Well today has been a wonderful day so far. Guess they don't like me anymore.

Liking cars like this probably doesn't help :p Oh well.

I should contribute more here.

Such a grey car has never been built.

I want one so badly. It's so beautiful, so savage, so utterly terrifying in its complete ability to literally destroy its own tires at the slightest touch of the throttle.

Only complaint...never got the amazing Bang & Olufsen stereo that the sedan got in 2011+. Really too bad. Other than that...I am so in love with these cars it's disgusting.

That is a large piece of iron, if you know what I mean. M6 a better choice for a 2-d00r?

Haha don't overthink it m8 I've been intermittently going in the grey too (also, you are grey in sub blogs like lanesplitter by default unless followed from them)

M6 is ugly and unreliable. Also sounds terrible with exhaust work. And stupid to work on.

OK - another 2 d00r you like better than the S-Class Coupe? A Jag perhaps?

Thought you might get a kick out of this.

That's unusual though. These cars are nuts to drive.

Oh yeah that's awesome! I've seen it but thanks for reminding me. These engines are truly insane. Nothing quite like it will ever be made again, I'm afraid.

We should start a club.

I wouldn't say better than, but I'm rather biased. But jag? Yes please! Have always loved jag. Or perhaps an Aston. Or TVR. I could do a 918 or carerra gt.

I've been un-grey'd for a while on the FP stuff but after mouthing off on that feminist Jezebel piece over the weekend somehow I'm mysteriously back in the grey consistently. Whatever. I'm not going to censor myself. Just trying to have fun here and enjoy cars.

This engine is still in production and it is rumored that they are working on a replacement V12.

I do like the M6 and ultimately, would probably choose that. But in a perfect world I'd have both...or one and then the other in quick succession.

or a band. The Greys

You tread dangerous waters! I've followed you here so you should be fine across oppo

Nice. Gotta be an AMG for me, the normal ones are way too soft/subdued.

*wipes tear* Thanks man, means a lot.

I like that idea. What type of music would we play

I really hope so. They really need one, a V12 with the same architecture as the new V8s would be a monster. So much better breathing, more efficient, more power potential.

Euro techno/rock

Evan, Pope Of Jalopnik by Self-Appointment > Manuél Ferrari 09/24/2014 at 14:58

Should go well. We'll be famous and stuff.

Manuél Ferrari > Evan, Pope Of Jalopnik by Self-Appointment 09/24/2014 at 15:04

And we'll use the money for lots of euro cars!

Evan, Pope Of Jalopnik by Self-Appointment > Manuél Ferrari 09/24/2014 at 15:49

And maybe buy the Ring.

Hey the Carfax is now working on their website:

Nice. Looks good to me. Surprised it was here in WI for a bit...and also in AZ. Would suck to move from AZ to WI knowing that you can't drive that car for 30% of the year.

Manuél Ferrari > Evan, Pope Of Jalopnik by Self-Appointment 09/24/2014 at 19:28

1

WI was kind of surprising to me too.

It's pick your poison with AZ and WI. In AZ it's too hot for half the year to use a spider. In WI it's too cold for half the year.

Maybe he was going back and forth

Evan, Pope Of Jalopnik by Self-Appointment > Manuél Ferrari 09/24/2014 at 19:30

1

Would be funny if he was shipping the car back and forth across the country. Of course that would be awesome.

Manuél Ferrari > Evan, Pope Of Jalopnik by Self-Appointment 09/24/2014 at 19:32

1

I bet that's what he was doing!

AMGtech - now with more recalls! > Evan, Pope Of Jalopnik by Self-Appointment 09/24/2014 at 21:48

1

Yeah that would be epic. Could easily make over 700hp and 800ft lbs. Or tune it a bit lower and maybe do without the gas guzzler tax.

Evan, Pope Of Jalopnik by Self-Appointment > AMGtech - now with more recalls! 09/24/2014 at 21:51

1

Oh yeah. That would be amazing. I really, really hope they do this.

Evan, Pope Of Jalopnik by Self-Appointment > Manuél Ferrari 09/24/2014 at 21:55

1

Well hopefully its next trip west is with you haha

Manuél Ferrari > Evan, Pope Of Jalopnik by Self-Appointment 09/25/2014 at 01:22

That would be sweet! My avatar when then make sense...

Evan, Pope Of Jalopnik by Self-Appointment > Manuél Ferrari 09/25/2014 at 03:15

1

Yeah jeez you're sitting over here with a Ferrari avatar and you don't even have one yet. What a phony.

Manuél Ferrari > Evan, Pope Of Jalopnik by Self-Appointment 09/25/2014 at 03:24

1

Total phony!

Work is fucking killing me. It's scary because it feels like it's all falling apart. Which makes buying a Ferrari a really bad idea. But at the same time it also makes it really necessary. if I'm gonna work seven days a week and have no life then I need a Ferrari to drive for five minutes here and there to stay sane.

Evan, Pope Of Jalopnik by Self-Appointment > Manuél Ferrari 09/25/2014 at 15:27

Exactly. You need to have some kind of happiness in your life, otherwise you're just going to melt and turn into a Cadillac XTS driver. Don't want that.

Manuél Ferrari > Evan, Pope Of Jalopnik by Self-Appointment 09/25/2014 at 15:29

1

And then I'd fall asleep at the wheel and die!

Did you see the 16M replacement???

Evan, Pope Of Jalopnik by Self-Appointment > Manuél Ferrari 09/25/2014 at 15:38

1

See? Buying a Ferrari could save your life. Fact.

I did and now I can't look at anything else in the world. Nothing can compare. It's too beautiful for words.

We need to start trafficking drugs or something so we can afford this car

Evan, Pope Of Jalopnik by Self-Appointment > Manuél Ferrari 09/26/2014 at 12:11

Seriously. You're in the perfect spot, in OC near an ideal target market for high-class illegal substances and closer to Mexico where the source is. Perfect idea.
