Disgusting. You'd think with such bada** cars they would at least try to take some corners. Glad they can enjoy vehicles that cost more than my house, college education, and personal net worth combined. (sarcasm, but not too serious, cuz I'm not dead, and I can sleep peacefully without a huge karma cloud waiting to strike me and my gold digging wife dead with a heart attack and high cholesterol at 62)
I wish I could go for a bike ride right now!!!

I'll take the Carrera GT thanks! I dunno about the color, but a little Krylon should do the trick ;)

no riced out hondas???:eviltongu :rolleyes: yeah seriously, those guys to me are pretty much ricers with lots of money. why not actually take the car out on a track with corners? the most fun thing to do when driving a sporty car is to take tight, fast corners.

You'd have to read the original post (I think it is on vwvortex.com) to gain some understanding of the pictures, but basically these pictures were taken in somewhere in the Middle East (can't remember what Emirate) where the only motorsports they really have is drag racing. Personally, I think those guys should be commended for taking their cars to the track and running them instead of having them as just garage queens.

Heh, the other weekend, I passed a Carrerra GT getting onto the Golden Gate on my way to the trails, and then ran into a McLaren SLR on the way back at a Jamba Juice in Marin (Michael Johnson stepped out and ordered a smoothy).

$1M in cars in a span of about 4 hours and 20 miles.

ah, that would explain it. i thought it was a bunch of rich young dudes in the US that just wanted to drag race their cars.

Question: If they are in the Middle East, whats up with the hoochie? Shouldn't she be in a Burkah?

What about the "Shark Recovery Service" on the side of the flatbed....in English?:think:

I thought the same thing too, but look at all the guys in the background - they're all wearing those robe-type things they do in the middle east. Maybe it's in England, though - check out the funky phone # on the other tow truck.

Re the Carrera, the only one's I've seen are always silver - I think red's a big improvement.

i was wondering about the location myself. and whats with the tow trucks? you'd think that with such expensive cars they'd have their own trailers for transport rather than paying a tow service. or why not drive them home?

They race them but dont drive them? Why the tow trucks? Drive it man. If you have the money to own a car like that, why would you not drive it to the races.

No helmets?

Of course they play around; drop all that money on the race car and nothing on a trailer/tow vehicle? Come on...

Aha, just kidding. Looks like it was fun.

All I see is rich guys with too much money and time, not enough brains, and no respect for the environment. Oh well, at least they aren't out on a public street...

I think of the club scene in The Nutty Professor when I see cars like that. When Eddie Murphy pulls up in the Viper and the license plate says "PNS CAR"....that's pretty much what it's compensating for....

Now I'm not saying that I'm above that...I'm just sayin'!!:dancing:
