That moment when the person receiving the award for best actor is wearing the same paint color, top and wheels (outfit) as the random person hired to hand them their trophy.

lol :]

Sorry, i’m just so damn bored at work. Some dude traded in this SLR vert for a DB11 so i’m playing around with the car, looking it over just trying to kill time

I’ll call it a draw because it’s two of my childhood dream cars in the correct colors.

i’ll get the keys from the used car department and park them side by side. The Z4 has a long bonnet but the McLaren has a looooong bonnet lol :]

Oh my god I’m extremely jealous.

Please take lots of pictures if you can.

My only problem with these is the symmetry.

Here the spoke ‘blades’ would rotate in the correct way as the car drove forwards.

Yet here, the spoke ‘blades’ would appear to be going backwards as the car drove forwards. .

Which is why I went for these, they have rotational and reflectional symmetry.

lol yeah I always found that odd on various cars with directional wheels

If they did two different wheels, two with a clockwise rotation and two with an anti clockwise rotation, I’d be happy.

I love the SLR

Thank you! This is my biggest pet peeve of automotive wheels! I HATE when wheels go “forward” on one side of a car but are going “backward” on the other side. It looks so fucking stupid.

So did you guys have to give him money on top of the DB11 or no lol. Which would you rather have?

I think the z4 wins just barely, due to its better porportions. The SLR trunk seems too high, but then again I’ve never seen one in person so i don’t know.

just got back from going around the block in it. Been years since i’ve driven one.... holy more it is insane!!! I guess the owner got tired of actual speed and power

DB11 is a very quick cruiser. I just got back from taking the SLR around the block. Been many years since I drove one and dude.. it is a complete and savage monster! Insane levels of power. I like insanity over beauty.

Not sure what they gave him for the SLR. The hard tops are worth more I know that much

Although I agree with you from an aesthetic standpoint, I’m laughing at the idea of having to buy four different rims if you have different front/rear tire sizes.

I can see that. Both in the end have some of the oddest lines and design geometry ever lol

The Z4 wore some of the best and most interesting OEM wheels of any car

It just doesn’t make sense in my head. I know when the car is moving above a given speed the spokes aren’t apparent any longer but my brain knows it’s happening.

Right?!??

92-06 BMW in general. I am looking for a good set of e46 M3 CSL replicas for mine. Those look so epic on e85 Z4

Still one of my favorite cars of the era, just gorgeous.

I’d certainly have a hard top over the roadster. The 722's are stupid expensive.

I made like twenty hours today. But you drove an SLR. I think your day was better. I’ve still never driven one.

Not a bad day still. Those 20+ hour days are hella rare at this place.

It was second time I drove one and like I was telling someone here, it is absolute insanity worth of power. Like diving into a pool of cocaine. Only thing I can compare it with is some sort of suped up viper or corvette but way more refined.
