my uncle is like that.. he's got like an 07 vetter or so i want to say, and it's got just over 1k miles on it.. kills me to say the least..he's also building a 32 ford vikki street rod, that thing will probably never be driven...

lol especially new cars need to be driven. a new vette is just going to go down in price and will be a very long time till they start coming up in price.hell yeah i'd drive it.. imvho, cars are made to be driven, not to sit in some museum or a garage never to see the road..

Here's something you don't see everyday in traffic or anywhere for that matter.
Oldschool Skyline GTR... Was RHD of course w/ carbon fiber flares and watanabe's. Didn't have alot of time to check it out. Another guy down in Oregon also owns a silver one i've seen but it wasn't as cleanly done as this one.

It still doesn't process in my brain.. How the hell can these engines work? There are gallons and gallons of fuel being sprayed into each cylinder at a given moment.. The rotational mass is HUGE... The immense friction that has to be overcome just to get it spinning.... It just doesn't make sense... Which is why I have always wanted to visit the engine room of a ship, just to hear the thing... It shouldn't work. But with a turbo like that, I guess it has no choice lolhaha here name THIS engine
65,000 HP lol

the crankshaft in it....

as if such a big engine wasnt enough they turbo the thing and of course had to add one that matches the size of the engine

oh i think i said 65,000 HP i meant 95,000 lol.
and ya its a lot of rotating mass but if its built to scale like a car engine or anything else no reason it wont work. ive seen all the internals of this thing and not much different than a normal automotive engine, its just much much bigger. as for the turbo that thing wont help that engine get moving any faster lol. it need the engine to get itself up to speed before it gets going. heres a short vid on the engine and showing it running.
oh and ya it does use a lot of fuel lol. 250 tons of fuel a day.

Mercedes uses W-(number) the same way BMW uses E-(number) to designate model families. The W115 was the the smaller (E-equivalent) class of its day. My dad had a '69 230, his first in an unbroken line of owned M-Bs.
I broke tradition when I bought a Bim. I've never owned a Benz. I'm less likely to now that they've pretty much undone manual transmissions from their range. cn
