This is a great looking car. I'm not hip to white interiors, but this works for me.

Nice! Ford is dropping the blown V8 from the Mustang GT500 into the upcoming Raptor R:

Some of these pick up trucks they're coming out with cost as much as a 7 series Beemer. For a pick up. You used to get them all day for almost nothing. I've never owned another type of 4 wheel vehicle, but I have a feeling it will next time I need a ride.

 

[Pornfan99]

Well .. a loaded Mustang GT500 runs as much as a Porsche 911, now.

How much is a Shelby GT500 fully loaded?



When adding the most expensive options and accessories to a Mustang Shelby GT500, a fully loaded 2022 Ford Mustang costs around $110,000.

2022 Porsche 911​

Sports car


MSRP: From $101,200

 

[Mr. Daystar]

It's getting to be a little ridiculous, don't you think?

 

[Pornfan99]

Don't know how familiar you are with the GT500 - but check out the charge to have the white stripes painted, vs. having the decals:

 

[Mr. Daystar]

Damn! I think I saw $10k, I had to blow it up, it got fuzzy, but if I'm right, DAMN! I bitched like a little girl about $350 for a Softail front fender, plus the fender. It was a one year only color scheme, but it's not like they never did it before.

This knucklehead should be ****** to take the bus for taking a car like this to a budget paint shop. If their was an organization for cars, like ******* have with the APL, he would be in trouble.

For pure collectability I get it, but for me, nothing replaces slut red or black. On the bright side, it's not wrapped in one of hose obnoxious graphics wrap.

 

[Pornfan99]

Beautifully styled cars, and the Ferrari 599?! Mmmmm..

 

[Mr. Daystar]

Ya know, oddly the only Ferrari's I really think are beautiful, are the 5 supercars, and a couple of the older ones, like the '65 gto 250, that style. Although they are certainly better looking then anything stamped out of Detroit, or any Asian country.
I don't know if you saw "Ford vs. Ferrari", but Enzo tells Iacocca, "tell Ford he makes ugly little cars, in ugly little factories", and other then the glorious muscle that rolled out in the '60s, he was right. If you haven't seen it, you should. A movie on Netflix called "Lauda" was really good too.

1973 Ferrari Daytona 365 GTB/4

One of the most beautiful Ferraris ever made.

I'm not a big fan of those little 2 seat roadsters, but this is a cool looking little car, and I like the shade of blue too.

This is an interesting piece of history. I wonder what it will bring at auction?

 

[Mr. Daystar]

This is a cool little truck. I would loose the wood flat bed, install a fifth wheel, and use it to pull a nice fifth wheel camper trailer. It likely wouldn't do much good in a commercial application anymore, but it surely could serve duty in the fashion I described. Of course, cab overs, especially set back front axles like that, will beat your body up.

Take a look at this beauty. I would love to own this car, and a great color too.

Some guy bought a Bugatti for EACH of his six ****!

https://www.yahoo.com/autos/******-bought-bugattis-six-****-160000338.html

So you must be wondering what kind of Bugattis this man bought for his ********? Well, since none of them are old enough to drive yet, he went with the Baby II for all six. A tribute to the classic Bugatti Baby, a creation Ettore Bugatti gifted to his youngest *** Roland, they’re a 75% scale, fully-electric recreation of the Bugatti Type 35.

BUT - he DID buy himself a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+: The ****** bought for himself a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, a model created to commemorate Bugatti breaking the 300 mph street car speed. With just 30 made, these more aerodynamic versions of the French hypercar are quite collectable.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

Well at least he thought about his ****. I never thought they were that attractive of a car, but they certainly do go fast.

This is pretty cool, and looks like amazing craftsmanship went into it.

Supercar Sunday returns! (With bidding though 7/10.)

[Mr. Daystar]

I really like those 2 Ducati Super bikes. When I was a young man I really wanted to tear up a track on one of those. I also really liked the 2014 Ferrari 458 speciale, the white Maserati, and the McLaren.
