Are you a member of Classic Car Club on Hudson st ?

Just picked this up last week to celebrate my 30th.

I think it matches my Milgauss well enough. It's relatively low key with some pizazz.

I'll never sell it, to me it's the representation of proper delayed gratification, paid 17.5k cash for it.

and, on this beautiful day the other day, I was driving it out to see a client's "thing" that would require a bit of dirt road commute, so I figured it'd be good for the oil. It's an old one, but I will upgrade it,

thread drift, feel free to talk bout any suggestions for upgrades, but most seriously i'm going to do a gm engine that's a 383 set up for this model year from vortec some suspension steel bumpers, lockers dyna prob maybe air dunno, and the darkest of dark purple paint jobs ever seen on the planet. darker even than that smilie.

And if you keep up what you're doing in the picture, you won't have many cars to worry about anymore...

Very Nice!! Are you on NAGTROC too?

now now now, let's not judge based of assumptions. it degrades the satire of the photo (bonus points for noticing). I wasn't alone and be it known wasn't driving.

Not to be an ass or anything, but judging from the picture, assuming this was taken in a part of the world where you drive on the right-hand side, you would have to have been sitting in the drivers seat because of the mirror, and seeing the blur, also moving at speed.

Soo..

Anyways..doesn't matter.

What is this? Buick ? If so are those eom rims?

Wow they really stepped it up if so.

I have a video of the modded car on a Dyno, but unfortunately it shows my license plate...

Yes to both. A Regal GS. The wheels are indeed OEM as are the Pirelli 255/35/20 PZero summers and Brembos. While I agree Buick has stepped it up (hence the purchase), Opel gets most of the credit for this one as it's very closely based on the Insignia OPC.

The big brakes and sticky tires combined with the HiPer Strut/adaptive ride control would change many minds on what Buick is/can be. It certainly did for me.

Right, doesn't matter, which is only reason why I play. We confirmed that a pic taken from such driver side given available drivers' positions, by law. Underestimate not your local rolex forum lawyer from
his humor, all ya'll get off the ilegality and the tort, SERIOUSLY, an enjoy the day date. I did this safe to put a rare of rare pic on TRF.





hardcore longtimes at least look, n or redeem.

Please excuse the off topic-ness, but I'm feeling white knight today.

"If you’re caught talking or texting while driving, you could face a $500 fine… if you put someone else at risk you could receive up to $1,000 fine, lose 6 demerit points… plus you could receive a suspension on your license and even some jail time!"

This is in effect where I'm situated. Regardless of where you live and its current legality, it's a silly thing to be doing. Trust me, your watch is awesome, but no one can appreciate an accident whether it involves only you or others. And as you seem to be saying you're a lawyer of some sort, you should know even better!

Well I have two so the wife drives the SLK!

[Rolex77]

I got a lot of rolexes, my car is only 1300cc japanese car

[LightOnAHill]

ok i think people are missing my point. I wasn't driving. i can pic the watch, the hell out of it, not even get inattentive.

AND i agree, not paying attention while driving is bad. I wasn't driving. how many times and ways do I gotta say it, OMG read first response, I'm going to bed, ya'll pacific islanders can explain to these n0t getting its.

seriously not driving omg don't let me stain y0ur white knight with red

[patrike]

GMT IIc and always going by bus or subway. Perfect balance IMO. :)

I probably should get a drivers license and a BMW 330 or something, that would be a nice match.

Nice rides!

I like the new boxy look applied to the SLK. I don't think it works on the SL (maybe it will grow on me, but for now I think it's pretty horrible looking). On the SLK, however, I think it looks just right and alleviates all of the 'door wedgle' awkwardness the previous generation had from some angles.

Thanks! I agree!

Haven't checked out the Classic Car Club on Hudson yet, is it a good idea? You like it? I have generally just rented cars from the Gotham Dream Cars... (never when I'm in NYC though - only when I'm in Florida - so I can cruise the highways there and let it out a little bit more)...

[FsharpMinor]

#1 is a 2011 BMW 335 xDrive Loaded, the other one 2004 Screamin' Eagle Softail Deuce.

[AF_Rob]

I drive a 2010 Toyota RAV4. Simple car, simple home, gives me the means to do what I love... travel and of course nice watches.

[txdinh]

This is what I drive whenever I can find spare time

Ha i hear you man !
It's an interesting idea , and they have a decent roster. A friend of mine is a member and he's really into it . It may be worth checking out .

[msimm30]

I drive a black 2012 Audi A4 S Line, the only thing I love ALMOST as much as watches.

[QueueCumber]

I got my GT-R back from a transmission repair, so I can post some pics of it:







And the Rubicon (you can see the hardtop on a hoist reflected in the windshield):

[jamesh]

A Sub LV would be the perfect match but she goes pretty well with my GMT IIc
