Oh that would be too easy - the guy bought it, and then even though it had been driven 7 miles or less at the time, he paid more to have the Evolution upgrade added to it. And then he somehow came in full possession of the car despite the fact that Ferrari doesn't allow FXX owners access to the cars outside of track days. And then he didn't do anything else with the car, because it's not street legal, and driving it on a non-Ferrari track day would have made news.

Quite the mystery.

You realize the seller is Ferrari Maserarti of Fort Lauderdale right? Its legit I would imagine.

On their website they are offering a Collectors dream package of 6 cars, FXX included for $9 million

The seller seems legit, but were FXXs originally sold by just putting one on the dealership floor and advertising it? It gives the impression that it's just being sold like any other car, that you could take it home on a flatbed like any other race car..

[Monocrom]

Knowing the type of attitude that you get from Ferrari, I'd be extremely skeptical that they'd even remotely consider allowing one of their authorized dealerships to just outright sell an FXX. Anyone buying that thing, regardless of who they are or how much money they have, I can see Ferrari turning them away from one of their tracks. Telling the owner he's not supposed to outright own one, and thus won't be allowed onto the track since it's not supposed to leave one of their tracks, after having been purchased at a dealership.

this is one that was built at a shop i used to work for its a 06 z06 that made 1265hp to the tires and through the stock exhaust its absolutely insane it will break the tires loose at 120mph

Crown Vic update: The final Ford Crown Victoria that rolled off the assembly line a couple of weeks ago has been delivered to Al Jazirah Ford of Saudi Arabia, where it will be permanently displayed on the showroom floor.

Very funny. You almost got me with that one.

[StarHalo]

Very funny.

True story bro; you have to admit it is kind of a princely car. And they really value the 3044 liters of interior space, apparently..

[Monocrom]

That's just wrong . . .

Sent where? Where someone appreciates it?

You know what I mean.

Some things should be a certain way. I was in Wal-Mart today. Just out of curiosity, I checked out the small section where they sell American flags in different sizes. Even there, at Wal-Mart, every single flag was Made in America. Just saying . . . Some things should be a certain way.

Missing: 1978 Toyota Celica liftback; long ago in a galaxy far, far away, Twentieth Century Fox held a car giveaway promo for a new movie called "Star Wars" where they gave away this very custom Celica. Neither the VIN or the winner's name was recorded, and the car hasn't been seen since. There's probably quite a reward waiting for the current owner since this may be the most valuable Celica in existence..

They still do. My favorite item from Wally World is an oversized, glass, beer mug. Ironically also Made in America.

BTW, that was one sweet jump. Who would have thought you could Dukes of Hazzard a Buick.

Drift button is for sissies... Real men don't even need handbrake to drift

[Monocrom]

Brakes??

What kind of punk uses brakes?

[Acid87]

Awesome ad. At least the guy has thought about the ad. The worrying thing is that the guy is probably like this in real life.

That is one sweet looking car. Bit of a BMW Aston martin vibe to it.

That is freaking hideous!!

Who's the blind, hippo-loving, SOB who came up with that design?!

I am not only glad I bought my Mazda6 V6 when it came out, but I'm very thankful that it came out in 2009. Created during the last year of the old grill design. Right before 2010 when somebody high up in the company decided to pay tribute to Batman's Joker with those hideous grinning front ends.

I didn't think Mazda could come up with an uglier front end. Wow was I so incredibly wrong!

[LukeA]

That's a fine looking car.

I see the Aston Martin inspiration in the chrome window surround and in the haunch over the rear wheel. The front brings to my mind new Volvos, which look great with the agressive look their front fascias give them. And connecting the front to the back are the flowing but assertive lines that Infiniti has aimed for but not quite hit.

Man that car looks like it ought to be RWD. And I think it looks gorgeous.

Front-end looks like a horribly wounded hippo that came onto land.
