Dayam I want one of these!   

This would be so much fun to take to any motorcycle rally, car show, or even Sturgis!  The Brembos, the CF straight exhaust, even the MotoGP-style windscreen (Dixie-cup sized!) 

Looks like an India only model?  If you find one, @Botch, I will go to Sturgis with you!

Scottsdale is nice, but nothing like @GrateEggspectations ' neighborhood.

No pic but saw another Brabus out here today. This time it was a G Wagon. Not a bad way to spend $300k if you've got it.

Truthfully, I secretly hoped this one would end up a casualty of the monster truck rally.

B-I-L just sent me this from Italy. He and his daughter got in.

The polizia sure ride in style.

That’s killer! I like the dings and chips in the paint.

They are like a Ford Taurus over there. 😁

Found this tucked away.  I am a sucker for an Aston Martin.

@Ozzie_Isaac - no way I would not have known where that was and then aired it out on a frequent basis.

Same here!  That would be a weekly driver for sure!  I was sad to see it just sitting neglected.

Hopefully, you found that in your garage?!

Posted this car before, but saw it again today.  Probably one of my favorite models of all time.  Love poorly weighted, insanely powerful, and awesome sounding american muscle.

Funny story—a friend I work with went to go look at a first year viper, 1991 and took his wife along. After they took it for a test drive the wife commented to the salesperson how rough it rode and how loud and that it didn’t feel much like a luxury car. Salesman looked right at her and said “you’re right, but it is guaranteed to put lead in his pencil”. She never batted an eyelash, just said “sold”, let’s go do paperwork.

I would look good in that!  Not getting in or out, but while actually in it!

A little understated, but nice enough, I guess. 

A neighbour’s friend is an exotic car collector and also has an SVJ.

One of a few cars I'd love to see in person just for the paint alone.

Paint or a wrap? There are some awfully good vinyl wraps available these days, and with a good install job it's hard to tell which it is from any distance.

Paint. It's called Viola Pasifae

It's hard to tell a cars paint by a picture or video but the Viola Pasifae is stunning. I couldn't imagine what it would look like in person.

Just took some good rips in B-I-L’s car approaching @lousubcap velocity.

Somehow, I can’t imagine owning a car like this and parking it as this individual has, indiscriminately sandwiching it between the likes of us plebs. 

lousubcap

That is a park and walk in from the farthest reaches of your destination ride.  Besides you get extra exercise to keep you loose for sandwiching yourself back into the car.

Okay-in which car in the stable were you allowed to enjoy the ride? Or was it dealer's choice??

Edit for the fat finger spelling fix.

@lousubcap

GT3. In our province, one can face car impounding and jail time as well as a $10K fine for any speeding in excess of 50kms/hour. Naturally, we stayed well below the limit.

lousubcap

@GrateEggspectations - Well now, I'm quite sure you penetrated the + 50km/hour deal where appropriate.  Radar/Lidar detector configured?

That level of enforcement seems to be around the standard here althougth I have never been informed of the fine. 

I'm sure it was a great experience.  Always a joy when you well exceed the legal limits and escape unscathed.  Be well my friend.

Sounds like you have encountered a lot of nice officers, Cap. 😂

All is pretty good here, and I hope the same for you and yours. 🤜 🤛

They have a similar rule here.  25mph+ is "criminal speeding" and subject to impounding and.substantial fines.

I have been pulled over in excess of that limit.  I was polite and respectful and apologetic.  I received a warning.  Funny because I had just been married and when the officer asked why I was rushing, I told him "I just got married officer, and I am kind of in a hurry to get home, because, well, you know.  Just married." He laughed and told me to be safer.
