Aw I really thought it'd top the top gear power lap times and then it was beaten by a zonda! Ha!

:lol: Only one minute after the show ends you post. :P

I know, I can't believe it; at first. Then, after some thought process: it makes sense. After all, the Zonda was half a ton less in weight than the Bugatti so of course it'd be more agile. I would still go for the Bugatti. :wub:

I would love either one but I have about as much chance as winning the 649 Lottery

I only want a car made by UAW/CAW members because they make the best and it's my obligation to keep them employed :lol:

Yes I am a big fan of the car unions. Everybody knows if it wasn't for the unions GM would have died long ago. The unions are the best thing that ever happened to the North American car companies. GM, Ford, and Chrysler are privileged to have them working there. We are privileged to be able to buy the cars they build and don't any of you ever forget it or they won't let you buy their cars any more :lol:

I've always thought the Veyron while fast is just butt ugly, it's one of those old sayings "only it's mother could love it." Then again it is fast, but I'd rather have a Corvette ZR-1.

Ages ago my next door neighbor had an E type Jag in British racing car green and I was green with envy.

The Yamaha YB50cc sounded like a loud angry wasp looking for something to eat.

My dream was a fire engine red Camaro

I really like old motorbikes, and I'd have to add that to my list of motorbikes I'd like to someday ride (and not fall off of).

I suppose my dream car has always been the Porsche 911. I don't think I'll ever be able to afford one...

I've always liked those too, so much so I've had dreams for years about driving the you know what out of a black 911 Turbo I don't know how many times.

They used to have a Porsche day here in town, and there'd be 911's old and new as far as the eye could see. That's back in my teen years when me and friends would hold up signs saying "Will drive Porsche for free!" We never got any takers. :lol:

But hey, it was worth a try. ;)
