Are you entering or just answering. :susp:

I thought I was entering? lol or am I missing something?

Pretty sure this is their first effort, or at least the first in a long time.

Yeah they have sold cars here before, but it was a long time ago. This is their fist attempt in a very long time. I don't see them selling well at all because, unfortunately, people here do not like change and will not buy anything they are not used to. Hopefully someone will open their eyes though.

I am thinking Venice, Italy. But I have a feeling I could be wrong lol. I am not very good with landmarks and such.

I agree with others. No Q7, no deal lol.

Since I, for some reason, cannot find the thread I made about my 2009 Silverado, I will post the update here.

Friday, I had my new exhaust system from Flowmaster installed. It makes the sound of God! I never expected it to turn out that good. I mean it came out absolutely perfect. I couldn't be more happy with it :)

I don't know what we are voting for, but I voted Corvette :)

I think it looks awful.

But, I thought that the SLS was awful when it came out, and now I love it.

This one may warm up on me after time.

From what i've heard, there is a illegal beta version flying around on the internet. Friend of me told me about it. He is playing the beta, but he's not in the program.

Ditto. I've got a friend doing the same thing.

I can tell you from experience that you are a lucky man. There is simply no feeling in the world like owning your dream car.

Congratulations on a very nice vehicle.

;351134']You are unbelievably lucky! :thumbsup: How long was the drive?

Like less than 5 minutes lol. But it was totally worth it :D

For someone who has never driven a vehicle with a double-clutch transmission, it was very different lol. At low RPMs the whole vehicle wanted to shake real bad. But despite being that low to the ground, it rode like a dream. I was shaking when I got out of it as you can imagine. Going directly from a 302hp truck into a 560hp supercar is not something done easily lol. The whole car just makes you feel special though. The engine sound is indescribable. As soon as you push the start button, the mirrors automatically adjust, and doors lock, and the steering wheels slowly lowers down into your lap as if you say, "Hello :)" lol.

It is truly something that I will never forgot lol.

As of yesterday, the best car I have ever driven is a 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG!

I was thrilled that I received the opportunity and did not hesitate to say yes.

It is truly something that I will never forget :D

2011 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

Torch red exterior color

Cashmere interior color

3ZR package

Aluminum wheels.

Oh the things I would do in the car. I would only get in trouble :)

I actually kind of like it lol.

Hey Diablo, what about a beta key for each speshul members^^ :excited::excited::excited:(OMG the green bar is reaching 200$ in one day)

Lol you just made me laugh.

Ew.

Great thread dude lol

I thought it died age ago though...?

 

:confused:

Wasn't the last post in this thread ages ago as well? :P

Typical.

it's a heap of crap mid nineties Mustang.

Not mid nineties Tom, it's early 2000's. So take that! lol

-irrelevant Rang Rover picture-

Yay for phone cameras...

Hey, look at the positives, you could be using my phone camera. Feel better? lol

Honest opinion on American cars... lol. Just biased the other way.

 

I refuse to watch this show. Woop.

This makes me lulz :D

Video: First trailer for U.S. Top Gear!

by Alex Nunez (RSS feed) on Aug 7th 2010 at 12:33PM

You all know that the long-awaited U.S. version of Top Gear is headed to The History Channel, and now it's time to get your first taste of the show. The first trailer for the show is online, and if it's any indication, Tanner Foust, Rutledge Wood and Adam Ferrara are going to win over viewers, and the program will not stray from the BBC original's successful formula of cool tests and zany challenges.

In fact, one of the new show's challenges is the trailer's centerpiece. In involves the hosts determining the best $1,000 car by putting a trio of them through a punishing "moonshine run" dirt course. The ride selected for the teaser is Ferrara's, the airborne 1976 Cadillac Deville Calais seen above (it could be a '75, but we're pretty certain that's the '76 grille pattern). How does a malaise-era Caddy handle a landing after catching that much air? About as well as you'd imagine - this isn't the make-believe world of '70s cop shows, after all. It's hilarious.

Bottom line: The hosts exude great chemistry and the motoring action is pretty much everything you'd want and expect from a program calling itself Top Gear. Still under wraps, however, is the Stig. The suspense is killing us. This looks like a completely fun show. Hit the jump to see for yourselves. Thanks to Chris for the tip!

Personally, I am excited for it. Autoblog do not tend to give compliments lightly, so it must be pretty good from their point of view lol. With no Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, or James may, it doesn't really seem right. But it will be nice to get a review of some American cars from an honest point of view :D

I hope not

Your hopes are a little too late I am afraid. The last Viper rolled off the assembly line about a month ago I believe.

Lancia Stratos Prototype Spotted Testing in Italy

August 3, 2010 at 1:22 pm by Justin Berkowitz

A prototype new Lancia Stratos has been spotted testing at the Balocco test track, the main proving ground for the Fiat Group in Italy. This photo, which comes to us courtesy of Italiaspeed, shows a car that appears remarkably similar to a 2005 concept built by private design house Fenomenon, which was itself meant to be an updated interpretation of the ’70s cult-classic car. The headlights, wheel arches, and even the rims themselves on the prototype are dead ringers for those of the Fenomenon Stratos (below).

2005 Stratos Concept by Fenomenon

That concept car was built with a mid-mounted V-8 engine, and that neatly matches the rumor floating around that this newest Stratos prototype is actually based on a modified Ferrari F430 platform.

The prevailing logic at this point is that this car was commissioned as a one-off for a particularly wealthy Lancia fan, but considering the resources necessary to develop this test car, as well as the potential interest from the automotive community, we expect that Fiat is at least considering small-scale production.

Nice to see you got that focus on your phone sorted... lol.

My phone takes wonderful pictures. Tinypic just refuses to upload them without blur lol.

Yes, this is an SLS. And yes, it is in Kentucky lol. A guy in my town just bought one, same guy who has the black ZR1. He also has an SL63 in the garage. I hate him, even though he is super nice. I'm talking like super super nice. He had to leave after I looked at it or he was considering letting me drive it. I am 16. Kind of crazy in my opinions but nice none the less.

Waving hello! lol

When he left, he tore up the road. I have never heard anything like it before. That AMG noise is priceless. I think I'm in love lol.

(Sorry for the picture quality. I was literally so shaky from excitement that it caused my phone camera to blue lol)
