That's a wonderful looking Z. Tasteful wheels! Do you have SpeedBleeders installed on your brakes?

Thanks. I was taking a gamble buying the wheels online without seeing in person. But I really like them.

As for bleeders, I've been using a vacuum system. It's done a good job, but not sure if it's making a complete seal around the bleeder valve. Might have to go the old school route and enlist the help of a pedal pusher.

Plus owning a lambo has always been a boyhood dream

It is incredibly how awesome the GranTurismos sound at idle. Congrats on the Lam too!

The overall quality of Maserati products has me on the fence about buying one. They sure look & sound cool.

Elys and I test drove a used Aston Martin Rapide on Saturday. I think that'll be our next car. Just wicked in every sense.

Very nice! I just picked up a used R8 (v8). We are actually using it for our business or I would have gone M6V10. :)

Wow, those are cool. A buddy had the V10 M5 in a manual. That car like 8 mpg city at best.

I know I am not the only one who'd like to see some pictures of your new ride! :dr

What kind of business necessitates having an R8? Are you fabricating a new exhaust in that picture? How long does it take to remove the back bumper section?

I have a side business that caters to the gun industry and the car is good eye candy for visual marketing posts.

As for the exhaust, it was a purchased unit from a company called Avior (titanium). That is just a picture of the install. The place where I took it had it for 7 hours for just the install (which was the same timeframe the Audi Dealership quoted, same price too).

Does Audi offer an OEM gun holster? I know BMW has them for HK's and some other guns.

Yes, they are outfitted for police cars in Europe. Just like you'd see on a Crown Vic or something...

You're getting the Urus? :banger

Are you ordering one or off the lot? I had an orange one behind me on the hwy in Raleigh, NC. As soon as it was close it was just wow. We turned off the hwy onto a country road where he passed me and it sounded amazing.

Pictures don't do the car justice. The local dealer is near my house. The had a black one that did not show off the lines at all. I bet white or silver must look killer with all the ducts.

Given the incredible hype about the new Subaru WRX STI S209 release in the US what do you guys think about the 64K price tag? Now take into consideration there are only going to be 209 cars available. In Japan there is one example of the previous S208 model, of which there were 450 cars made, selling for 68K and of course it's illegal in the US so even if you buy it you can't bring it into the US. Collectible? If you got one would you drive it? 6-speed manual built to be a track demon so hard not to right?

Anybody see the story from a couple days ago where the TV reporter lost his mind and started jumping on some classic cars at an auction/show? He was fired on the spot via a phone call from his boss, but some damage was done.

TV station will need to pay out on that one. What the hell was the reporter thinking?

On Fox & Friends yesterday they a segment on "the best driver's cars". Included were the Lamborghini Urus and Aston Martin DBS Superleggera. Can only imagine if one the host did the same to either car.
