As you all know, it's 12/12/12 today. For a brief moment, it will also be 12/12/12 12:12:12,12. While this is undoubtedly all very exciting, instead of waiting for the apocalypse, let's talk about V12s instead! That is the right thing to do!
For $20,650, Get a People’s Car Originally Intended For Only Very Rich …
How much would you pay for three-quarters of a Veyron's Engine, minus the turbos? Well, get ready to find out, because Nice Price or Crack Pipe is bringing you a W12 that even those with meager W2s can afford.
Quattroporte: Out!
The masses have spoken. Looks like one of the very few cars in the Fantasy Garage I've actually ever driven will be joining the Volkswagen Phaeton W12 in Loserville
