Again, I'm taking the low road on this. All those prety Ferraris, Porsches, and Ford GTs. People seem to get excited about looking at these thoroughbreds, but like the horses that were in the run for the roses, only used to delight the wealthy elite that gather at these events, raising champagne glasses, and toasting the good life, while the workers at their factories that provided the lifestyle they've grown accustom to get thrown out on their proverbial asses, or worse yet, made to perform their tasks with no insurance, no pension, and with substandard wages.
Ah the good life, as long as you can afford to stand on the back of the working class, nothing is truly out of reach.
@elwood: oh phuleeze.... NASCAR is exactly the opposite. All the cars look the same, instead of Champagne, the audience is swilling in very stale, very cheap beer; instead of dressing to the nines, they are barely dressed at all; Instead of conversation in a hushed and reserved manner, there are streams of expletives; And instead of very expensive, somewhat advanced motorcars on the track, there are very expensive, not at all advanced motorcars on the track.
Huh, maybe it's not as opposite as I thought it was.
@jodark: That really makes absolutly no sense at all. Last time I looked, the French don't have mass graves since the 1940's, neither do the Dutch, the Danes, the Belgians, the Swiss, the Swedes, the Norwegians, the Fins, or the Spanish. Don't equate Socialism with Totalitarianism, in which the key ruler is large and in charge. Examples of the latter? President: Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe; Senior General Than Shwe of Mianmar (the former Burma) is another example; President Kim Il of North Korea, is another brutal example.
So don't preach to me that socialism equates third world barbarism, as it most certainly does not. Scare tactics like this is what the previous administration used to control and enhance power. It doesn't work anymore.
@bertone77-is reticulating splines: If you right-click on the thin white border around the pictures (select your resolution first), you will get the normal options and can save it from there.
@bertone77-is reticulating splines: What she said, or, I usually find it a bit easier to just go for the bottom centre portion of the image, since they no linky there.
If your local cable/satellite provider were to offer WRC/IRC rallying, various Touring car series (V8 Supercars, BTCC, et al), FIA GT racing, and other funny ferrin racing series in a pay per view/on demand package like MLB Extra Innings, NHL Center Ice or ESPN's college football/basketball packages, would you pony up and subscribe?
@SCROGGZILLA!!: If I had cable/satellite, I'd do it. At this point I'm not going to start a $60 digital cable subscription for it, but there's always The Future!
I have a small problem that I think you may be able to help me with. You see, I am a carmosexual male and sometimes have problems "controlling myself" when faced with gratuitous car pr0n. I tend to get over-excited and then I ejaculate.
You are probably wondering what this has to do with you. Here's the deal: can you please let me know a day in advance when you are going to post gratuitous car pr0n on Jalopnik? Things like Supercar Teardown, pictures of the Ford GT in full race trim, etc. tend to lead to me unloading my man-juice in my pants. If I have advance warning I will know to bring a change of pants.
@Duke engineerd von Prandtl: I'm so sorry engineerd. I'll let you know ahead of time from now on, but damn, don't they have a pill or something for that pre-ejaculation thing you have going on? Oh yeah, its called puberty. Don't worry....Shhhh, I'm not there yet either.
@Leeeeena the Jalopchick: No. I keep an emergency skirt in the car, but it isn't really "work appropriate attire" according to the memo we got last week.
@Gutpunch McRodbender, a strolling player's understudy: It has always been a fantasy of mine to walk out of the grocery, drop my bags in the passenger seat of a Se7en, then pull my goggles down from my leather helmet and drive off, silk scarf snapping in the wind.
On other days, you might find me dueling the Red Baron from atop a doghouse.
@Archduke Stübaxle von Thrashenheim: One of my friends has a replica Se7en (meticulously assembled and upgraded, as he works for a racing team) which he is considering selling. Where are you?
@Archduke Stübaxle von Thrashenheim: I'm not sure who you are, were or will be in the future, but On other days, you might find me dueling the Red Baron from atop a doghouse topping off your grocery getter se7en story earns you a hearty clicky.

And those cars aren't too bad either, the Ford GT, the S7, the Masers, the Astons, the Ferraris, the Vettes, the Lambos...
Heck, even the Porsches look alright, and the BMW 6 and GT-R are starting to make a little sens... wait... uh... actually no.

And dang, the Viper is a cool car, but it sure does look like it fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

I just noticed that Aston Martin in there too. I'll take one of those to park next to my Ford GT.
04/14/09
White stripes on red? Yes, please.
Blue stripes on white? Fuck yeah.
Grey stripes on black? Well, yes please too, but I wouldn't feel as bad repainting it in Gulf Oil livery.
04/14/09
Oh, blue stripes on white for the win, no question. I'm just not seeing one here, and if I had a second choice, it would be black with silver stripes.

@pauljones: As for my garage, Next to the Ford Gt, and Aston Martin, I'll take that Mustang in the background as well

That's what I tell my wife. She doesn't believe me.
I agree with Bullitt, though. The Ford GT, Aston Martin, and Mustang all would have a loving home with me. Heart click for fantastic taste.
