Oh yeah... there's so much testosterone dripping off that thing I think I see a little bit in a puddle underneath.  Every guy used to think that the supermodels would throw themselves at you if you had a car like that.  I wonder if that was true.  I don't think I've ever even seen one in person... not a lot of roads to drive that on up here.

Something just didn't 'look' right, and yes, I've lusted Lamborghini's all my life. I think this is a kit car,
nothing wrong with that, in fact, it's much more practical maintenance wise, and a helluva lot cheaper!!

I had a neighbor who had one of those in Pleasanton, CA. One of the loudest cars I've ever heard.

Yeah, call me silly, but I wanted one of these (although the F-22 wasn't an option back then...).

Still can't afford any of them, though!  At least, not the kind that you climb into the cockpit and fly yourself that is...

I don't recall my wet dreams being centered around cars, but since that's what we're discussing....  A Vector W2 or one of these:
1999 C-10: Knee savers, Givi trunk, Rifle windshield, KB risers, K&N...and counting...

What did I do to deserve this life?  And how do I do it again?
