Check out this link.  This car is incredible...and to think, VW is the owner/mastermind of this creation.   :)  This car is going to stir up Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and all of the other big boys out there for the title of "Supercar".

"It's eleven isn't it!"

 

A famous rocker (I can't think of his name) when asked why his volume knob was placed at eleven instead of 10.

That was my suggestion in the if u had all the money... string back on the 13th!!!  

 

Nobody seemed that impressed with it then, but I still think it's about the sweetest car around.   :)

ahhh, I missed your post about it.  I've been following this car for awhile now.  I'm a big VW nut....those new "W" engines are an amazing design.

Yeah, I've been kind-of watching this car since I first saw it appear in some auto-show pics.  The VV engines are a clever design.  Just stick them together like legos.

well a little out of my price range but Im thinking the instrument pannel would look sharp in a silverado..

 

"Two one-carat diamonds form part of the interior decor of the study car exhibited in Geneva, and act as points of focus for its exceptional luxury. These 'Spirit' diamonds, as they are called, are mounted on the speedometer needle and at the center of the 'powermeter', a dial that displays how much of the engine's available power is being used. Cut with 16 sunray facets, these diamonds symbolize the power and energy of the 16-cylinder engine that forms the technical heart of the Bugatti EB 16-4 Veyron."

 

or maybe I can take a diamond from my wifes wedding ring and crazy glue it into the dash of my truck..

GREAT!!!  As if it wouldn't be hard enough to park it anywhere.  Why don't they just go ahead and scotch tape 100 dollar bills on the inside of all the windows.   :angry:

      Gas Prices

      By Atlas · Posted

      I recall paying $5.00/gallon in 2007 as well, although, different circumstances. A severe windstorm followed by a rare ice storm knocked out power in our region for days. We had a gas generator keeping the fridge cold and our furnace on power, and fuel stations either didn't have power, or didn't have gas because deliveries were delayed because of the storms. Driving around, we found one station that didn't have power but had a sandwich board set up out front. $5.00/gallon. They were hand-pumping it out of the underground tanks. I'm not sure that was legal or even advisable, but we needed it, and they had it. So we filled up. I was just out of college, just bought our house. Times were tight so $5.00 felt really outrageous. Local supermarkets couldn't keep stuff cold so they were basically giving food away. Fridge/freezer cases were literally being emptied out before the food expired. Never seen anything like it before, and until this day this event serves as the boilerplate for our winter storm prep.

      Have you spilt anything on the console during ownership?  Water, coffee, soda, juice, etc.?   GM has been seeing contaminated console shift controls causing all sorts of issues.  Requires replacing the shift control.

      If it's something they cannot figure out they can contact GM. They have a case open for noise in the suspension and my whistling drivers mirror they cant figure out how to fix.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Thing is gorgeous! Definitely been a LONG time since I've heard that sound!      I wouldn't call myself a purist, since I'll throw Wilwoods and power adders on anything. For me, that engine makes me cringe as a former shop owner remembering all I've been through with some of them. Plus I hate LS engines for their oiling system (MANY places to lose pressure from, especially on the AFM ones which I wouldn't be caught dead with), and the dowel-less front and rear covers - an engineering decision that irks me to no end! And I despise electronics with every fiber of my being.   My main reason for avoiding modern electronics is that when they fail, they typically leave you stranded. Tied for 1st place is also the fact that sometimes troubleshooting super-annoying problems can suck the life right out of you. I've wasted so many hours of my life chasing gremlins on those in all kinds of vehicles. I find carburetors and simple HEI style components much more suitable for keeping my sanity, lol. Different strokes for different folks. I probably get more hate from the younger crowd for sticking with my old school ways of thinking than you would for doing an LS swap.   When everything's working, they're certainly a ton of fun!

      Scan Equipment for 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas

      By davester · Posted

      I have an Edge Insight CTS2 in my '04 3500, and find it works well.  Only real problem I have with it is the obdii connector will work itself free over time, so it stops working and also freaks out the trucks electronics for a bit.  Remove and plug it in and it's good to go.  More recently, I've taken to zip-tying it in place which also seems to work.
