The lone bing user, how lonely it must be :blink:

 

HEELLLOOO!!!! all i see is Bing :blink: I feel lonely

 

LOL, in real life? hell no.

 

I've got a Kawasaki ZX1 for my trackday piece, and a 2004 Land-Rover Discovery as my work car. My salary's good, but it's not collecting good. That's what Gran Turismo is for; the ones I can't afford IRL. I will be buying a new car soon, but I'm tempted to wait for the new WRX assuming it's early 2014. I used to have a WRX-STI in real life, gorgeous car, I'd happily get another, but it'd have to be the new model. buying a car that's in it's final months of production is silly.

That's what I trackday with in real life, a Kawasaki ZX10-R. 200 kilos, nearly 160 horsepower-gives you a power-to-weight ratio better than that of a Bugatti Veyron. It's just not quite as comfortable as a Veyron. Or as prestigious. Or as practical, or as convenient.

 

If I had a million bucks I'd get one of these; they're just... art. They may cost SIX MILLION DOLLARS each, but you can't fault anything about them. The level of detail, the styling, the 1200 horsepower, ultra-low emissions engine, or the fact it's literally the fastest car on the planet. As cars go, the Agera's the top of the proverbial tech-tree-it's literally decades more advanced than more road cars, so is 6,000,000 USD really an unfair price?

*footnote. See the yellow stripes? that ain't yellow paint. It's a carbon fibre/aluminium/kevlar/titanium composite material inlaid with a tiny layer of gold leaf, and then sealed in some form of clear resin. The stripes alone cost more than my Land-Rover.
