No, 3.0 TDI with a performance tune ~ 300HP 500 lb.ft. of fun and 34mpg on the HW. I did not spring for the Burmester. If you are the type to tweak every song you listen to, I could see the advantage but who can do that and drive safely? Bose was good enough. Having that Burmester functionality at home would be nice . . .

 

74 Benz 240D with a 2JZ "No shit!?"

 

I suppose it could be a Demon; can't really tell them apart at this angle. But, the Dusters are a LOT more common, so it's probably a duster

 

It's a 73 duster with two hoods grafted together. He has a nice build thread in ForABodiesOnly.com Plenty more badass cars there too.

 

The 4 pictures below are proof not only that being a "military brat" has numerous advantages, but also that I have an AWESOME dad! These pictures were taken YEARS AGO, sometime between 2003 and 2006. My dad was still in the Navy, and he went to Japan for work. He bought a disposable camera at the NEX (Navy Exchange) and took pictures of various JDM vehicles parked on the base, just for me!

There were originally close to 2 dozen photos at one point, but I have no idea where they went. These are low quality re-downloads from Facebook, of actual photos that I scanned into the computer in 2009-2010. Even back then, more than 7 years ago, these four were all I could find. One of the lost photos included a lowered 2nd Gen RHD 2WD 4Runner (don't think it's called a 4Runner in Japan though?)!

In the first photo, however, you can see a Toyota Van/High Ace/Lite Ace next to the red car with the white top:

When this baby hits 88 miles an hour, you're gonna see some serious shit!

I was running an errand for my boss at the bank, and this pulled into the parking lot as I was leaving. When you drive a DeLorean, it's inevitable that people will want to take pictures. The owner saw me aiming my SLR out the driver's window of my Tacoma, pulled the gullwing door shut, and let me take the picture.

Unfortunately, he also told me that this baby has a 4-speed slushbox, which means it probably won't get to 88 MPH as fast Doc Brown's time machine...

God I love those old Waggys.

 

My family on my mom's side rented a house in Malibu for a week in July 2016:

I saw more $100K+ luxury vehicles and supercars in one day on the PCH than I do in Pennsylvania in a month!

I spotted this McLaren 675LT on the PCH right down the road from our rental house:

 

This was just at the place near LAX where my parents picked up the Ford Expedition EL they rented for a week!

The deposit alone to rent this orange Huracán was ten grand!

Lamborghini Huracán:


Yes, the Lambo, both Porsches, and the Aston Martin were available to rent! Sadly, they're all automatic which means people with a valid driver's license and a credit card with a limit of over $10K can rent them (people with more dollars than sense), instead of people like me who actually know how to drive a stick but will give these cars the respect they deserve regardless of whether or not they have a third pedal! Unlike me, however, the typical renter of a high-end exotic car has more dollars than sense! I on the other hand have plenty of sense, but not nearly enough dollars:

Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Targa (may be an S but not sure; Just know all Targas come are all-wheel drive "4" models):
