Something wicked this way comes...

I've got a true Baller-mobile that I'm working on this weekend...an 08 BMW M6 (black, of course). This is going to be a big job as I'm doing paint correction, engine compartment, full interior, etc. Gotta love those 6-figure black cars with 500HP V10 motors, carbon fiber roof, etc, etc. Stay tuned as it will be a long post with plenty of photos.

Oh...you thought the M6 was the wicked car I was referring to? Actually it's just one of their daily drivers!

The video below is his toy! HIGHLY modified Lamborghini Murcielago with straight pipes! He has a nice external mic on his video camera, yet the sound was too much and still distorted. At full throttle high RPM he's hitting 138db in this thing!

My neighbors are going to love me when he comes over with it tomorrow while they drop off the M6. I know him, and he WILL rev it loudly for me!

And yes...I will be doing an extensive detail on this one in the near future!







Lambo Murci with straight pipes!

Wow Todd, nice! I certainly wouldn't complain if a Lambo was coming over to my neighbors and reving his engine

So, I hope that he's AT LEAST going to take you for a ride in the Lambo at some point? What a neat car!

Just out of curiosity, what does this guy do for a living?

Can't wait to see the detail pics of the M6 this weekend!

Actually the Lambo will be cool to have around for a few days, but they're a real PITA to work on!

Jeff...what does he do for a living? Errr, he spends money.

I may need an assistant for the Lambo! I'll probably have a good 20 hours in it.

The schedule on the Murci is still undecided yet. It's going to be spending a bit of time in the shop having some massive mods done to it (again), so the detail is up in the air based on their build schedule.

Todd, would love to be able to shadow you sometime. I've got interior detailing down, however I have no clue on how to correct paint. Anxiously looking forward to this M6 detail!

From the sounds of it, I have a whole gang to help me! Woohooo...

The funny thing is that I was introduced to him by Wes_R (from Canada!)...gotta love the networking aspect of the internet.

Todd, I'd be more than happy to come assist as well - let me know when and where! Hell, I'll even bring the grill and food - we could have a nice little meet-up

So, give me your address, and I'll make my way out there.... it's only a 5 hour or so drive, not too bad!

Cant wait for the write up. Honestly, your write ups have become some of my favorite posts all time for me. Your work is top notch.

Hell Wes, I think I owe you $$ without you even having to come all the way down here...you introduced me to Dwiggs!

I just finished the interior on the M6 and will work on the rest starting in the morning. You should have seen all the neighbors rubber-necking to look at his Lambo when he stopped by this evening. I knew he was coming because I heard it...it sounded like something straight out of hell rolling down the road.

Hey, give me a break...I started at 6am this morning and put 11 hours in today on top of a few last night! I've got another 3 or 4 to go tomorrow morning. I'm tired!

Here's what I've got so far:

I like the reflection shots you do outside your home. The white house gives some some cool reflections on dark paint.
