Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler New Camaro to be in Transformers Movie.

If you can't tell a BMW 6 series from a mile away -- particularly from the rear -- there's something wrong with your eyes.

Lol, at my age I'm lucky if I can tell the difference between a BMW and a Chevy from 500 yards away But I still prefer the styles of the older versions that had more distinctive lines.

Most beautiful car I ever saw in person was the BMW Z8 at the DC auto show a few years back. <<droooool>> It was like a piece of art.

And, hey, that 6 series is alright as well. I think I'm owed one since that's what all the psychiatrists drive, or at least you would think so from Huff on Showtime. Damn him and his sweet 645 convertible...

Nice post Tom. I look forward to having a couple beers with you one day……

I’m partial to this concept car……(Ford Shelby GR-1)

No matter what comes around the bend in the next few years, the 06 Z06 vette will be hard to beat. The power train and suspension on it are in a league of their own, and with no more than a day’s work and $2500, you can easily get it over 700 hp - without nitrous.

Thanks, Mike. Me too.

I don't have the same knowledge about or budget for exotic cars that many of you do. I've recognized that, while I share the basic American Male affinity for all the things cars can be and can represent, I'm not willing to invest my capital or time in something that is - in my daily life - a transportation appliance. My utter lack of enthusiasm for washing and maintenance dictates that I simply don't deserve a bitchin ride.

I've always appreciated the recent Corvettes. They look beautiful and exotic to me. Moreover, as the flagship GM car, I have no doubt that it is spectacular. As inept as Ford, GM and Dodge have been in providing interesting, highly-valued mainstream transportation, I think it is ludicrous to suggest that - with money as no object - they can't assemble truly remarkable vehicles. The Fort GT is a monster, as is the Vette and I suppose the Viper, too.

Speaking of monsters Tom, this W16 cylinder, 1,001 hp, 253 mph beast is what I'd call a monster ... for a mere $1.7 million!

If you go to the home website and navigate your way to the 'Model' then 'Engineering' page there's a cool 7 step video showing the inter-workings of the 16 cylinder engine and the car's drive train that's absolutely neat as beans.

Whoah, Rick. I had no idea that thing existed. Amazing.

Betcha you would wash that one once in awhile, Tom!

At that price, it either better wash itself or come with a servant who does it for you!

Looks like when we buy our next set of vehicles, we'll go from being a two Pontiav to two Toyota family. She's got her eye on a Corolla, I've got mine on a Land Cruiser.
