That is my mother's. She got it from Mary Kay, hence the logo on the side. It was given to her for free because she is a Mary Kay director or something and she earned it. It's her 4th free car. It's a 09.

Cool.

Shame Saturn had to go, they made some of the coolest cars before biting the dust.



Pontiac too had to go


The plant in Wilmington Delaware that used to make 'em GM sold to Fisker and it will be making this

I miss dead car manufacturers. Like Saab.

[E6600]

Saab is not dead!
Saab was bought by Spyker. GM finally agreed to the deal.

[rounds1]

Yeah, Saab's back.

Can't say they're better than ever, though... their current lineup is pretty meh-tastic.

[Nirvana09]

I'm cool with that. Tomorrow, I'm picking up the bug.

Pictures incoming.

YouTube - ZR1 Smokes GT-R: Chevy Corvette ZR1 vs. Nissan GT-R

They missed the fact that the GTR has 4 seats, looks better and costs less. I'll be happy with either.

David Coulthard driving around Belfast and doing donuts in an F1 car?

Never seen an F1 car that close. Noisy fucker, like a jet engine. He could only drive in second gear (plus the road is terrible condition). Earlier in the day, they had it on jacks going through the gears and I was deafened and it was beautiful.

Well, I got it home today. Towed it home on a tow dolly. Here are the pics.

On the dolly (That guy is not me)



There it is holding for dear life. The Freeway was it's final test. And that is me and my corduroy jacket.



First moment we got it home. It's dirty.



Here it is after a quick wash and a scrub.



Here is a panoramic picture of all of our cars. I guess we have a few more in back, but most here are mine. If I moved out, I'd have to get rid of them.

Ah yes, there's nothing more glorious than the sound of an F1 engine. I've gone to quite a few races between 2000 and 2003. I should do that again sometime.

Too bad they're using V8 engines now instead of the V10's. Those things really made your ears bleed.
