my car revs to 8k and doesn’t build power till 3,500. So I know what you mean.

the 535d.... 255hp at 4K and 412lbf at 1500.
O-60 in 5.6. It has a butter smooth 8speed auto. The car just moves fast, silently and utterly without drama. It’s the exact opposite of mine. It’s an interesting beast. Plus it gets 32mpg on average.

 

I know, but while it'd be nice in a sedan, I don't think I want that in a sports car. Of course, you could always go for the best of both worlds with a 911 though, which is my long-term plan if I continue to need a car.

 

My RX-8 revved to 9k and didn't build power.....ever lol.

 

Still available, get your bids in.

Yeah, she got blowed up, didn't she? LOL

A friend of mine in college had one of these. I had to drive it one night, somewhere, and I couldn't find the headlight switch. It was something weird, like a stalk next to the turn signal. Crazy Frenchmen!

 

Hardly rates with other entries, but interesting, I thought. I had a house call to a rural property today, to find this artifact. A 1939 Mercury coupe. Introduced by Edsel Ford in 1938, to bridge the gap between Ford and Lincoln.

 

Friend of mine had the negative of this one, triple black. Surprisingly little space inside these, but oh my god, the leather!

 

I’m an automotive photographer. Here are a couple.

Love the Calsonic Skylines.

 

The 90's was a good year for JGTC lol.

A picture I took at the Corning Concours in 2018 of a Ferrari Boxer race car.
An amazing mixture of raw beauty and functionality.

 

Three wheels on my wagon.....

 

A picture I took of a friend's 1955 Mondial.
