Same thing. It's still a bit vague. The 'INSANE' bit needs animated flames to show it's active... :unsmigghh:

Fun fact: An Aventador out here costs around USD 750,000 - 800,000 after all the silly taxes and fees.

Saw this a bit ago. Surprisingly small in person, as I suppose most are. Owned by a fellow who also has a 918 (and two more on the way,) an Aventador with a fried ECU, and a stable full of other amazing machinery. This one takes the cake for me, though.

So...were you expected to use that LCD screen as an instrument panel, or something? That interior is a disaster.

It's 100% awesome. We already established in the motorcycle thread that you have poor taste. I'm seriously questioning if you're actually a child of the 90s right now.

Born in the 80's. It's great having all those adjustable variables and readouts and stuff but the interior as a whole is hideous and impractical and it's an auto.

Proper interior:



Important poo poo is clean and clear and right in front of you, less important poo poo off to the side but still facing you, least important poo poo down where you can't see it because it's your passenger's job to make the windows go up and down and poo poo. No bullshit buttons or pointless fiddly trash. I want to drive the car, not gently caress around with a million buttons.

There's a pretty good Cars & Coffee that happens on Treasure Island in the bay.

This was a straight-pipe 430 that was loud as gently caress: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TX4Zqz_0m8


If you look closely when I approach the car, you can see the Ferrari badge vibrating loose.
