I don't know what I'm more impressed by:
That Dominos has commissioned their own delivery rig, or that Taco Bell has decided to test market delivery around here.
No word yet on the Chalupamobile. Probably just use a '91 Geo Metro.

Most beautiful sounding car ever?
The first Shelby. Museum is small but cool. One of the few things to recommend about Vegas.

History aside, the black with red is choice. No fender flares, no side pipes, no 427, no problem.

Wow, that's pretty. And I hate red interiors.
Woot woot I'm back in business.Quote:

Yes that picture was shot at Villa d'Este which is on Lake Como.
Lots of pretty cars on that track!
Definitely not. A v16 is a weird noise. Cool for sure, but I don't think I'd call it beautiful.Quote:

I have a soft spot for Ford BDA 4 cylinder having grown up listening to them in my Dad & Uncle's Mexicos.
Stratos? V6 is supposed to be more "musically" pure.
Jeezuz, I would love to own one of those: "The 3.8-liter flat-six out of the Carrera S is humming along, mere inches behind us. In the GT4, it makes 385 horsepower, which is 15 horses shy of what it does in the Carrera S, but 45 more than the Cayman GTS and 35 more than the base 911. Below 5000 rpm, the engine whines and whirs; spin toward the 7600-rpm redline and the pulsing turns into a 10,000 conga-drum jam-o-rama. The six puts out a big 90 decibels at full whack. Don’t worry, though; it’s a pleasant sound, never annoying".Quote:

You do that yourself?
No. Although, I get to drive all the cars that I post, they belong to my brother. He is the car freak. He has a mechanic

I'd like to have a mechanic.

Most beautiful sounding car, that's a tough question. Most savage, easy.

They are actually coming down. That car would've been 200k a few months ago.
Could've bought all I wanted for 60-70k when I was with Porsche. :(

I'm just curious. is it an Italia, challenge, or a speciale. and what year and mileage? Valve stem seal or valve seats? Was blue smoke the symptom, or something else? Did he need to pull the Eng. for the valve work or for other Maint. (timing belt Ect.) I don't need to know, I'm just wondering.Quote:

I think the challenge has it written on the intake as well, now that I think about it.
Alright, so it's summer which means it's time to break out the manual transmission and after a long long drive today trying my best to blip gears on the downshift like this I've concluded my shifts are shit. Or I'm not driving the Nurburgring.Quote:

That said, it's infinitely more wonderful than the VFR. Had both for 6 months and kept the Aprilia.Quote:
