    You're a lucky man, Charlie Brown! Absolutely awesome car. Paint looks so deep with that Crystal Rock. Great job.

    Excellent job.... you made Sex on wheels look like utter sin!

    I think the tall man overlooking the engine bay is contemplating if he can actually FIT in the car lol

    I love the looks of this car! Looks even better after a perfect prep.

    Lol, I was thinking the same thing! I doubt he could fit it in, at least not comfortably.

    Thank you!

    Believe it or not that guy is at least 7'3" I'm 5'11" and I'm up to his shoulder.:crasy:

    He's the salesman who sold the car and before I got to work on it he took it to fill it up and I went along. He fit in there but definitely was not comfortable.

    Thanks Ken!

    Very nice vehicle :druling: :druling:

    I guess it's all subjective but to me, this vehicle is worth the price tag compared to the Nissan GT-R :roll:

    Vehicle looks good, just curious how long did it take you to detail this vehicle?

    Nice job and beautiful car. I went and looked at one of those to replace the vette, but then there is the ZR-1.

    I'm glad that I do not have that kind of money. Why? because I would have too difficult of a time deciding to buy a 911 Turbo or that. :pye:

    seriously, the gas mileage on that R8 is great for a sports car... my rx7 barely got 10mpg in the city
