    Sorry for the crap picture. 

    Anyone know what this is? 


    Looks like a Mclaren 720s. 

    Saulki2007 nailed it. McLaren 675LT. Rare sighting. Especially that model. 
    @saluki2007 had right make, but wrong model.  It is not a 720s it is a 675LT.  The rear bumper and side fairings are 675LT, exhaust is similar between both models.
    If the picture had more of a side view that would be the deciding factor. Hard to tell if it has the scoops behind the doors. 
    The mid-exhaust is 720s and 675LT.  These little fender vents are only on 675LT that I am aware of.



    720S is smooth


    Not that this is really an important skill, just a fun game to play.
    You are correct.  I could not see those looking on my phone.  Now that you have pointed them out and I'm on my laptop I see that.  Good eye.

    Saw this today.  No idea on year or anything.  Pretty sure it is a Dodge though.  Super clean and cool looking.  Sounded as good as it looked too.

    Did dodge ever make a competitor to the el camino or ranchero?  Or is that just cut down?

    Bench seats, stick shifts, and a girlfriend are what I miss.

    And just like @The_Buffalo comes in with a mic drop.  Nicely done, and great taste.

    Just think, @ozzie_isaac, you probably could have picked up this bad boy (and maybe even a used Mercedes to boot) with the money on your project. Same to you, @SamIAm2. 😂😂

    As beautiful as that car is, it’s the gorgeous pavement that steals the show for me. Haven’t seen roads devoid of snow in some time now.

    Sadly, that thought has run across my mind, but not quite 720s money, thankfully, well at least until the wife starts buying all the patio furniture and decorations.

    Hey, @The_Buffalo, which one are you picking up in anticipation of the BGE Egghead Forum giveaway? My vote is for the Murcielago or El Camino for obvious reasons, though I think the El Camino is really the best match.

    @GrateEggspectations - More likely a used B210 Datsun with my money.

    If you put a picture on the banner, you can write it off.
    I like where you’re going with this!

    Need some help guys. Dad sent me this picture of a Ford GT (must be a woman driver, look at that park job). Pretty sure it’s a kit car but can’t find anything on the webz about it. Look at the Ferrari like badge. Can’t tell if it’s a moose or an elk.

    Nope, that is real.  First Gen Ford GT (2005-2006).  It was an homage to the 60s era Ford GT40.  That Livery mimics the original Ford GT prototype Ford built while designing this particular generation.

    Thanks. Any insight on the badge?  Maybe car club?

    I do not know, it looks like the badge on Carol Shelby's Workhorse 1, which was one of the prototypes used for the Ford GT.

    That might be a better parking job than you appreciate.   Imagine that passenger door being opened.  Given how low the car sits, a closer to the curb parking job might result in difficulty swinging the door open given the curb.

    He's probably just handing off some wagyu he's got stored in the trunk.
