OMG!!! ... wet myself again.

Gotta stop doing that

This is just one awesome beast. Specifically built for the job.
I remember going to their website a while ago and you could design your own (link was put up here on forum somewhere)of which I did ... Geeze I had a nice looking car ... Had to cancel the order as the electricity bill just arrived!

Never having believed there to be anything better than sex itself ... Tell ya what, I would argue the point on this one.

I only have a 400hp baby ... Hope she grows up

What use is a car like that? If one drives it like it should be driven, Magnum will pull you over and put you in jail. smile


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

I'm not sure Magnum's K9 wagon could keep up with that thing.

The helicopter on the other hand... hahaha

It's nice, but too expensive.. 2013 Shelby does 200+ mph stock, and comes with launch control. notworthy

I wonder how many will be bought, and wrapped around a tree, by some fool with more money than driving skills. Super nice to dream about though.
