Well, while cleaning out the garage I found that I have a spare car. Must be left over from my midlife crisis from a few years back. I’m sure there are other DMS members that may need a car that is completely impractical. Impractical for anything other that 155+ MPH on the SRT/Tollway or doing burnouts behind DMS.
In all kidding it is a super clean car and extremely fast. Has a recent set of Nitto Drag Slicks but with 508 rwhp they won’t last you too long.
I was “clocked at 143mph and then 127mph - when you hit the brakes after you saw me” (he said when he found me waiting for him)… I pulled over and waited for Mr law enforcement …no ticket no warning thanks to wearing desert fatigues on my last free weekend before a deployment. Thanks to a nice cop in Alvaredo
The cop asked the typical “do you know how fast you were going?”
“no, the speedometer pegs at 140mph” I said .
He also asked why the hurry.
It was around 0430 - I didn’t lie - I told him I overslept and had a duty formation at 0730 at Fort Hood. He was kind enough to warn me about Hillsboro’s finest’s lack of tolerance for speeds more than 10mph over the posted limit.
Funny, that still is about $4,300 buuuuut no thanks.
The guy I bought it from has an car export business and sends primo cars of to Dubai. He says he has had sacks of foreign currency show up to his office as a thank you. Makes you wonder if there was some white powder shipped with the cars,
On my first vacation to Iraq in 2004 there were so many idiots buying millions of Dinars based on the old rumor that it would be valued at 1:1 with the US dollar.
I have some of the old Iraqi money as a souvenir along with a few other items but not bricks on ‘new Dinars’
