Found this massive snake in my garage!!

Do these stripes mean it's venomous or is it safe to touch?

Don't worry, the progress isn't slowing down on Tink. haha

[94touring]

Wow you really bought one! Very jealous!

[MtyMous]

I'm not a man of false promises. lol.

This thing is epic. Can't wait to have Tink and this one both available for fun spring/summer/fall driving

Let's say a guy is scheduled to be in Dayton around 10pm on Friday night. Any joy rides available?

[MtyMous]

absolutely. Forecast is calling for rain though... boo! Any chance you're in town Sunday? lol

[94touring]

Nah, just a coincidence I'm there this week!

[MtyMous]

Let me know when you get into town. Might be able to take her out in the rain for an old friend.

A car that is on my bucket list, no nannies, pure adrenaline!! Completely mental!!   Fantastic buy, enjoy the shit out of that car!!

Congrats!! 

Makes me want to sell my pickup and FJ and buy one.

[94touring]

Yeah it was super cool.  I want one now.  Oddly people in kia's and Toyota camrys wanted to race it. 

[MiniGene]

V10? That's nuts! For being going on 20 years old, it sure looks like it was taken care of.

[gr8kornholio]

I raced one about 20 years ago in my 72 C10 with a 383.  I knew I had no chance, but his was new, he was older (at least grey haired) and had a hot young blonde.  Just wanted to see if he would, so I blatted my loud side exhaust at him and when the light turned green he nailed it and it was sooo awesome!

Did you win??

Edit: I have a lengthy history in street races.  I've toned it down as a "responsible adult" but my best one recently was over a year ago vs a Mercedes amg-63. The 600hp turbo v8 monster. I was headed to the shop in the middle of nowhere on the 70mph highway when he pulled beside me super pumped to see an rx7. I honestly didn't even think much of it as I don't know my Mercedes.  But I was game.  He punched it, I went into 3rd, and we were neck and neck till about 150.  He was way more excited than I was, and I was just plain confused why I didn't blow his doors off.  Then I researched the car.   Since then I've upped the boost from 15 to 25, went with a bigger turbo, and run water/meth injection. One day he will feel the wrath if he runs up against me again.

No, he had me pretty much off the line. My truck was stout but it was still a huge truck.  Did smoke an NSX really bad. Honda's just don't make tourque.

Dream old man car is a Mercedes CLS AMG55 or early CLS AMG63. Don't care for the twin turbo body.  They are fairly cheap used but maintenance can get very costly. 

[94touring]

The early nsx's only made something like 280hp.  I never got into them, or the s2000.  Rotaries aren't known for torque either, but they make up in rpms.

I mean the NSX engine is just a modified accord V6 really. And the s2000 is an I4 2L engine.
I'd still kill for a '97 NSX-T in red with a black interior, 3.2L V6, and 6spd transmission.

Would have been a better time if I hadn't missed 4th, Dan. haha. Still learning this new box. Definitely a LOT more notchy than other boxes I've driven. Not in a bad way, but just gotta learn it. Next time it isn't wet we'll go out to an area we can have a little more fun. haha

[94touring]

You'll figure 4th out lol.

My favorite quote from that evening was "sick paint job" "Yeah he painted it in a barn"
