Also the 612 isn't great looking.

Neither is the 599 (they look practically identical to me). That lambo is pretty much my dream supercar though. Colour and everything.

vvv I can see that. Problem is both those caars on their own look fine. The ferrari looks stretched and awful to me.

Supposedly these Mercs can do 300hp relatively comfortably... euro muscle car! When I lived in Helsinki my plan was to eventually do that. I saw a couple of 'Mersus' done up like that, pretty cool imo.

You can drive it without being a drug dealer, but you'll have to get used to people coming up to your window asking if you have drugs.

I saw a dewinged 'Godzilla' [Nissan Skyline GTR] a few times on the highway in Scottsdale. Apparently the old guy who owns it daily drives it, too. Thing is bad f___n rear end. I saw a couple other rides like it at this shop by ASU.. those things are f-n cool rides man.


This is a post from a while back but I just wanted to mention that the R34 is a super daily driver except for the obvious high fuel usage. Mine just ticked over 154 thousand kilometres and I cannot think of anything I would rather drive. That said, I've put 120k on it getting about 300km to a tank which costs about $70 AUD... so roughly $28,000 dollars in fuel since I got it in 2007.... Oh god, its a horrible daily driver.

More glorious Nissan love to be had for their new paint trails:

Nissan gets the idea to spray a car with a hydrophobic coating? Truly the height of innovation, people sure haven't been suggesting that since the first demo videos of the stuff showed up on the internet a few years ago!

65 litres/17 gallons in the tank. That's roughly 11 MPG or 21 litres per 100km, I think.

That can't possibly be right if your car is even close to stock - just how much power is it making?

My s15 gets about 16L/100km bone stock, which is one of the reasons I'm getting rid of it. I absolutely love driving it, but high fuel price and the need for my wife to have a car she is comfortable to drive in means its time to go.

I figure if I ever want to get another in a couple of years they will only be a couple of grand. Prices are plummeting at the moment.

Had our annual NSX Club of Canada spring BBQ get-together yesterday.

If you ever wondered what what 20 NSX's, 2 S2000's, 1 E46 M3, 1 FD RX7, 1 Acura RL, 1 Subaru STi and a Ford F250 look like in one spot, here it is.





Next month we have our annual weekend away which includes a track day. I will doubtlessly whore out some more pictures of that when we get home too.

Notice they did it on a white car. People who have tried it on auto paint says it leaves a white haze on the car. I'm sure that eventually they'll figure out how to fix that, but until then, it's not ready for automotive use.

Obviously its not close to stock - I don't think there are many left that are. Its making just under 250rwkw (mines a GT-T and thus isn't AWD and only single turbo) and I'd like to point out that my daily drive is a lot of stop/start apart for a 15km stretch down the motorway which increases the fuel usage.

Oh yea, this stuff is a low way off but combine it with that self healing paint they were working on a while ago and you've got some interesting times ahead.

You certainly don't want to stick it on your car if you live around Quantico, VA or Beaufort, SC. Unless you really hate your car.

Given what it says and the fact it uses the USMC logo I'm betting the dent in the bumper next to it was a result of the sticker.
