    I didn't like how the gold chevy bowties went with my silver car. So I did something that most every one of you would disapprove of. I bought some 3M DI-NOC vinyl, and put them over my bowties. Got it in a carbon fiber.

    It's 3D printed so the light plays off of it differently at different angles. I really like it. Cheap too. A 1 foot by 2 foot roll is $12. Compared to replacement bowties which are $130.

    That would be the old CCX. The Agera has an in-house developed V8.

    Good ieda T-5, if any of the Euro's fella's are going it would be cool to hear about it.

    That's one event every motor sport fan should go to in their lifetime.

    Just wish the Pug's were there this year to take it up to the Audi's and Toyota's.

    the 1999 race was the best one ever.

    The CCX/CCR + the engine are nevertheless both insane. Turn the volume up! (Pretty interesting drag-races in that Youtube-channel as well).




    Would love to got to Le Mans, but money's an issue every summer.

    Nasty crash, first you see the Toyota crew all excited about their car overtaking the Audi and a second later they have that wtf look because of the crash.

    It brought some tears to the crew.

    Toyota got into the Delta Wing. Hopefully they can get it back out. It was also a nasty crash though.

    I've done three trips to Le Mans, the last one was last year when the McNish Audi crash was caught on camera and generated a lot of press. There was another Audi crash that night which wasn't on camera but was apparently even worse, the safety car was out for over two hours.

    I have pretty much zero interest in cars but even I find going to the race fascinating, would definitely recommend it if you ever get the chance.
