    While driving back from the dentist this morning I got passed by a Tesla with the personalized plate, "Chk Eng".  Brilliant!

    I saw a bumper sticker this morning on a Chevy Volt that said, "Saving gas money to buy more guns." Haha! I never thought I'd see that on a Chevy Volt!

    @DMW - had to circle back to see the poster as I was focused on the ride.  Great that you surfaced here.  Sweet ride.  Just air that rig out at least once a week.  That power plant needs it.

    Not a fan of the spoiler on these.  It looks tacked on.

    You should see all the front scoops and vents.  Beauty is in function on these.

    True. Have a friend with one of these and the look is a little ridiculous, but as Ozzie points out, it’s all about function.

    For the function you need to push the performance.  I seriously doubt very few owners will get remotely close to the limits these rides offer.

    Absolutely true. Most buyers buy for specs on paper, not real world capability in the day to day. Truth be told, the delta between a Civic and a GT3RS on the average outing is minimal at best. Probably money better spent on good bourbon. 😎

    My daily is a Volkswagen Atlas.  I occasionally drive my wife’s daily.  The chasm between the two is substantial.  Performance between the two isn’t even in the same universe and the drive of the Cayenne is such a joy with absolutely precise steering, no body roll, and linear breaking, plus the sound.  I would give up bourbon for life for a GT3RS.  I cannot even fathom what that must feel like to drive.

    curious to know Ferrari's other revenue streams..I know they get a chunk from F1 but I'm not certain they are getting north of 5 Million a sale..

    Market capitalization for a company is not the same as annual revenue.
