Forgot I saw a red F12 yesterday too. If I ever hit the powerball, that's likely the first car I'd get.


The 812 Superfast is pretty vicious looking. I’ve always wanted a mid engine car but those front engine Ferrari’s are hot.

That's nice. That'd be a fun car to restore.
I was dumb and bought a car and trailed it home before realizing how bad it was.
It was a black widow car. It got shot up good and I didn't notice the damage in the inside from the slugs. I knew the metal work.
It sat for 38 years in storage, still has the 1979 plates on it.
I wish I had gotten something smaller.

Ive been seeing a 91 GMC Syclone lately. Basically its a old arse S-10 currently valued at $30k. It was the fastest accelerating vehicle you could buy in 1991. Faster than exotics.

Syclone's are badass. I remember one road test their only complaint was banging their head of the rear window when they hit it.

Too small for me unfortunately.

Should be easy to get wayyyy more power out of one today. The AWD made those things killers.

Syclone;




btw-Here's a W30 for those that don't know what one is.

Just plain basic stuff like Oldsmobile. I’d love to find a mint Delta 88.

My wife had a '90 Delta 88 Royale. That was a sweet driving car. Plenty of room for the kids in the back and adequate power for its size. I don't remember having any problems with it and when I sold it, everything was still working on it.

My brother has a Typhoon. Always wanted one and found someone close selling theirs. He loves that vehicle.

Saw the same situation. There’s also a Ferrari F430 that cruises around Walker from time to time.


Wish I had gotten a picture, I’m sure Walker PD doesn’t pull over too many of those.

Chrysler’s TC by Maserati - teaming two of the worst automakers (at the time) from the US and Italy. What could go wrong? This one looked even rattier in person.

Elvis’s Stutz Blackhawk. Gorgeous automobile.


About 5-7 years ago I saw several (what looked like) Camel Trophy Land Rovers going down Seigen near Perkins. No idea what they were doing in town.
