1985 Ferrari 512 BB Boxer




It was owned by the father of one of my friends. He snuck it out one night while daddy was gone, and we tore it up. Took it out to the local cruise scene, raced it, and eventually caused the clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing, and flywheel to shatter and blew a head gasket as well. $16,000+ in damage back in 1987, about the same price as a brand new Mustang GT or IROC Z at the time.

Fortunately, I never got implicated in the situation. My friend took all of the blame.

Im not just saying this because I represent Steeda ... but the StreetFigther is amazing. I have been fortunate to drive in a few high end cars... the handling and HP of the StreetFighter is awesome!

The Rolls Royce would have been pretty nice too.

I have driven one of these:



Only I think the one I drove was a '65 and not a '68. Can't believe I drove it to the car show and back in one piece, not a scratch.

Drove like a tank. But nice car indeed.

But it is in NO way the best car I've ever driven. That is this car:



But Champagne and in better condition than this one (sorry owner of that one... it was.) The Mark VII was hands down THE best car I've ever driven. I hated to trade her in, and I shouldn't have. The Mark VIII was a JOKE, and the worst car I've ever driven. I wish I had that VII still. One of the best ever made.

Awesome is really nice, and I love that car o' mine, but she knows she has big shoes to fill. But she's doin' pretty good at it. That Mark VII is going to be hard to beat, though, I tell ya.

Ok, you're going to have to explain this one.

As for me...

A 2013 5.0. Didn't even get to take it over 40mph. My life is so boring.

Yeah, that was a track experience. Got to drive them as fast as I could push em. Got em to 120 or so. I also got to ride along with a pro drifter in Z06.
