I was once "in love" with a guy who drove a - Red Ford Gran Torino- that car was awesome -
( and so was he )
Men and there sports cars - I remember - showing up with a bunch of friends at the Metro Park - just about every Saturday during the summer months and the guys would would wax their cars and us girl would just sun bathe ....
Plenty of beer and whiskey went around too - we were careful not to get caught by the park ranger...

but seriously that car is damn ridiculous. I've only seen one of those IRL. How did you end up with it?
and my name isnt sally, that car is amazing fucktards!
edit: that Morgan has the first gen xenon mini cooper headlights hahaha.
It was my best friend's Christmas present to himeself. He got that as his daily driver and he also got a "weekend" car delivered on the same truck. Here's a shot of that being unloaded:

baddest car on the planet. 1000+ hp and 280+ mph, as delivered.
no one here could drive that car @ 280mph. no one here could drive that car without going to that car company's driving academy. am i correct or being silly? when folks bought shelby cobras back in the 60's they had to attend driving courses.
i've been down the highway in junk ass muscle cars (or bikes) well over 120mph. that was pretty fast enough and scary when it wasn't me driving (or if i was ) or when i ate the floor due to fear for my life. 280pmh in a tight car is ridiculous. when are people going to start dying in this thing?
wow... wait.
i remember going to watch friends ride this motorcycle. dumb shits. if i remember the speedometer read 180mph. i remember they took turns on this bike. they were screamin' well at around that 180mph mark.
add another 100mph onto that... you're out of your mind.... that has to be flight. fuck off.
Just traded in my 2007 Acura TL for a 2011 Acura RDX.
Love my Acuras.
Nice...I looked at the RDX..we wanna get an SUV but probably something bigger than the RDX
Good Luck with it
Thanks!
We really need a bigger one, but the MDX is too expensive. And the RDX is more than adequate for now. And it is a pleasure to drive, with just enough luxury to feel like its a fancy car. If that makes any sense.
And if you do consider the RDX, they have this red burgundy color that no one is buying. You can negotiate a good deal on that color-they cant give them away. Of course, my wife refused to take one in that color which we could have got for about $3k under invoice price. :x

You need a special key to even get it into top speed mode, and even by then you need a ridiculous amount of road to get it anywhere near that speed. Oh and if anyone here doesnt watch Top Gear, fucking do it. Its so good that you dont even have to like cars and youll still fall in love with the show.

Kankkunen sets new world speed record on ice
February 16, 2011
Pirelli teamed up with four-time World Rally Champion Juha Kankkunen to set a new world record on Tuesday, with the Finn reaching 330.695kph (205.48mph) on ice in a Bentley Continental Supersports.
Kankkunen used spiked Pirelli Sotto Zero winter tires over a 16-kilometer course on the frozen Baltic Sea off Finland, where the ice is 70 centimeters thick. Despite tricky conditions that included snowstorms and cross winds. Kankkunen was successful in his attempt to break his own record, averaging 330kph in both directions; as required by the Guinness Book of Records, which verifies record attempts around the world.
“The tires were really good, because to make them work in the conditions we had was not at all easy,” said Kankkunen, who won his last WRC event on Pirelli tires in Australia in 1999. “First of all, it was so cold. Secondly, the ice is so slippery and bumpy that you have wheel spin all the way to 300kph: it's just a question of playing with the throttle and gears to find the speed.”
The car was standard apart from a welded-in roll cage, rear bumper-mounted parachute and a set of custom Pirelli Sotto Zero winter tires to 275/40R20 specification. The 51-year-old Kankkunen believes that record-breaking attempts such as his run in Finland can help to develop road car tires for everyday drivers in future.
“This is a very different experience to driving on the road, but you have to push to the maximum sometimes to see how things work," he said. "You can see from these tires that the techniques of construction are very good and learn some important lessons about how to build tires in the future to cope with even the most extreme conditions.”
In celebration of Kankkunen's achievement, 100 limited edition Supersports will be made and shown for the first time at next month's Geneva auto show. They will be the most powerful Bentley road cars ever made.

ok...i gotta ask.....what is with the man love for these mini coopers? i don't get it.
didnt see that. Because they handle incredible. Especially if you have the first gen like mine. the new ones have a tad more of an "artificial" feel. The steering is ultra responsive, the clutch is nice and stiff, the gearbox is ultra notchy, the ride is very stiff, the supercharger SCREAMS at full throttle, the stock engine management was purposely designed to leave excess fuel run off into the exhaust so it burns off which causes the exhaust to burble and pop.I can go on and on. Its 100% an enthusiasts car. lots of people auto cross their minis. Plus, their owners arent your typical douche bag VW owner.

Hey John... Yes it's Andy
Believe me no offense taken. I'm far from that whole scene
I'm collecting my car at the weekend Changing my strangley-falling-apart Mazda MX5 for a Mazda RX8 (the "exclusive" one)and I cannae flippin' wait. Very excited yet nervous about the whole thing. Hope that rotary engine doesn't start to fall apart as soon as I get it. I'll have to practice my cold and hot starts in the evenings!
You friend has a murcielago? is he also the president of the Louisiana street pharmacy?
Nah, he went the other way, and owns a couple of legit businesses. The really funny part of that though, is in what little spare time he has he's a reserve sheriffs officer. You just know whenever people see him parking the AMG at the headquarters and getting out in his uniform the first thing they think of is "crooked cop". I know I would. One of the many great advantages of him being the police is that all of his cars have blacked-out tinted windows (including the windshield ) and none of them have inspection stickers.
Yeah, he puts in a lot of time and energy (without getting paid for it since he's only reserve) but it's got to be worth it never having to worry about getting a ticket for equipment violations or speeding.
I have a 2010 Infiniti G37 sedan named Gigi. RWD, 6-speed manual, 328 horses.
