I love how paul walker's stunt driver is about 50 with a receeding hairline and vin diesel's stunt double is a middle aged white guy.

What I always liked about that scene was even after he lost, the Ferrari owner drove home with a hot lady while Paul Walker just drives home with Vin Diesel. Edit: wow I just looked this up: 1997 Ferrari F355 Spider 0-60 mph 5.2 Quarter mile 13.5 If accurate that's not even as fast as the base Corvette of the same year. davebo fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Oct 28, 2013 |

The way the page loaded up for me, I just saw the picture, not the accompanying text. I was honestly expecting the caption to be "I did an automotive theme for my halloween costume this year".

Preoptopus posted:Thats why you can get one now for 45 grand. Prices have a lot less to do with performance and more to do with rarity and cachet with older Ferraris. Maintenance is another factor, as the cars get used by people rather than kept in a climate controlled garage, they wear a lot faster and jobs like the absurd timing belt on the 355 become a major area of concern.

A few I've collected recently. Parking lot at work. Apparently, someone makes an aftermarket grille for GMCs that look like Ford's:  Spotted in the parking lot at a swap meet last weekend, I present to you the White Disproportionate pickup:   The single headlight on the cab is what caught my attention over the sea of cars first. I REALLY should have taken a picture of the Studebaker pickup cab on a C4 Vette frame with all kinds of poo poo tacked on it rat-rod style, but with a sense of humor. Rat-trap as a gas pedal, one of the switches on the dash was a ceramic-base Frankenstein switch, complete with two home-style screw in fuses, corkscrewed wiring everywhere, and the passenger door had a doorbell - that rang the bell and released the power trunk latch on the gas-strut assisted door, just for starters. VW Beetle fenders on it. Oh, and he was squirting anyone that stood in front of it with remote-controlled window washers pointed forwards.

He's just a guy dressing like Ken Block? Is the joke that Ken Block currently drives a Ford instead of the Subaru he used to? Is it that the photo says "Top Tier Imports" and that's a 25k car? Or that the BR-Z is RWD instead of AWD? for reference:

Sadly, that logic doesn't help someone who pays real money to advertise sugar and shoes. also, Russ Swift throwing around a fairly new Golf. I sucked in a breath a few times which is impressive considering I know in my mind that he isn't going to crash. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Pouc2DczPI

If Monster paid me as much as they paid him and gave me a Ford, I'd drive it to the ends of the Earth and drink lovely energy drinks till I collapsed.
