Saw this today, not my cup of tea, but definitely stands out.  I struggle to identify Ferrari models.

With that wrap it deserves to be a Fiero. It looks to be a 458 otherwise. 

The 4 cylinder Fiero.

Saw this Ranchero today also.  I made his day, big thumbs up. His wife was following him in her broght yellow modern SRT8 Charger Superbee.  She honked and waved too.  They both enjoyed reving the engines.  I enjoyed listening.

It looks better in pictures than in person.

I can appreciate that wrap as I know it pisses off Ferrari. North America Ferrari sent a cease and desist order on this Ferrari wrap.

Deadmau5 's Purrari!  That one is cool and funny.  My son was telling me about that when I showed him the galaxy Ferrari pictures.

This is a cropped photo I took of myself.  But if my photos are violating a rule I'll stick to egg and food related posts.

You’re not violating any rule - that I know of, at least. Great shots. Do you racel, or is this a track day? How long have you been shooting?

Sorry didn't see this.  I've been shooting almost 30 years.  Dad was a wedding photographer so I got to carry everything.   Love the Hayabusa it has spray and air shift.  Used to race.  I do have on under armor gear and Kevlar jeans on.  This was on the street.  Raced on tracks.  When you are the sponcor it doesn't last long.   Thanks.

I’m getting old. Every time I read it’s electric, I hear Boogie Woogie in my head.

Not sure I would want a car styled after an international nuclear disaster, but if I did… it would be that one!

McLaren has always been known for their terrible fit and finish but how is this even acceptable? McLaren would be a hard pass if I was spending that kind of money. Great looking cars....from 10 feet away.

Couldn’t get the phone out…but it’s a BRIGHT green McLaren. But for the really high end, I went to a supplier event this week and saw the new SLS being stacked and readied for flight. Doesn’t get more exotic than this one.  The VAB where they assemble these rockets has to be seen to be believed.

You got that right @Wolfpack!  Walked across that parking lot for many years.

Saturn rocket was displayed between that parking lot and the road to the pad, until it was moved to the visitor center north of the VAB.  

The last rocket I was involved with:



Sections being delivered to VAB.

That was a fun project.

I disliked your post.  I appreciate sharing, but that is hideous.  This is the exception to the rule that proves the adage "To each their own"

All I can offer is that this thread is still here and that is a great thing.   As a bonus-void of the random white space.  Happy Friday-

Here is a pallet cleanser.

Pretty rare for MI with salt still all on the roads.  Today will be the day though.  Supposed to hit mid 60s today.  Snow early next week.

So kind of a funny story about the above Mercedes, which has not in fact been rolled (thanks Vanilla!). This past summer, I posted a few shots of a house that I just happened upon on a bike ride that enjoyed a different complement of stunning super cars in the driveway each time I ventured by. Sample below. 

By sheer luck, I was at my neighbour’s house when I met the man who owns many of these cars. We got talking cars and made the connection when I mentioned having passed by the above house. Among his collection of machines is a Ford GT, Ferrari LaFerrari, and Lambo SVJ. He buys them as investments. He said he’d bring them some around this summer, so hopefully I’ll have some shots to share up close. We went out for a bit and I drove his above Mercedes SUV home - I hated the drive of the car as much as he did! It really is a small world!

Making the inroads right there.  Way to seize the window of opportunity.  Now to get behind the wheel of the investment rides.
