Saw a Ferrari GTC4Lusso today, otherwise known as the only naturally-aspirated Ferrari you can both sell your wife on (AWD, automatic, plenty of room for 2 car seats) and have fun with (680 hp NA V12 with an approximately 8000 rpm readline, dual-clutch transmission that shifts lightning fast, only AWD until 5th gear and even then it's so RWD-biased). Used versions start at the low low price of over $200,000 US, of course, so it's within range for literally everyone! The shooting brake from heaven.

So naturally I follow the guy to the gas station and have a 15 minute conversation about cars. Super cool guy.

If you think I'm creepy I don't care. It's a Ferrari and I have no regrets.
Another Ferrari sighting today, this one a 458.

I didn't get to stalk the owner of this one though.

Holy f*** boys. Some will remember my aunt passing away 6 months ago. I had already received my percentage of her pention of some 30 plus years at G.E.

Well just today I find out, all along she had been investing in Scotia Bank. I had no idea. Let's just say it pays to be kind people. Only my brother and mother were on the paper work when she has other sisters and nieces/nephews. I don't understand it. Was very humbled

Not saying numbers, but no I'm still not buying a new truck 😝

Just arrived in CO so I won't see them for a cpl weeks , on sale 35%off .135$ USD Pretty good deal , I have to buy these about every other year,I ride a lot. Teck3 is lower end but Alpinestars are a excellent brand. I have FLY mavrics now which are actually better than my previous O'Neil boots.if you ride without good boots and something goes wrong you will be in something similar for 6 weeks..gear up.

The Shelby got out of bed on Monday for the season!
Was able to drive it for a couple days after as well before rain moved in.
Almost put a couple hundred miles in already in that short time. :D

Well boys it's gonna be a visit to the hospital soon for the boy. The tail pipe rusted off at the muffler. Muffler actually looks pretty good which is a shame.

Think for now I'll cut the dangly bit off that will get me pulled over. The tip will make it look like I still have an exhaust. It's no louder since the muffler is still there.

So now my mind is rumbling...go full weetarded? Find some good pipe pre muffler and splice in?

Borla? Magnaflow? Flowmaster?

What y'all think

Have posted this many moons ago.

I was driving my '86 firechicken but never fealt just right about it. Ran fine, drove fine etc.

Crossed a dealer one day with a '93 Beretta GT with dual cherry bombs. The Chevy 3.1 at the time already being notoriorious for its stock sound... I was hooked.

I drove it in my city and nobody cared. Started working in down town Toronto and you get noticed.

So blah blah I get pulled over for noise and no mufflers. I said to the cop but it was cert and emmissioned 😢 he says show me a receipt for the muffler and I'll drop it.

So like 3 days later I had a Magnaflow muffler split into quads and it was twice as loud 😂 but legal

Tahoe to be specific (same shit I know). And yeah you might be right *sighh. I've always liked this truck quiet anyways. Don't wanna get stuck with something that's waking the neighbors up. I think ill take your approach... I just got excited at what could be.

The Berreta story I told, it was f***ing loud. Car alarms going off and everything. I worked in downtown Toronto and in multiple underground parking lots a day. Yes I've been yelled at a few time lol

Ok so not a big update, but was at the shop today and my bud said $460. Generic muffler, but he's gonna custom bend the rest with the good aluminum.

Wanted this under $700 cash so I guess I'm happy. Go back Tuesday for the work. Maybe I'll leave him a nice exhaust tip on the seat 😊
