Whaaaaat. Lucky!
Did you know in a hotel in Vegas, there's an Italian Casino/Hotel where there's a Ferrari dealership right in the middle of the casino? So whenever somebody buys a Ferrari, in order to get it out of the dealership they have to go through the casino. I think that's pretty cool.

I've been thinking now that instead of my charger, I'll get one of the nice new sporty Nissan's or Subaru's or something. Haven't looked into which model or type yet, but I certainly like the looks of the ones I've seen around.
The dodge Viper is one of my favourites too, and you don't see many of those.
Probably because they're insanely fast.

Nice choice! I've never seen a Viper, but I've definitely heard of it. I might be able to recognize it if I saw one, I dunno. My dad literally can't stand Nissan sports cars, he really can't. Stand. Them. Its rather funny when he rants about them, actually. I like some of the designs that I've seen, but I've never looked into the models of the Nissan sports cars. Or, maybe they were Subaru... I can't really remember. Don't they look similar? I might be wrong, but... my knowledge on Subaru 's and Nissan 's is very limited

Here's the explicit details about the vehicles, since I didn't mention them:

Porsche:
911 Carrera 4S
+ black package

BMW:
328is
+ S wheels
black exterior + interior

Very nice vehicles, though the Porsche is a garage queen :T

That is so cool! If I ever have enough money to get a Ferrari, I'm definitely going there x3 I'm such a nerd, and of course people think it's weird that I love cars. ( my church thinks it's too masculine oops )

I guess people associate car people with a guy thing. It's nice when you're a couple and like cars together though!! My boyfriend and I constantly poop on cars we see that like, are 2004 Honda Civics that the person tried to like, deck out. Like they put a loud muffler on it, maybe a higher spoiler, and it's like... why.... it doesn't even go very fast...
He also has a Dodge Challenger though, which I get to drive sometimes. It's a 2010 5 L Engine Hemi... 300 or so horsepower.. very fast car.

I've been in both a Subaru and a Nissan sports car. Nissan was not my favourite, it's not truly really a "sports" car, just kind of a really decked out regular coupe car. But it does go pretty fast. Same with the Subaru, except it's a little bit more sporty. They definitely both go fairly fast though.

Also, this is the Dodge Viper;

It's nice to have a spouse who you can vent all your "weird" interests to. I'm single, so I just rave all about cars to my best friend or my closest guy friend. x3 I always get them really annoyed, and it's very funny.

Oh my gosh, I really can't stand it when older, slower cars are given a large spoiler. What's the point of the extra downforce if you're not even going to be going very fast in the first place?

Nice! How was it to drive?

The Viper looks like a Lotus crossed with a Ferrari F12?

[Keletheryl]

I wouldn't exactly say he's my spouse, but he's my SO haha.
Beside the point..

Yeah, people who try to "upgrade" honda civics make me wanna gag. I personally know people who've done it and I try to be polite but I just.. why.. I will never understand.
Spend the money you're using to upgrade a slow car and instead buy a fast one that already has all the upgrades! Unless it's like their hobby or something

That being said, I have seen some really nice Honda Civics (like brand new ones) that were so upgraded they were pretty much unrecognizable. They probably switched out the entire engine too. But in that case, is it even a Honda anymore? It might have the decal, but if you change a car that much it's more like your own little car concoction now, haha.

Btw that car you linked looks scary fast. And with that many horsepower, probably is. Tbh I'd probably be scared to drive it cause all I'd have to do is probably tap the pedal and i'd go flying forwards haha. I'm good with 300 HP.
I haven't gone super fast in the Challenger yet but obviously have been on the passenger seat while my bf took it up to 200. It's nice to use it to get around slow people quickly, I guess.

He does drifting, but something in his car is off-balance so he can't drift properly right now, I can't wait for him to get it fixed because drifting is really fun. I can't do it in my car (I have a mustang if you didn't already see) unless it's wet/rainy outside. Which is fun when it is.

Just don't drift if you don't know how because it's pretty dangerous lol

And yeah, the Viper totally does look like a cross of the lotus and ferrari I didn't even notice until you pointed it out.
I'd love to own a Viper, 650 HP is probably the highest I'd go, so Viper is perfect.
It's like $90,000 Canadian though, so... that's a dream that'll probably never come true unless I win the lottery.

Exactly the point! You shouldn't be spending money on upgrades for a bad car, since it's not exactly "classy". x3 Of course, there is always the people who take old cars, upgrade them with large, funky engines, and race them on the drag strip. I've watched some drag-racing shows, it's actually quite interesting.

I'd be very careful if I were to drive one. I'd need to drive it on an empty airport runway to avoid crashing it. Actually, the Koenigsegg Regera, which is a hybrid from the same company as the One: 1, has 1500 horsepower. Crazy fast: it has a top speed of 250 mph.

My parents were recently driving in the rain, and I got a glimpse of just how scary driving fast in the rain is. There was a large truck that had it's cargo over the guard rail on the side of the road. Then there was four cars who got caught in an accident. And of course there was the minivan that spun off the road.

Same here, except with a McLaren. It has 666 horsepower, apparently? It's such an exotic looking car though, good for Sunday drives around town.

ahhhhh! Carreras are amazing! My favorite cars

[venus.]

ahhhhh! Carreras are amazing! My favorite cars

Carrera's are my favorite out of the Porsche lineup, besides the turbo
but turbo's don't come with manual transmissionnnnnnnnnnnnnn....

ahh! Yes! that's exactly what I was thinking oml. I love carreras, but I can't afford to switch interior lol. Interior matters to me. It HAS to be black leather. I don't know why, it's just how I like cars to be.

[venus.]

same here. the interior makes the car. i'm not going to buy a car if the interior is not leather and is not black. which is why I won't be buying a Rezvani anytime soon. the interior is pure carbon fiber, so it's not exactly your road-trip vehicle
