i guess there is a porsche car show tomorrow. and he was in town just for the day, i guess they had a deal at valley for everyone that bought a porsche from them to food and wine and some other things. at least that's what one of the managers said when he stopped into tintmasters.

i think he owns martin, could be wrong.

if that is true his relationship with mercedes is probably strengthened slightly by his purchase of benz trucks

F**k me sideways. NOW I learn about the show.:(

Carrera GT meh, now if I had spotted this cruising the highways then I'd need fresh shorts.

It was predicted to set a new record as the most expensive car in the world but it only got to 6 million and didn't get past the reserve.

The Daytona Cobra Coupe didn't just race, however. At one point, a North Dakota businessman with six gas stations owned the car, and each day, he'd drive the 300-mile round trip to collect station receipts in this race-trimmed Cobra.*

Not much of a Vintage American Muscle guy (with the exception of a few Vintage Camaro's and Mustangs)....I think I'd rather own a Carrera GT front rotor over that car..... Value aside.

Really? That car has history, I mean that exact car showed Ferrari whats up, before the GT40's did it. That is the actual car that clinched the manufacturer's championship in 65, it's uber sexy and really fast, especially for something that's 44 years old.

That's one sexy porsche..
