That was cool how they showed the manufacturing process. I see why it costs a million bucks. ;)

For a million dollars, it had better do something more then just "turn me on". ;)

Tiff Needle was a former Formula 1 race car driver. If a car gets HIM excited...you know the car is special.

Damn I want one. BAD.

.......i don't know. let me clean my pants real quickly. nah honestly though, that car is amazing. the closest i've come to seeing something like that is a friend's godfather's (yeah, yeah...friend of a friend of a friend deal) lamborghini miura. didn't get to drive it because it had a flat at the time, but i did get to drive his wive's ferrari mondial. they are pretty well off. their collection includes:

lamborghini miura
2 (yes 2) ferrari mondials
austin mini cooper
porsche 912
jaguar xke
and....this is the kicker: a saturn station wagon :) (gotta have a get-around-the-town car)

i know you don't believe me, so here is his page . has a little info on some of his interests. i hope he doesn't mind :)

Posted before and I downloaded it then.:)

I have an article about that car in which the salesman said you can put it into gear and start driving without using the gas pedal. The car has so much torque that it will do 70 mph in 6th gear with out every pressing the accelerator.

Yakko, I can take off in my $7000 Mercury Mistique without even using the gas.

Pop it into first, ease up on the clutch, car takes off without even using the gas :) Granted, the idle speed is only 10 MPH, but still, it's pretty cool to pop the clutch without killing the car.

I always had to clean off the passenger seat in my 1967 427 Vette when I gave friends a ride.
