The "I just saw a...." thread

[LeonOfTheDead]

I never minded the Diablo being "just" an evolution of the Countach. On the other hand I think the original Murcielago was kinda... obvious.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

I never saw it as anything more than the logical next step.

I do see the obviousness of the Murcielago, but there is a machine-like element that they introduced over the elegant rounded forms of the Diablo.

Working for GM so... ZR1's x50 every single day. Just lined up in rows, with the doors unlocked and the keys in side. It was a little surreal for a while. Also plenty of CTS-V's and Camaros, Opels, Daewoo's, plenty of test mules, and some things which are really cool, but I unfortunately can't talk about.

ZR1-powered Aveo?!

Sounds cool btw.

Fiset has refused to do this on numerous occasions.

That's not acceptable. Your allegiance is to UCP first. GM second.

TELL US EVERYTHING!



So you work near Bowling Green then?

I have an LS2 powered Aveo.. in Forza 3.

Can you put Fiset in it? If not, that's just not enough I' afraid.

There's a clip of it on youtube that anyone can feel free to edit..

A KTM rider wearing a Harley jacket.
A gaggle of Californias, with tops up and down and covering the main color bases, all quite hideous.
A severely over-winged and over-scooped purple Diablo.
Some sort of late '60s Japanese wagon, I think a Corolla, very mint and very cool.
And, just for NSX-R: a burgundy Axiom.

Nope, but the next gen Aveo? yes. the whole fleet of next gen aveos is camo'ed out and im not sure why. and RHD models.

If they weren't paying my bills maybe...
Actually I work at the Milford Proving Grounds. And occasionally get out to the design center, vehicle engineering center, and powertrain headquarters. Milford is the best though because we have miles and miles of private test roads So we have a little bit of everything.... actually a lot of everything. I wasn't joking about the rows and rows of ZR1's.

I can't tell you anything that you'd probably really want to know... can't take pictures (no camera's allowed, even camera phones require an anti tamper sticker over the lens in order to go on grounds.)

I guess I can say that I work with the new Volt and Cruze a lot, as well as seeing plenty of other products and occasionally driving some. I've gotten to take home a couple of new cadillacs. And then there is the ZR1... definitely the best part

Proving Grounds

My friend wears a harley jacket while riding a Taiwanese (I think? It's a Sym) 125 scooter. He also has the matching open faced helmet, but he's since gotten a closed face one. He won them.

Good news! The Dacia Sandaro is now available!

I think I saw an old Nissan today. It looked like it was in great condition- paint was great- until my eyes reached the doors. It looked like someone had plowed into the doors just yesterday. It definitely was either an early 80's or late 70's car.

It most certainly wasn't a Honda, I would have known. It might have been a Toyota. It had that old two tone brown going, it was pretty cool looking. Rectangular tail lights.

I love spotting cars on the bus rides, you never know what you get next.

Haha, that's cool, was just kidding.

You don't even get to test drive anything I guess right?

The Volt and Cruze should be cool. I bet you hear lots of ZR1s every day.
