Here are a few pics I snapped with the DSLR over the weekend. Nothing too great but a few came out decent.

The F-22 is such a beautiful aircraft.

what’s the deal with this Dodge Challenger Hellcat? WTF? 635 hp??? That’s to the wheels by the way…

ran 10.8 @ 126 as well. Must be geared for acceleration because that’s awesome ET for 126 mph of trap from a RWD car. Not sure if that was on slicks…must have been.

That 10.8 run was on slicks, there is a video on YouTube, let me see if I can find it.

Looks like the strip just outside Seattle.

Good ol’ Pacific Raceways. They filmed an episode of Pinks there once. Fun NW fact of the day.

#327

No kidding, really surprised it’s only 126 trap. That type horespower should be a lot more. Gonna be kinda funny to see what the domestic scene does with the car, that is if they can get the power down.

#328

For these parts, the Ram 3500 + Hellcat seems legit lol

#329

in my experience/observation, automatic domestic cars tend to trap lower for a given ET; eg my brother’s transam 6mt would do 11.4 @ 126mph consistently, his buddy’s auto GTO would do 11.7 @ 116mph consistently.

Wooo, go Worcester. Makes me proud.

Turns out the guy who drove his Bugatti into a pond was actually committing insurance fraud, and he now faces up to 20 years in federal prison. Pretty fucked up.

^ No THIS makes more sense. The world is right again.

another Masshole story…

[quote][size=14pt]A Massachusetts woman whose licence plate was revoked failed to fool police with the homemade one she put on her car.
State police said a trooper stopped the car Tuesday on Interstate 391 in Chicopee, about 140 km southwest of Boston. It had a piece of cardboard in place of a plate with a number crudely drawn in red coloured pencil. Above it, in a mix of upper- and lower-case letters, were the words “Aug Massachusetts” in blue. At the bottom, the forger had attempted to recreate the italicized (correct) slogan “The spirit of America.”

The driver – identified by the Boston Globe as 25-year-old Johanna Baez-Rodriguez - was charged with several violations including having a suspended license and revoked registration.

“Moral of the story, if you shouldn’t be driving, please don’t,” the state police said on its Facebook page.

Haha why even bother?? That probably stands out more than no license plate at all.

#335

Talk about self-selection for jail time! LOL

#336

She will be the first one picked to start making license plates once in prison.

Off topic, what happened to Auditude (Pete)? I haven’t seen him around here for a while.

#337

And richib86 for that matter.

#338

For Chicagoland guys, the Audi dealer in Hoffman Estates is the nicest one I’ve been to in the area. Pretty big facility, great customer service, and an APR dealer to boot.

They have some sweet rides in the showroom today.

^ Nice. Can’t say I’ve been there, but I had driven past it when I lived in Chitown.

They moved into a new building just down the street a little over a year ago. It’s very impressive.
