it's a maybach
kinda like the Lamborghini veneno, except instead of four there's only one

Interesting.  That would make it more of a concept car now and since Maybach is dead now, it isn't a worry lol

[Caution]

If I had that much to blow on a car Id probably buy a 458 Italia. Or an Aventador. Or an LFA.

If you had 8 million dollars to blow on a car you'd buy a $200k car or a $400k car or a $375k car? What a waste of the remaining $7.6m.

If I had 8 million dollars to blow on a car I'd buy some $10k beater and spend the rest on something worthwhile

The issue is that the key words are "to blow on a car," meaning you can't spend the money on anything other than a single car.

What do you guys think about my car?

I'd love to have this in real life.

EDIT: Traded it in for a Toyota Celica. Higher speeds.
Look at this stuff, just look at it!
Of course, switching from a 5-shift Miata to a 6-shift Celica didn't make drag racing any easier.
Compare the race with the previous one I posted.


This has been a stuffty day.

definition of rice

[Night Fox]

it isn't really a rice car if it's actually used for racing, right?

[$trinick]

RICE stands for Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement. Cosmetic is the operative word, it refers to non-functional. Something like that huge wing wouldn't be considered ricey when talking about a real racecar. However, stuff like a color-mismatched hood, decals on the side, underglow and a roof scoop (wtf?!) are still race inspired cosmetic enhancements; thus they are still ricey.

Rice is yummy though...

Probably. I mean I want something at least a little practical. I mean theres a certain point where cars get so expensive I don't even want them. A Veyron is pretty much across that line a little bit.

I also saw a black and yellow Stingray today with racing stripes. I jizzed all over in my car.

Do you only come to this thread with the intention of ruining the party? We understand that you'd rather spend the money on other things, but it's a thought experiment about what car you would get with that money -- not how the best way to spend it is.
