Welcome to the IHoP

I doubt you'll need to go that far though as I think our bug potential is WAY higher.

*by think I mean KNOW

probably, bugs aren't too much of an issue around here until the lovebugs come out, then all hell breaks loose

normally I just pre rinse like Aaron does, but I went ahead and tried the dish soap on top of that followed by a wash/wax combo (because I'm feeling really fucking lazy today :lazy: ); works beautifully on the buggies, and boy does she shine good, even considering it is 10 year old paint

I am scared of using dish soap due to any bit of abrasiveness.

500x_cop_handicapped_parking.jpg

An anonymous tipster snapped this Virginia Beach police cruiser blocking both handicapped spaces at an IHOP while the officer chatted up the staff for over an hour. He didn't even eat. This is why people think some cops are asshats.

Wow, that was very close actually.

When I drove up to Idaho for the weekend, I saw an Audi R8 pulled over in the road. Damn that's a sweet car.

Two of my all time favorite cars. If I was King Midas or something and had crazy loot but only owned these two cars, I would drive the F1 on the weekends and the Veryon during the week. You know, in case it rained on the way to work, need that AWD. :tehe:

I'd like to play with a Veyron for maybe a weekend or so then go back to a real car :shrug:

$30,000 for a tire set you change every 2,500 miles, $50,000+ every 10,000 miles to change the wheels AND tires, and an annual servicing causing $20,000 is just loopy, rich bitch or not

Sounds like a bargain for all the thrills and excitement you can have.

For bleeding edge speed and tech, it's actually kinda cheep.

Shelby SuperCars (SSC) released today the details of its revolutionary All-Electric Scalable Powertrain, the AESP. SSC will incorporate its AESP into thecurrent Ultimate Aero to create the Ultimate Aero EV. Being the "World's Fastest Production Car," SSC decided the Ultimate Aero to be the perfect high visibility outlet to demonstrate the capabilities of its new Green powertrain. Directly following the debut of the Ultimate Aero EV, SSC will conduct a live media event to showcase the capabilities of its revolutionary Green powertrain.

SSC will display its AESP in the Ultimate Aero EV in order to prove that electric-powered vehicles will not only match but also provide more linear power (electric motors have 100% torque at 0 RPM) and overall performance than internal combustion cars. The Ultimate Aero EV utilizes a twin motor AESP producing an astounding 1,000 HP and 800 lb-ft of torque enabling it to rocket to 60 mph in a mere 2.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 208 mph. Not only does the Ultimate Aero EV have a range of 150-200 miles on a single charge, but SSC's "Charge on the RunTM" onboard charging system allows for full battery recharges in as little as 10 minutes. SSC's 3-speed automatic transmission transfers the Ultimate Aero EV's power to its wheels and achieves electronically controlled shift times of .24 s. The entire AESP is liquid cooled allowing it to run for extended periods of time at peak performance with no overheating issues.

SSC's Green division, SSC Green, Inc., will provide packaged solutions of its AESP to a wide variety of applications ranging from 200 horsepower for economy and midsize cars, to 500 horsepower for light trucks and SUVs, and up to 1,200 horsepower for delivery trucks, heavy-duty equipment, buses and military vehicles.

SSC expects to roll out its first full-scale, pre-production Ultimate Aero EV in second quarter 2009. Ultimate Aero EV deliveries will start as early as fourth quarter 2009. SSC will pursue the title of "World's Fastest Production Electric Car" and conduct a marketing campaign consisting of international motor shows, magazine articles, TV appearances and live media events. Most importantly, SSC will conduct a live media event at one of America's superspeedways to prove its claims. During this event SSC Founder and Lead Designer, Jerod Shelby, and notable guests will drive laps at high speed pitting only to demonstrate the quick recharge times.

That bad boy just needs a flux capacitor and it's golden.

Maybe some dilithium crystals too.

If they got rid of the ricer graphics package it would look a LOT better:

No polish?
