I saw something pretty crazy yesterday...
Alright, I was driving through campus at Western Oregon University (my school), at around 4 30pm on a gloomy, drizzly day...
Anyway, as I am driving through, coming towards me is a bright red, very wide, low car...
As it gets closer to me, I realize it is a Ferrari Enzo...no doubt, it was an Enzo for sure!
I am just baffled why I saw a $700,000 car driving through my college campus in a town of 8000 people?!?!?!?
Definately don't see one of those every day!

The Ford GT40 got the "40" in its name because it was only 40 inches tall at the roofline. I believe the new GT has similar dimensions.
The Enzo is sweet for its technology and rarity, but as far as I'm concerned, the F40 is the one

I actually saw a GT40 on the road two weeks ago. I was so shocked. I had to take a double take to make sure it was actually what it was. I tried to take a shot with my picture phone but it didnt' turn out. Also, right about then he was getting off on the next exit.

A Lamborghini dealer is opening a couple miles from me across from a shopping mall.
The F40 is definitely the shit. I followed one in Monterey for miles. Got to see some flames from the wastegate exhaust, though he drove pretty slow.

It's possible that it was a replica.georryan wrote:I actually saw a GT40 on the road two weeks ago. I was so shocked. I had to take a double take to make sure it was actually what it was.

I see lots of cars like that around me.
I saw a Porsche Carrera GT the other day. And another one, a different one, later the same day. And I've seen 2 Bently Continental GT's on the Washington Beltway, almost next to eachother.
The Carrera GT requires $700 in labor to change the engine oil... + 11 quarts of Synthetic.

Yes Snowboarded:
The 911's are all dry sump, so they require quite a bit of oil, as the engine is in the back and the cooler is up front, and then they also use the oil as a device for cooling...so I s'pose having more helps keep it cooler over all...
Makes oil changes $$$$$

Yeah...Porsche 911 engines are "Dry Sump", meaning that the oil is contained in an external tank, instead of in the bottom of the crankcase...hence no oil pan to hit on stuff!!
Yes, the tank is quite a large capacity...which is important because the 911's also burn a bit of oil, even when they are brand new, because of their engine design and the materials used. Our 911 is sometimes down 2 quarts, but it really isn't an issue, because it has 13 or 14 more!
They are a pretty neat piece of machinery, and Horizontally Opposed to boot (=sounds soooooo good)
