Love love love the targa.

The F8 is on my list for sure. What a beauty.

The GT3. Oh my.

And the Beamer. My gosh it looks good.

Congrats guys. Drive em in good health.

I’m prepping to take the R8 to Florida for the winter. Can’t wait for a good road trip.

Thank you! Make sure you update the thread with some R8 road trip to FL pictures! I’ll be thinking of you during the cold weather in England!

Well done! Big congrats!

Honda does a nice job in that category. I've been in the automotive business for a long time, and we make quite a few parts for the Ridgeline. Most other unibody pickups are chasing the low end of the market.

Given your car collection, at a minimum a comment like that should get you banned from this thread, if not TRF in its entirety!

Thank you. That's quite a statement.

Go stomp down on the 392 and you will better understand why.

I am also on the shorter side so if you are a bit taller I think you’d love an 812.

The engine dominates the driving experience of the front engine V12’s and if you haven’t experienced it you should at least drive one. In the F8 the engine is great but I feel like everything else about the car is even better than the engine. In the FE V12’s the engine is freakin magic.

I haven't driven an F12 but I have driven an 812. The 812 is very easy to drive, it really feels like a normal car until you put your foot into it. You could easily daily it. My passenger had driven both the 812 and F12 and commented how much calmer and less twitchy the 812 is. As far as height goes, I'm 6'1" and had no problem finding a comfortable seating position.

If I had the means I'd buy an 812 in a heartbeat.

Back to my poor guy car (just kidding), we did a quick photo shoot w/ my C8 (and my favorite co-pilot)

Unframed…..beautiful C8! Such a great looking car

Ugh people suck.

Been staying overnight at the hospital with my newborn son (hasn’t been released to come home as he’s not eating enough on his own yet). Came out of the hospital yesterday morning and some jerk off hit and ran on my truck. Hospital has no cameras in the parking garage so I’m on my own. Truck has less than 8k miles and now on top of trying to take care of my son I have to deal with insurance and a body shop.

I hope there’s a special circle of hell for people like this to burn in.

Man, I hate that. I’ve had that happen twice….in my office parking lot(both times). The second time a dude in an F250 raked the entire left side of my Dinan F80 - that was $6500 in damage. At least he was honest enough to leave a note. 1st time, not so lucky.

Hope your baby is okay. That’s the most precious thing.

The car issue will get resolved. I’m sorry you’re having to go through this.

So wrong, especially now. Sorry you are dealing with all of that.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

My ten year old Grand Cherokee SRT. It's days are limited however, since I have a '24 Mustang GT convertible on order

I have shared this car before. This one turns 33 years old in April.

Love the E39. Such a great car and whenever I see one, I want one. Beauty!

Wow, that is something special…I remember these vividly as a close friend of mine had one from new and we did loads of road trips with it.
