One day I hope to hear the LFA in person. Or even see one in person. Car of my dreams right there!

Analogy winner of the day 😂

The Ford GT makes a pretty good argument though. The sound very much has a lot to do with the experience and even it's V6 is a bit sad.

Thank you for taking the time to type this whole thing out! I thought I knew everything but I clearly only knew the GN takedown piece, wow.

 

Before I die of old age, I might eventually be brave enough to try something like this and stop paying people to do it.

Probably not.

I think this is gorgeous, of course it didn't come this way from the SUV store.

This one is even better!

I love you sense of style and colors.

I love his explanations, and this engine is pretty cool. I look forward to seeing one on the streets someday.

I hope that's the end result. GM was been busted for selling telemetry to data brokers and that data ended up in the hands of insurance companies causing rates to go up.

While not the same thing or the same company, at this point I have trust issues.

I'm not sure how to cross post so I'm trying it this way. But yeah this is terrible...

 

There is a competition called the 24 hours of lemons, where the car has to cost $500 or less outside of safety equipment. Getting a car for that price is near impossible unless it's totally crashed out but when I was young $500 specials would run for years without much issue. Car costs are nuts these days.

 

Cars of this age just seem to look better with age. This one is particularly gorgeous to me.

 

Gorgeous vehicle that's very well done. My favorite part is that they kept the original shifter, that hits the nostalgia button for me! I can almost hear it shifting in my head right now.

 

My dad owned multiple Nova's as a kid. There were plenty with lifted rear ends and blowers sticking out of the hood. But ours you had to lean forward to get decent acceleration. I still loved the lines of those cars and this one is no different! Spectacular.

Yes, they are

 

97 years ago Bugatti was turning out supercharged sports cars... what? I just thought this was a car company that started in the 70s... The more you know.

 

When I find myself at car shows I mostly just want to see the old rare sports cars like this. I dream of daily driving it, knowing my old man back won't be able to handle it. But I can dream right?

 

Set aside that Maseratis are unreliable, lose value about as fast if not faster than any other car brand, or their looks age poorly and look dated in less than a decade, or are way way out of my budget when they first come out, I still want the new ones every time I see them! And this one is no different.
