Those are three different women with Lamborghini. I had the Countach in Florida and Texas. Unifax was my company that pioneered the facsimile business. Mine was the first company to deploy high speed GIII digital fax machines in Mexico, Central and South America. I had my own operations in Los Angeles, San Antonio and Mexico City.

For all you eagle eye observers note the Countach has Mexican License Tags (DF or Distrito Federal for Mexico City). That Countach was a European version and all the instrumentation was metric. When you backed off the throttle it would literally shoot flames out the quad tailpipes......pretty impressive I might add! The work around to running it on US Streets was a foreign tag. Don't know that that would work now with all the computer databases in operation now.

The last pix of the blonde was shot in Palos Verdes, CA, a LA suburb. I lived in Manhattan Beach (note the CA tags and MB logo on the license frame). LA's car culture is a trip. I super enjoyed putting that old Roller in valet and having it be in the best spot regardless of what other cars were there. That's big time DHV in LA LA land!

@ Wreckingball, The condition is everything. Sometimes a shitbox is the opposite. I lived in Carmel Valley CA for a while and this dude used to run the canyons in an old beat to fuck Ferrari. He became a almost fictional character because you only would see him pass you on the canyon roads and nobody knew him.

@ Tomgtv That 2dr Roller is making my man hamster spin. I'm thinking Big block Chrysler drive-train, lowered and some wide steelies with a stock hubcap look and maybe some flat lights and a charcoal gray powdercoat grill.

Sad part: A girl did in fact own the car before I did. Prior to the dealer I bought it from getting it removed, it had a mural in pin stripe form of sea creatures on it.

I might start calling it the Betamobile to down play its performance to other people. Thanks El Mech and RVF!

here ya go - add a big sound system, some under car LED's and you'd be stylin! You talk about winning the hypergamy race.........all the young ladies who rode in mine needed a towel to dry up their panties........"My boyfriend has a RR"........the ultimate hamster statement. The great part is buy one of them like the link up top for $40K and have fun! About the cost of a run of the mill BMW 3......... Run it for a couple of years and you will be able to sell it for what you paid for it, maybe a tad more! What other car can you say that about? Something like 80% of all the Rolls Royces that have ever been built in the last 110 years are still operational and for the most part in service.

You wouldn't want to mess with the motor. It had a 500+cu V8 Rolls Royce engine with giant valve covers with the RR name. They had Cadillac transmissions and AC in those years. It took 16 quarts of oil. I used to have it serviced in Beverly Hills. I met Chevy Chase there one day as we both had our cars in for service. There are more Rolls Royces in southern California than England.

"down play its performance to other people"

no offense to you personally, but is that possible, most people don't expect any performance from a cobalt.

i remember a guy was bragging he had bought a corolla S and I'm thinking does that "S" make much difference its still a corolla.

Not like getting a amg version of benz or even going to srt8 version of a chrysler

None taken.

Trust me man I have heard everything, even from friends. That is till they get in and realize that it does in fact have 260hp. So, I do take back my comment about trying to downplay it's performance. Most people assume it's really slow and I just smirk.

I currently have a blacked out 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I will getting rid of it in next 3 months and looking to spend $9,000-$10,000 including trade-in. I was thinking about 05/06 300C or 325i.

Thoughts on what I should get mech? MPG is important.

NYJ-Get this GMPP kit and you'll leave your friends heads in the back seat.

280HP and 320 lb/ft of torque in the Cobalt SS.

+20HP and +60 torque. You will definitely notice that in a small and light ride like the Cobalt SS.

What's up with the spoiler and the wal-mart hubcaps? Just because it's a beater doesn't mean it can't look a little cool. Beta.

That's a google image, my car is 100% stock. Less beta?

Get the 300 with a V8. If mileage is that important get a eco-beater and a weekend car. I'm not down with the 3 series except M3 just that stupid key alone is enough to piss me off
