OK boys and girls. Thinking of upgrading your ride? You might want consider one of the World's 9 most ridiculously expensive cars.

Reading the article and perusing the pix just reinforced my opinion that the XK8 is a classic machine in the truest design sense, and most of all is affordable despite a few well-known glitches that can be readily fixed.

I wonder how much an oil change is for a Koenigsegg? And where can I get the DIY manual for the Aston-Martin One-77? I guess if you can afford a $2 million ride, you probably have your own mechanic on staff anyway.

 

These cars make a Ferrari look like an econo-box. At least you can sell a used Ferrari.

There are just a handful of people in the world that could afford and maintain such automobiles. Depreciation would be beyond one's imagination.

The GTM kitcar from Factory Five @ http://www.factoryfive.com/gtmhome.html could easily run with these cars for $20K plus the cost of the engine/transaxle and labor assembling.

 

Hey XKRacer-

Can you make our XKs to breath fire too ????

 

There's a guy here in town (Chicago) who is a big time Ferrari nut with several cars.

He "does his own maintenance" in his home shop with the assistance of factory mechanics who he flys over from Italy and puts up for a couple of weeks once a year or so.

 

Bet yer *** I could

 

Spurlee:

A cardiologist in my town has a stable of Ferrari's. To do a valve adjustment on his older Tesstarosa, the engine and transaxle must be removed. The dealer's 270 miles away in Atlanta.

Car trailers and pullin' trucks are often mandatory for exoticar owners in smaller retail car markets.

 

I think the '97-'06 XK8 is more aesthetic than the whole lot of them. I not very fond of either the wedge shaped pointy designs or the front/rear chopped "Tronmobile" look that seem to be the fad. They even chopped the Aston DB's for lawd's sake.

 

Tesla will release a new electric model soon. Note the very, very familiar looking profile in this article: Plan updated on Tesla's Model S sedan

 

I bough my own car lift on eBay and now I ain't scared of nothin'!

If it looks to scary to fix, I just let my hands do the work

 

I am soooooo jealous. I need a lift.

...And a workshop to put it in.

 

Just think, Sam, combine a lift with some serious lighting and a dolly truck for your video camera and your really cool YouTube videos will become all the better for it!

You'd probably need a beret and an agent, eventually!

 

Hah, too much drama in Rev's videos. I saw a couple and they felt like reality TV after a while I'd say some hot, bikini wearing assistant girls, handing them wrenches, would work well.

 

Was watching top gear last night (the good one) and Audi is actually dropping fuel into the exhaust of their RS5 to give it a little burble sound on gear shifts? Am I hallucinating?
