BTGuy, yep, Bullitt probably has the best car chase scene ever. Runner ups would be Ronin, Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, and maybe Transporter. I’m not sold on the new Challenger. I’ve never really liked it, and I don’t think I ever will.

And yea, Harleys are beautiful machines. I’m not a big motorcycle guru, but I think I’d prefer a Kawasaki to a Harley. It just looks more sleek to me.

I forgot to mention a car that may be even more beautiful than the 300SL- The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione. It is simply breathtaking. That is real art! And yes, I’ve always been fascinated with the engineering achievements in cars. For a while, I was considering going into auto engineering and design, but it’s a very competitive field, and there are only a few locations where one can live with such a job. But I still very much like it, and consider it a hobby.

Some new car news: I just saw on Car and Driver’s webpage that the Lamborghini LP700 (Aventador) will be made as a roadster next year, besides the hardtop version. And this goes back to what I said about the Veyron Vitesse. I don’t like when they do that. But the truth is, at least the Aventador is pretty much an all new car, both outside and in, and isn’t at all derived from the old Murcielago, so making a roaster of it is actually not too bad. I think it will actually look amazing. I just hope it’s not gonna be a cloth roof. I’d want a carbon fiber removable roof.
