    Top gear Veyron, Vs McLaren F1

    IMO, I don't believe for a second that the Macca could get a jump on the Veyron anywhere near that without it purposely designed that the Veyron wasn't being launched hard (which is FAR more violent then that!) It's a dramatic piece of footage to make it more dramatic and "close" than it would...

    A tour of the city

    Sure thing, here's the library link... pretty sparce, but interesting. My great grandfather, and one of his daughters were in the parade... along with the country's premier classic car collector parading some of his restored cars (He owned somewhere north of 1000 cars by the time he stopped...

    A tour of the city

    There was a little economic downturn in the late 1940's; and to combat it, Detroit put on a show every bit as big, (or bigger) than the World's Fair called the Golden Jubilee. It lasted for two weeks, new construction, shows, displays, parades... pure American Exceptionalism to get the country...

    A tour of the city

    Looks like my grandfathers old house... I think his was a little larger. He was held up at his home, the thief stole a vintage musket; and nothing else. Indian Village is another neighborhood of monstrous homes... My friend bought their house 35 years ago for about 90k, and sold it 3 years ago...

    Impressive! Well, looks can be deceiving! Those 512's really are fun to drive :) (2nd Ferrari I ever drove)

    Gran Torino - Special Features

    I just don't picture The Man With No Name behind the wheel of a FGT... or even vintage GT40. Big power muscle seems more appropriate, or perhaps something with finesse like a GT350 R code ;) GREAT movie :) Picked up the Blu Ray earlier

    GT40 at MECUM auction

    I'm not 100% sure, but it's possible we know who the 10M line of credit belonged to. That said, I never would expect him to have bid on that car... it's not his style at this time. That said, he did pick up at least one car that fills a gap in his Corvette collection quite nicely; the Dunkov...

    Idiocy - or just a Death Wish?

    From what I recall, the car actually used for the driving was a Gullwing, as the 275 bounced the film around a lot. the sound was spliced later...

    Driving Simulator

    It is crazy all the development that have brought console games to the level they are at these days. Still, a lot of junk is thrown out there for the sake of one developer or another trying to cash in on the genre's... That's why the best ones out there take so long between generational...

    Driving Simulator

    Sounds about right. For the price of "entry" and immediate entertainment value, you did the best route. Many PC sims don't even stack that great against GT5 prologue. If I weren't so busy, I might even bust out my ps3 again. It's been dormant for a while.

    Most addictive thing ever

    This is just about bridging the gap between cool sounding, and too much to make sense... A nice lower cord progression, purcussive heart-beat, and a lead line :) cool site!

    GM's Wagoner out

    Unbelivable! The man brought GM into the modern era with some of the best cars available in the world, and "they" fired him?

    Monster Garage

    PM me, and I'll be happy to arrange a time for you to come out... or any of the other GT Forum members... I can't promise a private tour, but definitely when other tours are being given. If the Rally ever comes back to Detroit, a night at the collection with beverages and all will be a welcome...
