It's impossible to argue with Raza. He wins. Period. End of discussion.

I find it interesting that he has 6 Ford GT chassis sitting around.  Wonder how/where he got them.

Why do we need a Car Chat thread?  Isn't that what the other 12836 threads in the different categories are for?

California firm awaits orders to build $1M car



Looks like somebody melded a Ford GT with the Shelby GR-1 concept that they put out about 10 years ago.

This is for just random junk, instead of filling the off-topic chat thread up with car stuff..

I rolled 190,000 miles in the subie this week. :rockon:

Had a couple minutes before dinner last night, saw (and wanted) a Ford Flex Limited, silver with quadruple sunroof, fridge, dual DVD, leather, parking sensors, 109k miles.
$14,900 was the asking price...

Top is my car

The bottom wheels are also an inch wider, I think.
