That is my precious. :D

It's an AC Cobra
Build year 1968
Engine Ford 427 cu

Every time that I turn the ignition key, and hear that engine roar it turns me from a 65 year old to a teenager again.

Sure. There is a deer ahead in your lane. You don't want to hit the deer, you speed up to pass the car to your left to enter the lane on your left since there are 3 cars behind the leading car. It's not uncommon that people drive at 80MPH in the left lane. Not the ideal way to deal with the situation, but it's one way I suppose. I guess you could also accelerate to avoid being rear-ended or to avoid being hit from the side when some idiot is trying to merge into your lane, yet doesn't realize that you're right next to him.

Still, better to hit the brakes. The deer may change direction.... And by doing so now you are endangering the now 4 cars behind you.

I myself accelerated to avoid having my leg crushed when a lady totaled my last E30. Then again that was also engine swapped, even if it was only 10hp more. Most cars do not accelerate quick enough, especially at highway speed to avoid something. Just use the brakes. This is why one should also not tailgate.

I get paid while randomly surfing the internet. :p

Are you on L4P by any chance?

If you're not then disregard it, but I thought the pics looked familiar, however I guess there are a lot of black GTRs out there :D

How do you like that Viper? I've seen a few for sale and was thinking about buying one.

They're fun, they're put together like crap haha! Mine was modded and put down over 800 pounds of torque to the wheels. However even stuff like the window motors started to give out at 18k miles and the rear hatch shocks gave out so the trunk lid wouldn't stay up. It wasn't just mine either, they're all kind of the same. If you want more info I'd be glad to answer questions or head over to viper alley.com or luxury4play.com

Picked up a new "Ford Explorer."

Great car, the new one just doesnt look as "masculine" as the old one does, in my opinion. Test drove one last week, feels nice I think. Its excellent they managed to shave 420kg of the weight.
I have a 2010 RR sport and a 2010 Discovery 4. HEAVY cars :D

From that pic, it looks like he's already had it off road on the rugged terrain it was built for a few times.

Does the owner of the supra live in Waunakee? I always see a green supra tearing around in the summer.
