I didn't even know about this streak until this week.

Of course Washington cared, this was their Super Bowl

@LarryFisherman if you ever have 45 minutes to kill, allow me to pass along my favorite car documentary ever, about my favorite car ever:



Note: if you aren't an engineering dork you will probably get bored at certain parts

It's honestly wild this car was ever made.

It's too bad the badge kept it from selling like it should have.

Only 3 of his 27 Mania matches were for a title. (And it was actually a good thing that they were able to book him in these big matches without relying on the championship.)

They had developed it for years, and only then did they change the frame from aluminum to carbon fiber. They sold the car for like 400k and lost money on every one they sold. Apparently they are making an electric successor...which means it isn't a successor because a LFA without the scream is not a LFA at all.

There's one LFA left that has never been sold I think, it's at a SF Toyota dealership. Red with beige interior, Ferrari-style. Imagine a 2012 car with less than 150 miles on it...normally that would be endless red flags but this car was so over-engineered that I bet it is still functional. I just need enough money to allow me to sink $900,000 into a car lol.

OT, but recently an unmodified R34 Skyline in Midnight Purple II made it to Cars & Bids. It was imported on a show permit. I think it went for over $200,000 at auction.

I honestly think they should have branded the car differently. Just spin up a new branch like hyuandai did with Genesis. It probably would have done better, although it's pretty hard to imagine spending that kind of coin when the F-430 and its successor existed. I'd take the LFA over the existing lambo or r8 though.

I'm honestly surprised one still exists. There's people out here paying 40k for 30 year old dodge diesels, surely there has to be a buyer in the market for a collectable?

And damn. I want an R-34 so bad. I'd take any skyline. A near neighbor got an R-32 vspec a few months ago, and I'm so jealous. It never leaves his fkn garage.

On Tuesday, Aldean pushed back hard against accusations he was "pro-lynching," saying such an interpretation "goes too far" and is "dangerous."

"There is not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it," he wrote on Twitter. "Try That In A Small Town, for me, refers to the feeling of a community that I had growing up, where we took care of our neighbors, regardless of differences of background or belief."

"NO ONE, including me, wants to continue to see senseless headlines or families ripped apart," he wrote.

I agree about the new branch.

I'm a Ferrari fanboy but not a huge fan of the 430. I think it's sandwiched between two better looking and sounding V8's (360 with Kline exhaust is to die for).

I love the Huracan and R8. Love them. They don't hold a candle to the LFA.

Agreed.

I'd make a terrible collector.

There is *no way* I could let a R34 collect dust. None. No way, no how.

And yet Mr. Forrester was gushing over how great that song & video are. That tells me all I need to know.

As for last nights game......I was as sick as anyone else of hearing about that stupid 24 game win streak, but this continued taking serious of pre-season games by the Commanders is equally annoying. How many game balls did Riverboat give out last night? And seriously, it is embarrassing watching those players act like they won a Super Bowl.

That's literally the point of a dog whistle, so that you can deny outright saying something while still saying it through coded language.

Don't act like a clueless idiot, it's pretty obvious what the intent of his song and video are.

"The video is filmed in front of the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tenn., a site best known for the 1927 mob lynching of Henry Choate, an 18-year-old Black man."

These old videos were my childhood, but the mines r34 was always so insane to me. I've never seen a car before or since that's awd have a tach that can go that crazy. I bet the acceleration is insane.
