That's actually Felipe Massa's signature. I guess when you sign it thousands of times you streamline.

I just saw the picture and briefly hoped Ken Block was making a video in a RWD vehicle, I'd love to see it.

He kinda did a while back.

I don't know if the car itself is awesome since it's kind of a gimmick roof thing, but it's awesome that I saw one of 559 that were made. And how patriotic that it was on election day. SuperAmerica!

Not everyone is dying to see a GTR, but I seriously think they are the coolest things ever. It is always a good time to see one of these bad machines.



My new dreamcar right here. I could sleep in the back of that ride.

e: nice rig, SD-455.. the Pontiac isn't bad either.

I just realized I did capture a pic of his watch. I'd noticed it at the time but his sleeve covered it during the ride before I could get a good look. That watch is easily worth more than 3X my car's value.

It's a Richard Mille RM011 Felipe Massa Flyback. List price $115K

I should have offered a trade on the spot.

I debated a thread of its own but decided that while it's awesome as hell to me it probably didn't need a whole thread. Sorry for the number of pics. I have a shitload more but these are the best.


Last Sunday I got to drive my '61 Thunderbird around CotA. On USGP day, with 100,000 people in the stands, on international TV, with Felipe Massa riding on back. I think I mentioned I was going to do this in a thread somewhere. If there's interest I'll do a longer write up in its own small thread with more pics.


Showed up at the track at 06:30 on race day.


The parade cars were lined up outside the grandstand gate in the shadow of Turn 1.


Lined up in the paddocks just before the parade. Turn 1 in the background.


Lined up on the front straight ready to pick up our fares.

IMO it's one of the nicest cars ever designed. It's a very handsome car, the lines on it are spot on and it looks mean without being silly with it. The R35 just had no hope of looking anywhere near as good.

I'm double jealous, not only because of your sweet ride, and meeting Felipe Massa, but also because Austin had an awesome drivers parade. When I went to the Chinese GP back in April they just loaded all the drivers on top of a lame double decker bus with no roof.

Edit; I'm actually happy that Chinese don't care about classic cars, prices are already jacked up enough as is!

It's the opposite! At the top is a banner. I can see the guy doing the hang loose symbol through the windshield. It's just the picture quality as mentioned.

"Here's a big, beautiful avatar for someone"
I live on the outskirts of a small, relatively poor city in Ohio (the average household income is something like $37k a year) and the newest 'upper-end' sports car I ever see is an occasional new vette and the one same GTR . So my jaw dropped when I saw this beast parked outside the hospital today:




Any idea of what year model this is? That thing was wide and sexy as hell.

Sorry for the poor quality pictures
