Talking about more car than driver, she already was straight off, I get her back from Switzer Performance soon after they have installed their P800 PKG Package giving her @800BHP.

Hi Ron, what color is that anyway? Is that Racing Blue Mica, or something different?

Speed kills! And it looks like it did here.

Turbo or Turbo S.
It appears as if he slid into a utility pole at (obviously) a high rate of speed as the elevated base of the pole is just below where his lap and head would be. The rear fin is in the UP position - the fin rises automatically at 78 MPH. Note the passenger side of the car is essentially intact. Likely the police clipped off the top of the car to get to him out or the impact destroyed it. You can see the driver's seat is in the passenger/ back seat area. Judging by how the pole carved its way into the car, he probably hit at a very, very high speed. Game over or, at best, severe head injuries.

Boy... you've got to be so careful in these cars.

T-Boned.

Anyone know where that is ? I'm assuming it's the middle east, but the emergency vehicles aren't from Dubai and that's the only place I have experience.

In my time over there, young locals killing themselves in high powered sports cars was unfortunately a regular event.

The CLK63 AMG Black has @500 horses, all of them liking to go sideways. Awesome car, brutal power delivery.

Okay, I'll bite. Here's a couple of my rides as both instructor and racer. The Suzuki GSX-R1000 was by far, the coolest, most invigorating ride I've ever thrown a leg over. Imagine, 180+mph down a straight and then slowing to 120mph and dragging a knee and boot through a wide sweeper, yeah, hard to put into words.

The fellow in the red Rocket leathers is doing a good job of showing what I looked like at Infineon, in the rain, a few years ago.

Yikes, sorry to hear that. I totaled a CB900FSS in the rain up at Westwood raceway in Canada before it went residential. Here's a couple of rain shots;

Lamborghini Jalpa JLA12 382 out of 420. The car has been undergoing a restoration for the past few years and is almost complete (my mech has been working on the car in his spare time, hence the reason it took so long). The paint has to be buffed and checked, the stereo has to be replaced and the carbs tuned and maybe rebuilt.

Here are a few teaser pictures from my mech. The front grill is dirty from a test drive and a quick rain shower.

I am looking forward to getting this car back as I have not seen it for almost three years.

There is so many things wrong with this post I really don't know where to start...











I think I got my point across

My old rides when I used to work out of town and need the 4x4 (05 & 09 LE's)



Titans by CaLv1n1, on Flickr

After I started working in town I switched up. I was originally looking at a Nissan GTR but I found I couldn't go back to a car after driving trucks for the last 8-10 years so I ended up going for luxury instead of speed and picked up the fully loaded QX56. ( My assistant a work picked up a new Audi S5 this year and if I was a car guy I think I'd take a pretty hard look at one of those it was pretty fun for the quick spin I did take it on).

At the dealership when I first saw it and was really impressed with the unit.

After the dealership I took a couple quick pics at my guys shop where he was applying the 3M

I'm so impressed with the Infiniti I'm going to trade my wifes Lexus rx400h for the new JX35 this year.

Cheers

Yes we do use solid fuel just a whole lot more than the estes

And this rocket is a replica of a 1950s first surface to surface battlefield nuclear weapon. The warhead goes in the large nose cone
24 feet tall.

Exactly, and my Tonkanese thinks he is a dog. I walk him on a leash. We go hiking above my house, in open space. He greets several of the neighbor's dog by going nose to nose. He watches animal planet, Speed channel and football with me.
