Prime mid 80s float.
WTF is with the ‘hypercar’ market these day?
This is selling for more than a McLaren F1 did back in the day (factoring inflation):

Too may billionaires these days to support this bullshit.
If only Bobby could regale for us the answers to these great mysteries.

I couldn't get a pic but how about an Avanti III, 4 door sedan? I saw one yesterday and can't unsee it now...
Nicole's stuff is usually pretty fun to watch, but this one is next level.

He's smiling now, but unfortunatly the 166 had a head on meeting with the wall at turn 3a at Pacific Raceways a few minutes after this was taken.
I wanna make sweet sweet love to that P4
That Pantera is awesome, that noise...
Someone beat you to it:Quote:

It’s a replica, but apparently a very good one.
That should buff right out.
refried, you sure the 166 crashed too? If so, that’s quite the carnage for a parade lap.
I was told it was the 166, I could be wrong. I was having lunch at the time and the car was covered and gone before anyone could see it.Quote:

I don't think I've ever seen a 671 blower with a single carb
That's a pussy magnet. Anything other than red velour interior would be a sacrilege.Quote:

My friend's dad had one of those green ('69? that era, anyway) back in 1991, I think it was a convertible. Anyway, 1991 was the era of the first minivan, by Dodge... the Caravan. They were maroon and every street had at least one or eight parked in the driveway. Super popular around suburban MN.
Well, we used to take our parents' cars for joy rides when we were 13-15.
Homie took his dad's vette for a ride, passed a minivan on the freeway, looked in the rearview mirror and saw his parents hunched over the dashboard staring at "their" vette being driven by their much-too-young son. Those minivans were so plentiful, he didn't even notice it was his parents.
And on that note-- my dad says he always knew I was driving his restored caddie because I would be off by an inch or two with my parking. But he never said anything because he wanted to catch me red-handed... knowing that if he accused me of it, I'd just deny it and then it would be "a thing" between us.
Ha. I tell my kids those stories and my wife gets mad. "Don't tell them that stuff!" "I tell them so they learn how dumb I was so they don't have to do it themselves." The honesty seems to be working so far. They're good kids.
^^^ I like stories like that. I had my 12yo up on an empty dead end street the other day starting to learn how to use a clutch and manual transmission in the e30 convertible. It was a, jerky, experience.
Yep, great stories Gaijin, I'm preparing myself for that phase in my son's life and I'm going to have to seriously consider how I want to share my (cautionary) tales from the same era.
Had some fun with this this weekend up on Chuckanut

Very cool. Gallardo?
Yessir. Just rented it for a few days to take up to a hotel cause there was some solid twisties to get up there.
It’s rear wheel and it was a bit wet so I had to be careful but still a ton of fun. Downshifting engine blips were only second in pleasure to freeway on ramps.

That's awesome!
I'd have to imagine downshifting 10 cylinders of pure noise right behind your seatback has to be an amazing feeling.
It really was. I will never go as ostentatiousness as a lambo, but I started bargaining for a used RS6 on the way home when I saw the smile on my wife’s face.Quote:

Sounds like what you actually need is an Audi R8.Quote:

It ripped up on me, confirmed what I thought was an older r[emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]] absolutely on throttle in left lane. Sinister, ominous, completely composed and stable around [emoji637][emoji638][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]] I’d guess , just disappeared passed me on throttle.
Needed a smoke after seeing that.
Wait , now I have the Peruvian pox???? Wtf!
It's ok, I picked up on the tone of your post - seeing pure sex in the mirror come and go like that.
And Art, a "before and after" RS longroof garage with your current one and a new one would be top of the mountain shit for these parts. Can't wait to see it come together.
Art, not really any cars out there that are more incredibly fun to drive and fairly practical than an RS6 Avant. Do it!

Wow, I don't know what's hotter, the Gulf-liveried 917s, the Rothmans-liveried 962 or the R-18 (which Audi factory liveries continue to be the sharpest out there)?
Rothmans 962. But I’m biased, I have a personal connection with one of those two drivers.Quote:
