Can't say I've seen one of these before until yesterday...

 

The 360s were the last to use timing belts, requiring the expensive belt change every 3 years ($3-5K and an all day affair IIRC).

F430s use a timing chain.

LMSBO!

 

This may be the wrong area for you, but do you know if the PizzaHaus gtg's are still going on out there?

 

To be honest, I never heard of it.

wow I am uber-envious of you seeing a Koenigsegg in person!!!

 

I probably spent 30 minutes just looking at that one car...

Just the door hinge mechanism is amazing...

Can't wait for this year's auction to see what's on display...

 

Oh my goodness

 

Friends M3 EVO being restored. Getting there slowly.

Wow good stuff! Keep updating on this one if you can.

 

Stogie, you should have called me. I would have gone with you!

 

This is the Winter Barrett Jackson auction in Scottsdale. If you are in town for it, let me know, I live right down the street from where they have it.

Jan 15-22 http://www.barrett-jackson.com/events/scottsdale/


Check the link for a preview of some of the cars up for auction...

 

 

Ooo, ooo! Me too! Me too!

 

Koenigsegg :fap::fap::fap:

 

Hmmmm......Scotsdale......middle of January.......I might have to clear out my calendar.

 

458

 

Today coming back from lunch I saw a Fisker Karma in the flesh on Canyon Road and by the time I realized what it was, it was too far gone for a picture.

I was alone so the thought process went like this:

First second: Ah...LEDs. Damn Audis.
Next three seconds: That's no Audi.
Next second: What is that?!?!?!
Next three seocnds: WHAT THE F**K IS THAT?!?!

 

^^ cool

my story from tonight is not quite as rare ... no photos tho...

saw a white R8 V10 spyder on the highway... my god that thing looks wicked. I think I like the spyder better than the coupe aand the sound.

 

I must agree with you, the R8 Spyder is a gorgeous car and one of the few cars out there where the convertible is even prettier than the hardtop. My local dealer has a white on black V10 Spyder on the showroom floor. That car makes me want to buy a lottery ticket and head somewhere warm with it for the winter.

 

Those are like Honda Accords around here.

 

yeah, I can't think of any other car where that applies. hell, I don't even really like convertibles

 

I don't think there is or ever has been a car like that. Convertibles always wind up looking frumpy, especially when the top is up but the R8 looks stunning either way. Personally I'm glad they went with a traditional soft top, a metal folding roof would have looked awful in that profile.

 

I saw a white C63 AMG coupe on the NC State campus a few days back. Wasn't able to get a picture

 

we ran into this bad boy while doing some runs in mexico.






man this car still looks sick as F***. and cheap too.

Gotta love the Arnage.

 

Speed yellow Widowmaker FTW

 

Dad sent me this picture. Sticker: $304,000.

 

Oh mah gawd

Not worth $300k though

 

Werd. I'd spring for a SLS AMG and pocket the extra $100K or else get a 458 and call it a day.

 

In terms of design, SLS >>> SL Black Series. I'd get an SLS before that thing. The SL is being redone I believe for next year. But good god...still one sexy beast.

 

Yeah it's effing sick but not $300k sick. That's 3/4 the price of an Aventador

 

Dad is buying it....right?

 

He likes the SLS more.

 

Cars and chicks sound much better. Wouldn't u say so?

 

Guy on the right:

 

lmao. i know. that dude ruined the picture.

I edited him out.

 

Went to pick up a part from my Acura dealer today and they had this in the showroom
