My next car - the Koenigsegg CCXR

[BeachBaby]

1018 horsepower at 7000rpm. Runs on biofuel. Sticker price - $2,000,000.00.

Yup - I needs me a sugardaddy.

[Swede]

1. Does it come in blue?

nt

[BeachBaby]

3. But, of course.

[Pierre.Suave]

41. For 2 million

it better damn well come in whatever color you want it in.

[TZ]

2. Calling Pierre.Suave.....

:P

[BeachBaby]

5. What - is Jason a wealthy man?

I guess I should be treating him better, eh? :rofl:

[TZ]

6. Well

The only problem is I don't know if he would pay more attention to you or the car! :rofl:

[Pierre.Suave]

40. Depends

I would have to schedule time with both I think...

:rofl:

[Pierre.Suave]

39. LOL

yeah, you better be nice to me...Real nice...


:P

[AlCzervik]

4. oh it has an ipod adapter too!

if that has a manual transmission that could be my next car after i raid a hedge fund.

[BeachBaby]

8. I'm already lining up the most vulnerable banks.

;)

[AlCzervik]

9. ponzi scheme here we come!

[TZ]

10. Nice post, Madoff!!

:P

[CreekDog]

7. yeah but how is it in the snow?

:P

[BeachBaby]

11. Not my problem.

Sugardaddy is gonna move me somewhere warm - no snow. :P

[CreekDog]

47. I see, I see...

This is part of a grander vision. :D

[flvegan]

12. Yeah like that'll last two days in Jersey.

Nicked and shipped w/in 48 hours.

[BeachBaby]

13. You're raining on my fantasy.

Now stop.

[flvegan]

15. You know, even The Stig crashed that car.

Though it did cure Jeremy Clarkson of his smoking problem.

[BeachBaby]

16. I wanna see what all the hubbub is about.

I'll watch it this week, but I have no idea when it's on.

[flvegan]

21. Here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svxRpqeqFRY&feature=related

They tested it a couple times. This is a good one.

[BeachBaby]

23. That's a different car.

The one I posted is a CCXR with 1018 horsies. The one that The Stig tested was only 806.

Just sayin'.

Awesome video, though - I laughed through most of it. One helluva ride.

[flvegan]

25. The R is the one tuned to run on biofuel. Same car, though.

Nobody's tested one that I know of. I was showing you the closest thing available.

[GOPisEvil]

14. I think I'd rather have the Tesla.

Sure, I can't cruise cross country, but what a commuter car! :D

[flvegan]

17. If you haven't already seen it

6 weeks from Monday, Top Gear is testing the Tesla. It's excellent.

[GOPisEvil]

19. I haven't seen it.

I will be watching for that.

I saw Tanner Foust test one on that little show he's on and he liked it.

[SallyMander]

18. ME TOO!!!

:toast:

[TZ]

20. Do they make one

with salamanders on it?;)

[SallyMander]

22. ...

:spray:

Now that would be a study in contrasts... :rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

24. How dare you not support the American worker?!

You can have a very nice Corvette ZR1 for a mere fraction of the cost of that thing. Only 638 bhp, but 0-60 in 3.4 seconds and top speed of 205. Plus you're buying American. :P

[flvegan]

26. You know, it takes the Swedes $1.8+ million to get 4/10ths in the quarter.

USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

[GOPisEvil]

28. At least the old K had a proper Ford engine.

USA!! USA!! USA!!

[flvegan]

34. Kind of like the Detomaso Pantera, eh? Supercars have had things in common.

The Vector W2 TwinTurbo was Chevy powered. Go figure.

USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

[BeachBaby]

35. Why are you throwing McCain/Palin rallies in my thread, babe?

I've been trying to block them out of my mind for months now.

[GOPisEvil]

36. AC Cobra, Nash Healey, the list goes on!

USA! USA! USA!

[BeachBaby]

27. Hey!

What's with everybody hatin' on my fantasy tonight, huh?

Can't a girl forget reality for just one night? :P :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

29. You did well on the fantasy. Aim high!

:D

[Aristus]

33. I love your fantasy. The car, and that part about the sugardaddy. Pure fantasy...

:+ :hide:

[BeachBaby]

37. I'll tell you what, school boy.....

if your wife ever gives up on your liberal ass, we'll talk. :P

:hi: :hug:

[Aristus]

42. If my wife ever does give up on me, she'll kill me just to make sure no one else can have me.

She's a little possessive... B-)

But since it's ME she's possessive of, it's cool... O8)

:hug: back atcha!

[BeachBaby]

43. Crazy Republicans.

:hide:

You know I'm kidding. :hug:

[Aristus]

45. Of course...

True story: One night in about 2005, when things were at their Bush-tastic worst, she and I were watching "The Daily Show". Bill Clinton was the guest. Now she's no fan of Bill, but as she watched him during John Stewart's interview, ferociously intelligent, staggeringly knowledgeable, and appealingly genial, she turned to me and asked: "Have we EVER had a good Republican President?" Cause she's no fan of either of the Bushes, Reagan or Nixon, either.

I was a little surprised, but I said: "Sure! Abraham Lincoln. Teddy Roosevelt. Dwight Eisenhower."

She said: "No, I mean, since then."

I said: "Nope."

She's a very smart woman, and understands, better than most Republicans, how important intelligence and engagement are to the Presidency.

[Oeditpus Rex]

30. Figure on revvin' it to seven grand a lot, d'ya?

Lemme get my ear covers first, k? :)

[BeachBaby]

32. Aw, c'mon Oedi....

you don't want to go for a ride? I'll even getcha earplugs. :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

44. I dunno if I wanna go for a *redline* ride

I always get this vision of pistons flying through the heads and then through the hood. :scared:

[Pierre.Suave]

46. you have not lived

until you have driven a BMW M3 with the wonderful 4.0litre V8 and spun it out to 8K rpm...

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

31. And you only get all 1000+ ponies

running on biofuel. Just 800 or so are on tap with regular petrol.

Herr von Koenigsegg is one hell of a designer and engineer. Make that "artist".

[BeachBaby]

38. A masterpiece, indeed.

:hi:

[NJmaverick]

48. That is one sweet ride!

Wouldn't last a day up here in North Jersey, but it would be fun while it lasted.
