CJ - I did not know that you owned a '55 500 Spyder... Wow. What did you think of the car? Must have been surreal to drive and remember James Dean...

gorgeous car. Maybe some day in the future, the mclaren is going to be in my garage. The interior is beautiful. And that suspension is made out of some really trick pieces.

1600lbs! Makes sense that it would be tossed all over the place on public roads... Classic Porsche nonetheless... thx

Congratulations!

Use it in good health, and watch the others disappear in your rear view mirror.

For those that have driven Mosport, a Pro drove the MP4 12C around Mosport
last week, 1:28.

Big congrats. Car looks great.

A couple of weeks ago I got a ride in one at Thunderhill. The car is seriously quick, and pulls like crazy. We ran a couple of rolling starts on the front straight, and the McLaren out sprinted a 599 GTO as well as a Lambo Aventador!

Have fun.

Fully agreed with NJ-GT with the above. PERFECT complement to the Carrera GT for supercars - best of digital/analog.

Congrats on purchase and enjoy!

Super nice car CJ!

On another OT, does your race miata have a sign on the bumper says "please hit me"? Almost every continental tire challenge race I watched has your miata getting hit like a ping pong all over the track
