Cars We Drive!

Yes!!! This is brilliant. New Aston Martin hypercar (the Valhalla) will not have a nav screen. Instead it will come with a removable phone mount. You plug in your smartphone and it becomes the nav. When you remove it, it's a perfectly clean dash. Wish my car was like this.

So if we don't agree with his opinions we're objectively stupid.

Peak stupid.

No, if you can't argue a specific point and just accuse me of ****, I give up on being civil.

That steering wheel, though.

It's sex. The whole car is sex. I'd *******. I'd let it **** me.

Argue a specific point? You give your opinions the level of metaphysical certitude. When do you start to wonder if maybe it's not the rest of the world that's crazy?

I didn't "give" my opinions anything. Typical fact pattern: (1) I make a statement, (2) you question it, (3) I provide supporting rationale/facts, (4) you ignore #3 and accuse me of ****** innocents with my opinions, (5) I say ******* and call you stupid.

What's your line of work? In my experience, common sense is often right in some big stupid way but wrong in all the little ways. Hence, it's not unusual for consensus to be inaccurate. Life would be so much ******* easier if you could just hold yourself to the standard of the medium intellect, no?

Fact pattern:

1) Foo renders objective truth
2) A common mortal comes along and doesn't agree this is distilled truth.
3) Foo rants for 249 pages
4) Green Hermes breast wallet becomes at StyFo touchstone.

What’s the last great NA, manual, RWD V12 car built? I think the last two offered for sale were the Ferrari 599 and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage, but i find both of them to be meh.

 

[patrickBOOTH]

Lamborghini Diablo.

Was there a special edition Lambo that qualifies?

Not surprising these cars don't carry much legacy. V12s are heavy. Resulting cars not likely to be balanced.

 

[patrickBOOTH]

The SV was rear wheel drive.

Lamborghini Diablo.

Murcielago had V12 and stick. AWD though.

 

[HRoi]

Lamborghini Diablo.

You know, that’s a fantastic answer. I was thinking that all of them were AWD, but you made me look it up and the non-VT’s are RWD.

The latest conversation made me think - all this hybrid self driving nonsense makes me want to hoard all the best cars...and wouldn’t it be great to own PEAK V12? My guess is that the answer is going to be something out of financial reach, though ?

It's crazy these Diablos are going for over $300k. More than when they were new.
