Also I vote no to the picture per post rule. I have always thought of the last AI thread as a bar type setting for car nerds to be car nerds.

For lack of trying or for lack of a lift to the track? You are missing out. I can recommend the VSCDA event in September if you are looking for something relatively inexpensive. If you need a hotel many of the sleepy towns just a few minutes away from the track have nice motels and hotels. Portage being one.

Its honestly because none of my friends are car guys at all and I would really have no one to go with. Also Id be camping for sure. :rock:

Didnt we at one point have a Tank thread? Also technically its not considered a Tank in Russian since the turret doesn't move but instead a "Somahodnoya obstanovka" which translates literally into Self propelled [artillery] platform.

I thought that distinction was universal?

I guess you would just call it a howitzer tank in English.

All I know is that the Germans called it the Dosenffner which as I'm sure you all know means can opener.

Saw an SLS the other day. I was on my lunch break and running late so I couldn't get a decent pic. First one I have seen in the wild.
It said Kleemann under the AMG....

That Kleemann badge can mean a lot of things. Kleemann is first and foremost a tuning company, they do engine upgrades for most Mercedes models (and I think BMW and Audi as well, now), as well as suspension upgrades and styling. Pretty similar to Brabus, actually.

They're based in Farum, right near Copenhagen, so we get more than our fair share of Kleemann-tuned cars around here :) One of my colleagues has a W211 E-class that's been breathed on by them, it's pretty gnarly.

I can't see any power upgrades for the SLS on their site though, so it's probably just because the owner bought a set of wheels or something from them.

E: VVV Well, darn. I must have missed that when I looked.

Ive known about Kleemann but what confuses me is this was taken in Madison Wisconsin, not really known to be a hotbed for supercars. Let alone tuner versions. If that was the real deal than holy poo poo.

I work at a Sears Auto Center so that light is something I'm very familiar with heh. Which is why I thought it was striking.

I love these kind of shots because you almost never get to see these cars at "scale" next to normal everyday cars.

They Veyron always seems like its a huge car, but its no bigger than an Audi TT. When you see it up close in person your like, drat.
