LTBS posted:How rare are the SL63 AMG Blacks? We're not ones to get nice cars in this area, usually. Don't worry its not really a black series SL (Black series are fixed roofed and super wide fenders). looks like a SL63 with spoiler and blacked out badges. still nice but no insane black series.

If I recall correctly, didn't he end up just hanging out and becoming close friends with his captors?

One of my all-time favorite cars in the SCCA Region I race in just hit a milestone. He had to put a new motor in because he was "only making around 430 at the wheels these days". We all know what this means, right?   "Bring me every strap you've got..."  Mandatory underhood shot.  This is the "conservative everyday 93 octane tune"  (Old motor is in blue). The race tune on 110 is rumored to be over 750, but he ain't tellin'.And a few shots of the car. He glassed those fenders himself, just had a pro do the paint.

Its part of their repetitive formula to carry on about what the car does correct and them male up ridiculous poo poo about what is "wrong" with it. Is the M5 review.

Top Gear is an entertainment show, not a car review show. Truth is completely optional. They've been running in the current format for 12 years, how have people not figured this out yet?

For North America, I really wish RoadKill could get more exposure. It's got the entertaining parts of BBC Top Gear but they actually have an eye for mechanical things.

Freiburger mentioned something about them getting TV syndication this year, iirc. http://blogs.hotrod.com/2014-plans-for-hot-rods-roadkill-show-on-youtube-105951.html#axzz2s6XBKTBQ "The reason for those specific time limits is that Roadkill will now be cut to industry specs in anticipation of eventual airing on linear TV. But in the meantime, all Roadkill shows can be seen at YouTube.com/MotorTrend." So yeah, it's getting there.

The distracting text on the rear is cool though, imagine the driver behind him going; -"Yes indeed, why are we all here? Why am I in this car? WHY?" And then he crashes into the armco.

The local cars and coffee had this thing today. Mostly it's usually guys with old mustangs and vettes. Full disclosure, I know little about fancy expensive cars.   Some other guy had a brand new vette, still with the temp tags. Sorry no pics.
