The Official Car Talk Thread

I suppose can continue the conversation from the Funniest Pics thread here, along with any other car talk..


Quote from Jabbit :
The SLS is pretty nuts, I have seen a couple on the streets and they sounds almost musclecar-ish. I also saw an Enzo at the car show (it was actually Cars & Coffee in Irvine CA which is pretty well known). I would like an older M3, the last one that had the inline-6. I have never been in one but they seem like they would be a lot of fun. Not really practical in New England though.

We should start an official "Car Chat" thread.
That enzo is awesome. I spotted a 599GTO at F1 as well. There were a few people leaning up against it taking pics. If I was the owner I'd have been pissed.

BMW is bringing back the straight 6 for 2013 (or maybe 14).. They're doing a twin turbo version in the name of fuel economy. There was rumor about there being a third turbo in there too.

No way I would have bought it ($149), but my parents got it for me as a gift. I have a video of my drive, but I am ashamed to post it because it looks stupidly slow from the outside even though I felt like I was hauling while I was driving.

I heard about the Jaguar driving, sounded pretty sweet. They do a lot of stuff there, giant parking lots that are perfect.

I wish I was closer to a more mainstream track. Lime Rock in CT is a bit too far. I have been there once, thought, for the SRT Track Experience - one of the best driving days I ever had - http://www.drivesrt.com/srt-track-experience/
$149 is a lot for 5 min.. There are occasional deals here and it's like $499 for 4 hours with 4 different cars. It's all on roads though. I'd rather get on a track with them.

I like the new refresh. Always been good looking cars with great performance (despite being a bit girly looking in some model years).

Bunny, do you by any chance remember the name of that person DC was talking about? I don't know what to look for and he couldn't remember the name.

I figured it had to be Shannon, but I don't think it was a blue truck.

I did a photochop of Shannon with Moviemogul's truck once I think. I wonder if I can find that? laugh out loud

Maybe this is a good place to ask for tips on repairing vacuum lines in a 5.2L Magnum Scratchchin
