Exotic/Sports Cars

[sparcboxbuck]

Saw a Nissan GTR cruising last night. (Unser brothers?) Kind of a stealthy supercar. I understand you need a racing license to "qualify" for one. Off track speed/performance limited by GPS tracking.

I had my S4 cab in for annual service a couple of weeks ago and saw that my audi dealer took one in on trade with 6k miles on it. While talking with one of the sales guys I was told the owner ended up trading in for the S5 cab. The salesman was looking forward to taking it home to play for the weekend. Sweet ride but the styling isn't my cup of tea.

I do enjoy tacos.....and gerbils.

Those gerbils - do you grill them, saute, bake?

Living under the hood of that 500.

My mechanic makes a great living off old Fiats! I once owned one at my wife's request. A fire extinguisher became a regular part of driving my Fiat. I doubt they have improved much.

But Chrysler makes such good cars already! Surely their involvement will help!

Mechanics across the US thank Chrysler daily for their cooperation! :tongue2:

The Chrysler-Fiat marriage.

Gotta think they're just praying for that "regression toward the mean."

I think you squash them under the tires of a 7000 pound Ford Expedition.

Just got to the Britcar episode of Top Gear (S10:E9) on Netflix.

Funny... Was visiting Sis-in-law and fam earlier this week. They have the Ford. Their neighbors have the Fiat.

I guess they're shooting for carbon neutrality in their hood.

My F250 diesel with an 8 foot bed loaded with crushed stone tipped the scales last month at just over 10,000 pounds. Unloaded (7800lbs) I get 18 to the gallon on 100% biodiesel. Fully loaded I get about 16.

I realize it isn't exotic or sporty, but it does have a turbo and 600lb/ft of torque, so I thought I'd share.

I pulled up next to a Tesla roadster at a traffic light last week in Ft. Collins. Sweet looking ride. I wanted to hear it accelerate at the green, but there was a beat up old pickup truck with a rusted out muffler behind us and I couldn't hear shit over the racket.

Let me help you with that. Have a listen:

They're okay stock, but if you want to bend time and space you need a P800 (800hp) variant from Switzer Performance in Oberlin:

Rode in one up at their shop. It's fairly insane. The wild part is that they make three other packages that are even faster.

I prefer the one that looks like a toaster...
