Beautiful photo all around. Mucho HP on that asphalt. Will you mod the Maserati heavily, as you’ve done with her sister?

That basketball net is inducing my anxiety…..

I don't think I'll touch the Maserati. There's just too much money to lose when you start tinkering ... I "might" replace the exhaust one day with a Callisto ... but ... for now, she is to remain original.  It actually has more HP than the TTRS Stage 2+ ... TTRS is 605 hp while the MC20 is 630 hp.  MC20 is a tad faster too. 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9s for TTRS, and 2.77s for the MC20.  It really doesn't need anything more.

Sorry about the basketball net, hahaha!

@Mark_B_Good - stunning photo.  I now recall you were going down the MC-20 road.  What a ride.  Unique colour (nod).  Maximize it and take it to the Montreal GP.  

Problem is trunk space ... I can take 1 pair of underwear and maybe a jacket. LOL.

That's pretty sweet! Honda reliability. 

DoubleEgger

That’s painful to see.

@Mark_B_Good Sweet rides!!!! Trunk space is certainly not a necessity. You just have new stuff delivered wherever you stay over😉

She's finally home!!
 

I've wondered why they would not let one use vinyl stickers with for the front plate number..almost boatish..

she's a beaut clark

Arizona is nice, no front plates required.  If you register in Montana I believe you can get a front plate exemption too for cars not designed for front plates.

@Mark_B_Good that MC-20 is a thing of dreams!  Maserati does build beautiful cars!

lousubcap

I have read that there is a rig that enables the front plate to be mounted and then flipped under the front bumper/appendage.  No away I would put the pate upfront-of course I'm not explaining that after getting hauled in at 150-200 mph (240-320 kph).
But I'm sure @Mark_B_Good will occasionally drive it live he stole it-as it should be! What a machine!

You might be excited, or not excited, but 150 cars will begin in my hometown and race 2900 miles.  If you're not near my nometown, click on the link, it will show the course.  Might come through a place you may be near.         https://visitowensboro.com/2024/04/owensboro-kentucky-to-host-2024-great-race-start/?oti=130&otx=614,619?utm_medium=enews&utm_source=kentuckytourism&utm_campaign=fy24_enews&utm_term=June&utm_content=spotlight_3

If that isn’t exotic, words have no meaning.

Part car, part load of baseboard trim.

I unfortunately wasn't able to get a pic but I saw a Steratto while driving this afternoon. It was much better looking in person than I imagined.

Pics or it didn’t happen!

Looks like a good, rugged alternative to @Ozzie_Isaac’s Jeep when it comes due.

I knew I was going to miss the shot when I saw it. I was tempted to do a u-turn and get one but I didn't think I'd be able to catch it. I don't see Lamborghini's very often around here. I never imagined I'd see a Steratto.

I should post a pic of my car in my driveway. Seeing as I got it back from the service center for the first time in 9 days today. I also had to stop before I left and ask why: my AC was completely off, and I couldn’t turn it on. It took about an hour for them to say there was a loose connection and to tighten it.

I missed the Lambo pic earlier, I wasn't going to let this incredibly rare Ferrari Matrix get away!

The silver one is about to be delivered to my friend/neighbour. My B-I-L’s neighbour (other side of the city) is taking possession of the white one. Sheer coincidence.

 I think that will be the standard answer to a battery car repair question.

This photos made my night.  I am putting the internet away now.  Nothing will be better.

Not exotic but a Shelby F150 with 775hp is beast.

A Ford dealer down the road sells these sleeper F-150's.

Fish would have that thing flipped in a ditch a 1/2 mile from the dealership.

That is awesome! 3.0L supercharger, wonder if that is in their 2.7L or 3.5L V6?  Maybe on the 5.0L V8?

Came across this today - can’t speak to its accuracy but it seemed worth sharing:

Mark_B_Good

That's cool, wonder what his Cobra is worth nowadays?
