That’s not a 765LT

I thought that’s what the badge said, but I was about 20 ft away. Then what is it?

Saw a freshly imported R34 the other week. Wife didn't understand my excitement.


Godzilla is a pretty understated supercar.


The rarest car I have seen in a long while that was not in a show was a Lamborghini Centenario roadster. I was in New Haven for work in May and saw one going the other direction on a small road, didn't have a chance to take a pic nor did I have time to try to chase it. 20 were built total and maybe 3 or 4 came to the US.

This is a stock pic but the one I saw was yellow with exposed carbon. I tried to track it done on VINWiki but didn't find it.





I personally am not a fan of Lamborghinis but the Centenario is one that I do find mostly pleasing but only if they are monochrome, some of the two-color schemes are hideous to me.

Nice. I have 168k on my I6…the N52 is very detuned though.

That’s a lie. The Lexus truck is not being sold yet. Especially to someone who’s driving it in Denham.

no, it’s out. There’s a couple on TN I’ve seen. I’m guessing it’s like a beta launch with friends and fam of dealerships. But they are out there.

The car seems smaller than a new 3 or 4, and once you get it going you can always find 5k+ rpm gear. It’s a very fun car to drive. The car is so over engineered for the power you can pretty much throw it around and squeeze every ounce of power out of it with no worries of wear. It has the original clutch…can you even believe that?

12 years old and still a nice place to be.

Have a w221 s600....I don't think anything is original any longer.

It has been fun, but tomorrow I take pictures to put it up for sale. Can honestly say that I have drove it in sport mode less than a dozen times. Only drove it without traction control twice...not a good idea.

It really is too bad. I don’t want to add aftermarket. One of the best engine notes around as a naturally aspirated engine. Still is so fun to drive.

I think that’s the car I spotted yesterday, sorry for the shitty pic. I didn’t know what it was when I seen it sitting at the redlight.
