Cool car, but I would rather spend my 305K on snakes :) and maybe a house!!

LOL I don't have anywhere near $350k.. but yea I have other priorities..
even if I was stinking rich I would personally choose a different car. But nonetheless I TOTALLY appreciated this one :D

:cool:

Awesome ride! But I too would not sped my $300K on this car... HA! Not like I'll ever have $300K for a car anyway though!...

the person that can afford that car, is probably a rich, pretentious, douchebag.

mmmm now that is a shmexy car! I agree, I'd live in it! haha!

How'd this turn from a "check out what I got to drive!" to a "someone that can afford this is a #####" so quickly?! :rolleye2:

700+ ft/lbs of German engineering with a 7speed multiclutch transmission is fine by me!! :gj:

I was wondering the same thing. He doesn't own the car, he's saying he got to drive it............ and shoot it? and possibly bragging? Which I believe he has all the right to do! :) That car definitely gives someone bragging rights haha

Was I the only one that nitoced that it only get 12mpg street and 18mpg hwy.. Holy crap tanks get better than that, they cost about the same and a tank has the cool traffic device (30mm cannon)

Thats actually really good for a car that is classified as a super car.
My FJ Cruiser gets about 16mpg combined.. and if pulling a horse trailer about 10mpg...
And tanks run on deisel so the comparison isn't even there. Not to mention they get worse anyways LOL

In general, the Abrams tank — the largest and heaviest of the Army's vehicles — consumes 2 gallons for every mile, while the Bradley fighting vehicle gets a little more than one mile per gallon. The new Mine-Resistant Armored Protective vehicles get less than six miles per gallon. Heavily armoring Humvees has reduced their fuel mileage from about 10 mpg to four.

How'd you know all that? I'm impressed! I'm not really one for cars, and even if I did have $300,000 just laying around ready to be flushed down the toilet, I wouldn't buy it (not my style! I'll keep pimping my falling apart convertible. :D ) but that's awesome that you got to drive it! How did it handle? Did you have a blast? What IS your job?!

Google is how I knew that LMFAO

Its a NICE car. Fully tunable suspension. Spoiler goes up & down, you name it, this car can do it LOL.

I am lead photographer at Murray Motor Imports (Mercedes/BMW dealership in Colorado)
