Yikes - parked in my hood !
Permalink  

Look what i just spied when I went around to the Shopper's for some cold medicine. Sorry about quality, it's dark and its my phone, I lightened them up as much as possible. I also starting worrying about who might be the owner, if you get my drift, and split.

411 CID V12, 453 HP, 531 lb ft, 0-60 5.7 second, It must have had 20" wheels plus and the tires were about 300 wide.

Are you thinking the owner may have paid cash for it with untaxed money???

Neat, and they are pretty heavy too, correct? Seems to me that performance is pretty good considering the weight.

You are reading my mind Carl.

Just looked it up, 5,622 lbs. 3.46 axle ratio but it has a six speed, 6th gear is 0.691 : 1 and first is 4.171 : 1.  Top speed is listed as Governed - 240 kph.

I suppose Chrysler copied it Ken. My son just said to me that he has seen the car around so must be new to the neighbourhood. He said "you look at that car and you just feel you're not worthy".

I was behind a new Bentley 2 door coupe on the 401 the other day. Not sure what model it was. They sure look heavy! It was cool watching the spoiler on the rear lift when he reached hwy speeds.

Earl, we live in a middle class nieghbourhood with smatterings of Upper Middle class I would say.  Newly built and renovated homes sell for $850,000 to $1,100,000 so there are a few Ferraris around too. Some BMWs and Cadillacs but mostly older retired people who are original owners who basically hit a huge investment by virtue of a crazy Toronto Housing Market combined with the fact that Yonge and Bloor is just 10 minutes away. A house across from 65Camino sold for $998,000 not long ago and 18 mos. ago the one next to me went for $830,000.

I couldn't afford to move into my own house if I had to buy it today! no
