    Tell us what you liked about it.

    Got the pleasure of toting my buddy around today. He’s got Parkinson’s, blood cancer, and old back injuries. He’s a mess but a hoot to hang out with. If you’re with him, you’re probably driving him around in his car and he’s telling you to stomp on the gas the whole time.

    Want to outrun a corvette? This is a pretty good way to do it. I can’t imagine maintenance or service costs but if you can afford this thing I suppose you can afford the maintenance too. $110K MSRP. :eek2:

    I’ve been inside a Bentley and a couple Ferrari’s and ridden in an 03 Corvette Z06 at 145mph, but this GLE was smooth, fast, quiet and in my opinion a really well rounded vehicle.

    2007 BMW M5 5.0 V10 ... with just an ECU tune for 93 octane and to remove the top speed limiter ... top speed of 204mph which is not a lie. Late at night and a straight highway .. wow (and also knowing where MSP sits)

    My 1996 Camaro Z28 6 speed is a close second. Purely because in the Camaro you could downshift at 80mph and spin the tires. Oh that was a fun car for so many reasons (and most of them while parked).

    But does it fit 3 set's of golf clubs plus the 2 extra blokes and still do 204 mph? Probably ... except for the golf clubs :)

    Bikes should count.

    Had a spin on a Panigale V4r on a track. 1000cc and 230+hp. I've raced liter bikes a few years back but the V4r is friggin insane, completely mind bending acceleration, makes the track really small.

    Yeah those mid to late 90's RX-7's still go for good money. Never had the chance to pick one up unfortunately.

    An 87 Honda interceptor 750. Scared the shit out of me. Was doing 120 in 3rd gear in what seemed like 5 seconds. Rode it back to owner and said no thanks. Got back on my xt 500 and went home. Never rode a crotch rocket again.

    67 Camaro SS convertible manual trans restored to show quality with a built engine. It was beautiful. Absolutely perfect.

    Me and my best friend were 16 and our neighbor had this Camaro. We always stopped by his garage to drool over it. We knew him fairly well. Well one day he told us we could drive it anytime we want. Us being blinded by excitement, of course took him up on the offer. The next Friday night we went over there and he told us to take it out however long we want. We went out and picked up a few girls, cruised around, got alot of attention. This thing hauled ass and did some good burn outs. Had a great time. I'll never forget it.

    About a week later our parents found out we drove that thing around for the night, and they nearly came unglued. Told us to never drive it again. It wasnt till I was older I realized why. To this day i still dont know why this guy would let 2 brand new drivers take such a rare, expensive car like that out for the night. Insurance fraud maybe hoping we wrecked? I wouldn't even loan a beater car to my 16 year old self.

    My wife drove an Audi R8 V10 once.

    And I've ridden in a Class 1 off road car.

    My buddies dd is an s63 amg and I outran him in his Ferrari for a good bit before he started getting into the top end. When I say outran, that AMG smoked the Ferrari off the line. They are both quick cars and fun to drive. He also has a Bentley which drives nice but isnt too quick. He has a hellcat wide body that is really quick and tons of power that would probably smoke the AMG but we may never know as he has his eyes on a hellcat redeye which is pushing 800hp. I hope to buy his AMG whenever he get sick of it, they lose value quick for the first few years and I can realistically get in it for under 15k in another year or so, that would be cool. It's his favorite car so i hope he will just want a newer version of it soon lol

    McLaren P1 and Lamborghini Aventador.
    Drove the McLaren P1, 720 and got to see the 600lt (before its release in the States). The McLaren experience was top notch. Got tips from their factory drivers, track time, etc...
    Aventador is my cousins and he lets me drive it from time to time.IMG_8577.jpgIMG_9104.jpg

    Really some cool cars listed. I'd love to drive them all. My top four I have owned are a supercharged BMW Z4M Coupe, Porsche 930 Turbo, Big block Camaro, and by far the fastest was a Meryln formula ford with a turbocharged 3 rotor Wankel. (I didn't have photos of my cars so I just googled for images of cars with the same color)

    On 2 wheels I owned a Yamaha R1 for about 3 years, that thing was stupid fast. Even with my big ass on it, it did 140 no problem. Unfortunately don't have any pics of it anymore.

    On 4 wheels I owned a C6 Corvette for a couple years before the Tundra. I had it tuned with headers, x-pipe, valvetrain work, etc. Had multiple track runs with 155+ on the straight away.

    That Camaro is my dream car. Being a big block, just makes it that much sweeter.

    I bought it from an old lady. It was avocado green with a vinyl top and 70 series bias ply tires. It still had a straight six and a manual three speed. I installed a 3 two barrel 425 HP 427ci with a M22 Muncie Rock Crusher 4 speed. Changed the rear end from the 10 bolt GM to a narrowed Ford 9 Inch with 4:10 (or 4:11 can't remember) gears and mini tubs to fit the tires inside the wheel wells. Fun car.

    My aunts McLaren 720S. She's got a fetish for supercars and the money to get them. Also has a 2018 BMW Alpina B6, a 2019 Lamborghini Urus, and 2008 Mercedes V12 AMG. It disgusts me what her garage looks like, in a good way.

    I been in all many cars some that come to mind are Lotus, Tesla, Cadillac ctsV, Evo, Audi s4 twin turbo, corvettes, audi TT with major mods. All were fast BUT, the 17 GT SHELBY 500 tops them all that thing was next level fast.
