a (i think it is a 69) ORIGINAL Shelby Cobra, with the 428. Worth over 250,000$$$. Saw that at a car show along with a 71 Hemi Charger.....

If you don't believe me, this is a pic of me getting into it. A member from this board took it. If this still isn't good enough I have some taken as we are moving, a couple of me in the drivers seat, and I can even post a random picture of me from something else. I'm in class right now and they are saved on my external hard drive so I can't get to them. Ralph Lauren now owns the car but at the time a member on here owned it and was willing to give a ride to anyone who asked.

Holy crap. A ride in a McLaren would be awesome. Its the one that Ralph Lauren owns? The one pictured in this months R&T is of his (pg. 92), but its silver.

Yeah it was awesome. RL now owns like 3 or 4 Mclarens. Actually the LM that I rode in was crashed during testing after a break change a couple of weeks ago (something like that). Not too serious damage but it is in England right now getting fixed.

Yeah, I heard the Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) was driving his in bumper-to-bumper traffic, and rear-ended somone. The damage was so great, it had to be brought back to the factory for a factory rebuild.

ok. I guees your right. Its jsut hard to believe some people. I'm sick of seeing them.

"Oh, this is my McLaren. I cant type, but I own a car with European licence plates, and I live in Beverly Hills. Woah is me. I won the lottery. I live in my car. WOHOO!!!"

Its just hard.

Ralph Lauren has an Enzo too.

Sccrplyr06 · 03-19-2005, 01:17 AM

Yeah I'm sure that fool does. He doesn't deserve it tho. Tommy Hilfigure was dissapointed that his Enzo didn't have cup holders. I'm mad at people who own their cars just so that they can say that they own them. I was sick myself at seeing these people either owning, getting a ride, or just plan off seeing these cars. I was just lucky enough to get my once in a lifetime chance to get a ride, let alone a chance to see one of these cars. I am from a small country town with little chance to get one of these opportunities. I guess I am just one of the lucky ones.

1971/72/73/74? Bright Purple Dodge Demon with blower and and big shiny red nitrous oxide button inside. I was working at a car wash at the time in FL and when it came out of the wash bay it was my turn to drive the next car through the parking lot to the drying area for the cars. It was in immaculate condition with no dings or missing interior pieces. The thing just shook violently when it was idling. I think it had a real 426. So anyhow I smashed the gas and drove to the drying area. When I got out my co-workers had their eyes popped out and their mouths wide open after seeing me driving it like that. The manager did not look too happy and I thought I was going to get fired but then I looked over at the owner and he was standing there smiling. It was definatley worth it.

I sat in a Carrera today. Thats my fancy car.

95cord · 03-21-2005, 08:57 AM

i haven't been in any of those fancy cars like you guys have, but when I was 16 the local Honda motorcycle shop let me drive their Stealth twin turbo. I thought the car is so damn sweet.

Then at 17 I met a guy online that had a Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR4, and fell in love with the car. At 22 I bought a 1992 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4, and that's been my favorite car to ride in. I found out a few months before I bought the car that the Stealth is basically the same car.

Before I bought my VR4, I told everyone that I would own one within 1 year. About 11 months later I purchased one. My goal now is to purchase a Viper w/i 3-5 years.
