It may be a 6 figure car in the future, but I find them kinda ugly. I have only seen one on the road, and I was under impressed with its looks. Now if someone wanted to give me one, I certainly wouldn't turn it down, but for that money there are plenty of other cars out there.

ItalianSxS, saw one of your Ford GT's on the 101 being driven by a guy as his commuter. As he looked up at my 10 year old 4x4 covered in desert pin stripes next to him I could see the fear well up in his wallet as he contemplated the severe financial trauma the most minor contact would have caused. Wonder what they might call the psycosis induced by visions of flying gravel off construction vehicles. Bet he looks good on the photo radar though! It is apparent some Scottsdale drivers think the photo radar is a professional scout for NASCAR.

Funny you should bring up Corvettes. That's what I'm currently driving at least occasionally. I only fill it about every two months since I've retired.
I owned and operated a video production company until I retired. Each year there in a 70 mile closed "race" held in Nevada. This is a timed race on a public road. A customer of mine modified the special ZF transmissions used by a client in his Corvette in this race. The Corvette could hit speeds up into the 220 range and I seen the video to prove it. If memory serves me correctly they were covering the 70 miles in under 20 minutes!
The GT 40 at least IMO has to be one of the most beautiful cars of all time. I seriously doubt if Ford will ever build them again. My favorite shotguns at least from a beauty perspective are the Dicksons from Scotland.

What kinda knives you make?

I mainly make fixed blade knives, but do make a few folders mainly tit. liner locks with ivory handles. Made to the customers pattern or mine. Use ATS-34 most of the time. My knives are in use from here to Africa to down under. I like to make knives that will be used and not looked at.

The Best Side by Side of the world is Holland & Holland Royal Ejector gun and with traditional Renessance large scroll engraving.
Ideal design and handling, brilliant simplicity of all parts and especially of AB Ejector and marvelous safety.
Among all 3 best London makers of the best SxS, H&H Royal is the most reasonable.

A picture of that GT 40 driver would have been priceless. For those unfamiliar with Arizona, Route 101 is a bypass that goes thru Scottsdale. The posted speed limit is 65mph and photo radar kicks in at 76mph. They clocked one driver doing in the 140s, several doing 100+ and some female mortgage rep. got over 70 photo radar tickets earlier this year. She claimed she thought they were just warnings so she thru them in the trash.
As a side note: I can tell you the reason why Danica Patrick hasn't won an IRL race is she isn't putting in enough lap time on 101 when she's at home here. There has to be more exotic cars on the road in Scottsdale then anywhere else in the world.
I was in Germany in early May and I can tell you I see more Porsches here in a day then I would see in Germany in a week.

H*ll know what is Scottdale, never heard of it, probably the hole in the ground, but all exotic cars today are in Moscow in downtown and at the Rublevskoe high road settlement, where the speed depends on size of your wallet only. You, Jim, are retrograde now.
Any way you can't take all these useless toys with you in grave.

I don't know about exotic cars Geno; But the Russians have re-discovered WW II militaria with a vengance. They're buying up everything they can at the shows.
