I would agree with your sentiment if he didn't seem like such a cocky asshole for being litigious in his reaction to your personal opinion [shared by the masses] that it is "ugly". Because it is quite, unbearably, horribly, disgustingly ugly. If he didn't give a shit what anyone else thought, I'd say "more power to…

Oh man, I won't just outright ask to be followed, but let me just ask that you follow "Stang70Fastback" that replied to you. I don't even know why I expanded the pending replies to your thread, just by chance, but his/her/their response was hilarious, and stole my opportunity to say something snarky and original...too…

That was awesome...but the camera was pointed slightly left of straight ahead, which for some reason messed with my head. Regardless, I could watch these on board clips for days, in a daze. It's mesmerizing but with adrenaline.

Liquid "what"? I was looking for something more scientific or relevant to engineering and material science... And I'm pretty sure he meant powder coating. If it's dipped, I'm sure there's more detail out there.

You're on a roll...so what is e-coated? I'm guessing it's just electrically charging the panels and depositing a powder...better known as Powder Coating? Thanks!

Now you have me interested in seeing a graph of past supercars (or exotics?) value over time. I was guessing/assuming it would look like a depreciation in the years immediately following it's sale as "new", then slowly ramp up. This is based on pure conjecture, and I could be completely wrong, but I figured that the…

You could always rent one of these to hold you over. Tracked chair, but diesel and has a bucket, or jackhammer, or grappling bucket, or street sweeper, or auger for drilling holes, or....

SD Bacon Fest is a whole week long string of events, and way more than just the film festival. Tons of good breweries and restaurant vendors (and although I have never been, it's supposed to be pretty good). http://www.sdbaconfest.com/

Somewhere in this thread, the Bacon fat guy commented that it was supposed to be 5 x 55 gal drums, not 250 lb (which is also not 250 gallons, but 275...so whatever).

It's a CVT, so they'll actually be sitting back (er...leaning forward), and just twisting the go handle. Probably pretty boring, but they are riding across the country which probably suits this drivetrain. At least it'll smell tasty.

"Stripperiest of strippers" might be giving you more stars on this comment than the part about the price.

If you use your x-ray vision, you'll see that there is an SMG tranny hiding deep inside there, and for this, I am sad.

They picked a good number, too.

I feel like the Countach is one of the few supercars that can get away with having a crazy color and still look just as desirable to me. Must be the "doing piles of coke in Miami in 1985" vibe you mentioned...not from personal experience. I was only 5 back then...but I still get tingly when I see a Countach.

I wasn't really reading this thread, but caught this reply. Love it! Boats with big blocks are just awesome (even more so when they usually came with a small block like the Nautique). We still run my dad's '76 Charger jetboat with a basically stock 454, never been rebuilt, always been in the family. Thumbs up to your…

I was going to post this separately, but the last picture above is that split-window 40's car you mentioned. I just thought it was awesome because when first watching the trailer, and it jumps into the screen, I immediately noticed it was on a VW-based dune buggy chassis. Actually a pretty badass prerunner or race…

You'd think that being a hunter, Ted Nugent would paint his truck like a predator, and not, as is the case with our Nice Price or Crack Pipe Bronco, like prey. It's present owner is hunting down a buyer, and he better pray you like how he has priced Ted's truck.

I came here to say [nearly] the same thing. I have a BMW, so that's not a concern, and I normally don't like excessively large diameter wheels, but... Alpina wheels are just gorgeous. I think it's the heritage behind the look...

I'm a fan of most any machine, but cars, trucks, bikes and motorcycles made up my childhood, and they what stuck. I'm an adrenaline junkie, and that mixes well with all those hobbies. My dad fed me all his knowledge and interest and fueled my own new interests. Now I'm also an engineer, and have worked in various…

He actually wrote: "the Hellcat's V8 is the fifth most powerful production engine in the world." so the assumption was not necessarily limited to V8's. Just to clarify further.
