i actually do smartass. i run a charity that helps less fortunate adults and children as well as children and adults with terminal diseases to help give them gifts during the holidays.
well that's excellent. i'm proud to be a member of a community with people like you (i'm being serious, and to clarify that i'm not calling you out just to be a d!ck, i work in cancer research and diagnosis and assist in treatment of some of the most deadly types of childhood cancers).
Jeezus. A man of EXPENSIVE taste.i prefer to have the italian wine in front of my face, weather be damned.
With YOU on it?My R1 is 2.7
this is a thread about ferraris, not fiats. keep up.Jeezus. A man of EXPENSIVE taste.
If I had one I am pretty sure I could find some nice roads with low likelihood of Tercel grandmothers.
it's cachet. and, like i said, it only "matters" if you're old money. i think it's stupid, even if the machines themselves are beautiful.
i bet youll love their hybrid when it comes out though
it'll be as dumb as the hydrogen BMW 7 series
granted, that is a dumb car...but a car with KERS is pretty great
theyll make one in any color you can dream up, as well as the interior color choices too
yup. my uncle owned a 1991 348 tb a long time ago. he was an engineer and had always appreciated automotive design, engineering history, prestige and above all, heritage. over the years he had owned a few alfas, a porsche (i think), and some other fast and sexy european exotics, but had always longed after a ferrari. when he bought it, i ,in my ignorance, asked him why he bought something so ludicrously expensive. he smiled and said that yes, then got me into the passenger's seat and rocket off down and around montauk, long island at a go-straight-to-jail speed with a sh*t-eating grin the whole way. anything that can make a 50 year old engineer grin like a fat 10 year old seeing his birthday cake is worth every penny.
Yep, it's like either you get it or you dont, i have had the experience of driving 2 italians and to me it will be worth every penny when i can buy one some day. The way I figure i'm 2 cars away from owning an italian, the next will be a 911 then oh someday an f-car or a lambo (not new of course)...hopefully work keeps on going well
I disagree. People who drive cars like subarus and such need a car that has....What are the words i'm looking for....ACTUAL FUNCTIONALITY
and people who are buying exotics arent probably going to be driving it in the winter or pick the soccer team up in....a soccer mom maybe
Agree'd obviously if you are buying this car it isnt your DD, man what i wouldnt give to have an element and a 458 in my garage...The element is an awesome riding rig...It's not about status, it's about fun...you can have it in both...
Agreed.
that is probably the static compression ratio. dynamic compression ratio can be lower based on cam profiles and timing. this is why you see a lot of motorcycles and such with static CR in the 12's that are capable of running pump gas.
hmm touche on that one..the rest of the car is a wet dream, but thats almost as bad as the Lexus ISF's stacked pipesSeriously? Didn't like this either then?
done. thanks!Someone needs to photoshop h8rice a new avatar with this pic....
