I’ve started to fall in love with Aston Martins again

Looking very European.
Isn’t that the co.cept
Looks like a Jag and and an Aston Martin had a handsome baby
Yeh but didnt they say that nearly all of the design will make it onto the production model??
Yes
The front looks huge, are they adding more rotors or the one from the lemans car? hahaha.
I had an 04’ RX8, for the short time of owning it, it was a fun and nice car:
Enjoy it before it dies.
I want the new nsx.
I dgaf that it a gay ass automatic.
Idgaf that it’s lectric steering and breaking
Idgaf that it weighs 3800 pounds.
Idgaf that I’d have to be an electrical engineer to fix it
It’s pretty and I want it. More than a Porsche, and maybe as much as z07
It is a beautful machine. I think out of the new cars, there are really two that I really want extremely bad.
Ferrari F12
Brabus 600 AMG GT-s Coupe.
Those two cars have me obsessing over them. I really can’t explain the definitive thing that makes me want them, but I know those two cars are officially on my dream car list.
Anyone watch Top Gear? I was wondering what were folk’s favorite moments in the show. I’d have to say that my two favorite moments would have to be:
-
The Stig “revealed” as Michael Schumacher and drove the Ferrari FXX.

The hot hatch challenge when they got to do laps in Monte Carlo (Monaco GP)

Alright, finally got my ride back. Chrysler replaced the old 5.7 with 212K with a new one. Literally grabbed the keys and left. No money out of pocket. I guess the chance to own something faster will have to wait. . . . . for now.
Speaking of Chrysler products, I finally fixed my srt4=.
Had to pay aamco to do it,
I’m definetly going to have to rebuild the transmission if I want more power.
Due to the awesome December weather: This was last week:
Blue one on the end mine.
Then next day it was warm enough to do this: (blue one also mine)
Thats saying something because I previously took insurance off the S2K. Due to the forecast I added it back.
Spent couple of hours waxing my car, Houston rain washed riiiight off. sigh I guess I should look into getting a 22ple glass coating or something.
You have a s2k and an evo? Thats wicked.
I love the Zs. Trying to get my dad to get a 240z project car when he retires.
Hmmmm, SRK suddenly stopped liking my images from photobucket but here’s a try:

Well if it doesn’t show up it’s just a shot of my shifter console plate installed with the “4+3” badge but a six speed pattern on the shifter. I’ve moved the battery from its stock location to behind the passenger seat in the storage well. Wanted to move some weight closer to the rear tires and the battery ended up dropping about three inches closer to the ground. Best benefit is the ability to internalize the power source while adding a keyed quick disconnect switch. With the battery in the storage well and locked under the cargo door, no thief will suspect the battery is there. Even if they do get lucky and bust the cargo door open, they’ll have to have a specific key to insert into the disconnect to turn the power on. And lastly, even if someone succeeded in turning on the power, they would also have to find the hidden switch to energize the fuel pump relay. Just a C4 Corvette, but I’ve spent quite a bit of money on it, so doing what I can for extra theft protection.
I also found an old Delco radio out of a junkyard Buick for $17 and added an MP3 ability to it. Lots of internet searching to find out what wires of the many tiny wires inside the unit to splice into and solder together. Someone sent me four Corvette specific Delco Bose speakers years ago. The biggest challenged seemed to be getting the speakers to turn on and off at the push of the power button. They would not originally, I had to plug in the amp relay to turn the speakers on and unplug it to kill them. Obviously, that’s inconvenient. Well the junkyard unit is not intended to work with Bose speakers. I know I’ll use this stereo for my MP3 player primarily, so I sacrificed the power wire running off the unit intended for the antenna and instead that power wire energizes the amp relay, which turns the speakers on. I was used to the old non Bose speakers which were not supported by amps. I always found myself disappointed in cruising at even 45 mph with the top off and the stereo maxed out and I could barely hear it over wind noise. I had no idea the difference between these two options…can’t believe one wouldn’t pay the premium back in the day for the Bose system.
These things have amps inside each speaker box and for me these things are LOUD! The old nickname for them is “Blose” but I don’t understand that because they’re loud as fuck. I can’t even turn the volume up to max without cringing, and the hatch glass rattles terribly from the bass turned all the way up not to mention it acts like a giant megaphone for the two speakers back there. These things are great! I’m guessing they get a bad reputation due to the finicky electronics in the amps. Once they go south in one unit, such as leaking fluid out capacitors, the fluid corrodes the amp circuit boards. The other three shut down to protect from surges, or are not far behind…that’s my guess anyway. I’m having issues with noise coming through all the speakers and there’s a loud pop through them when I turn the unit off. For what it’s worth Delco Bose sound systems supposedly have a specific unit designed to work with them. Going to work on the few problems but overall, not bad for a $17 junkyard Delco unit that would’ve just rotted away.
