And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Even if I would have the money for the house and the car, I would never have the need to "DISPLAY" my car in that way, but then I like cars who look ugly and slow as hell, but have the title "Porschekiller"....
A friend buys a new 'vette every ye ar. All the options because he can. But he's 6'5" and overweight. It takes a while. But once in the fit is fantastic. This otherwise studious, intensely cerebral man focused on his work loves tearing up the freeways in the metropolis. Also the kindest man you'll ever have thee pleasure to meet. Works at JPL, among other things. Hold 20+ parents for medical devices and other. I know this is beside the point. I gush of this exemplary human being yet with a proclivity to kick up his heels in high fashion. It is what life can be.
Looks like a light box with security cameras, possibly in IR as well as full spectrum. Part of multi step security system? Compare to the camera above the door. That one is obvious. Possibly to deceive (attract the attention of) the would be intruder. Security would utilize deceit.
If you owned that car you wouldn't need the income from the Amazon products you highlight for us. It's a McLaren F1, the fastest normally aspirated car ever. They built around 100 of them in the '90s and one sold a few years ago for $20M at Pebble Beach. Al_in_Ottawa
Rowan Atkinson (Blackadder/Mr. Bean) bought one, and AFAIK, still has it. The story of him getting it into an accident and then getting it repaired at the factory is pretty entertaining. I believe that he spoke about it on Top Gear. At one time, maybe still, used it as a daily driver. Lucky pup!
Atkinson has sold it I think - he wasn't using it enough or something. A bloke a few k's away has / had one but he's had it for a while. I've never seen it on the road but a work colleague had reason to visit the property and saw it. Clearly there's money in good chocolate.
I've got nowhere to park a jewel like that, nor at my age do I want one. Would last under 5 minutes in the apt complex. But my 10 year old Ford Fiesta (Got lucky! Got one with a good transmission.) suits me just fine.

That's still my favourite supercar no matter how old it is.
ReplyDeleteGetting in and out of that car would depend on how old you are.

What is that above the car? Some sort of HVAC system? It is not a light. The light system is square in shape and above the object.

Deletea "patina rich" but solid Porsche - Bathtub or equally turned out 912 - would suit me better than fine.
ReplyDeleteWell, if you want to oogle a 2006 Honda Civic, Christmas decorations and a pile of recycling, you're all invited over to my place.

ReplyDeleteLooks like Cameron Frye's garage.
ReplyDeleteDon't let him borrow that car on a sick day!
