Racerboy, not sure if these are your thing but I was walking down the street in Shanghai and this was just parked on the sidewalk. I walked past looking at it and thought of you and decided I'd turn around and take a picture for you. If they're not your thing perhaps instead you'll enjoy my wife's ass in the upper right hand corner. :p

Got this in a E-mail this morning.
Much better than coffee.



Here's a link to a Shell commercial shown in Europe.

Ferrari pulled several of their race cars from various ages out of storage, flew them around the world and filmed them running through the streets of Rome , Rio, New York Hong Kong, Honolulu and Monaco.

No computer graphics, these are the original cars on the original streets.

The best part is the sound from the basso-profundo notes of the early, front-engine era, each scene cuts to a later generation, ending with the wail of a modern F1 car.

The sounds alone bring a tear to the eye.
Even if you're not a gearhead, this video will stir the soul. There's just something about 3 liters and 14,000 RPM!

The NSX is a wonderful car, and I love the S2000 but fuck Civics. I hate front wheel drive.
I agree, but Civics have their place. They are economy cars, just don't try to make them something they're not....

I used to have a 1990 Civic Si, I installed Tein springs, Koni yellow struts and sticky tires. It could take corners every bit as fast as my friends C6 Vette and still pull 50 miles per gallon. Had just shy of 500,000 miles on it when I sold it and still ran like a champ!
