Finally saw my first GT-R in real life. I like it. Good looking car.

1) Warranty is 3 years or 36,000 miles. To maintain the warranty, you are required to bring the car in every 1000 miles for a check-up. This is covered by the dealer for the first year, but you have to pay for years 2 & 3. Seems very excessive and I would expect the dealers to rob you blind.

2) The tires are run flats. If you do get a flat, all four tires must be replaced together at the tune of $1000 per tire.

3) The transmission and the engine are hand built to work with one another. If one goes out, both have to be replaced.

4) Current sticker price is $72,000 and Nissan is now raising that by another $7000. Most dealers are demanding a premium resulting in a sell price of $100,000.

5) Backseat is a serious joke. With the driver & passenger seats in comfortable locations, there is literally ZERO room for a passenger's legs. I really mean ZERO. The back of the front seat will rest against the front edge of the rear seats. That's just silly when you consider the rear seat looks to be made for a real sized person.

Onto the pics:

Spotted Doltmo...again! Thursday.

You were driving south on Spring Mill (?) crossing over 465 on the bridge.

I was headed east on 465, just coming up to the bridge. I was bringing the Diablo back from being serviced.

Lambos everywhere. LOL!

TrixZee and I were thinking about driving down, but we have a show Sunday we need to prep for.

They let you "look" at the cars for $10/person.

Mapped out some roads around the area if time allows exploring. It'll be last minute if we decide to go.

Doltmo & DC on Hwy 37, headed north through Nobelsville with a planned stop with VetteCop, then on to go have some fun.



Doltmo....good to see you have your Gallardo back home.

Local pizza guy? Would that be Papa John?

The Maserati had Indy plates and we saw him on the Yankee side of the river headed north and got off at Seymour.

TrixZee's brother lives in Louisville. Their sis came up from FL and we had a family reunion thing happening. Lynn's makes some great food. I hear b-fast is even better. We have yet to do Derby, but its on the "To Do List".

Have you been to Proof yet?

fixed the AMG. I accidently posted the 1st one twice. TrixZee caught that one for me.

Surprised you didn't go for the Pinto?!? LOL!

Trip this past weekend to Louisville.

Didn't have the camera when we went to Lynn's Paradise Cafe. There was a Sivler Exige sitting out front. Also saw a Rolls Royce on the road.

Now, so this post isn't worthless...onto the pics.

Special one for Webby


And for the highlight...one very well loved car with sparkling chrome and paint. This pic does not do the condition of this car justice. who'd have thought someone would love one of these this much.

Just saw a post on f-chat by Brian S, in the thread about our last S Indy run, he said he received a call from someone about an Enzo wrecked in the area. He's asking for add'l details.

Anyone have anything on this?

ahh...so close, yet soo far at this point in time...
