Gotta say the hardtop looks hideous - completely changes the car to a hotwheels caricature
cant tell from that picture, but if its an ACR that wing is functional and adjustable in all the ways you can imagine.
Turo'd an X3 for the weekend in the Berkshires. 4 cylinder, zero options, 95,000 miles. It's very adequate but not the enthusiast's car like the 6 cylinder is, that's for sure. Comfy, quiet, and still solid, but I can feel some play in the front end due to the mileage.

Next off the Island.
Dodge viper arc. At least that's what it says. 1st time ever seeing one in the wild. It sounded so mean, even if the engine was idling 
Those were the ones Shelby claimed to "find" old chassis and parts to build with in the 90s.... Then they started making the csx6000 series cars.... I mean here's one with 26 miles on it that went to 90k on BAT
26-Mile 1965 Shelby Cobra CSX6000 Continuation

They are really awesome and I'm sure they are much better than the originals, but they are not all that valuable.... I love when people call them REAL cobras, it's laughable.
I thought this was funny because unlike a mall crawler Jeep this this actually has been upside down at one point. Sticker on the back is for realz and took me a bit to notice all the roof damage. Guess roof rails aren't meant for the weight of a vehicle.

Very much so. Though the aero does reduce top speed from 204 to 175.

@Patrick no sad faces here. The increase in cornering speed more than makes up for the top speed loss. https://media.stellantisnorthamerica.com/newsrelease.do?id=17086&mid=
That’s the 2016’s track records. The 2010 had a bunch too and held the Ring record for its class for years. Yes I’m biased, but the acr is still pretty impressive, and is not the straight line car it’s often mistaken for.

Traffic light to traffic light so teenager....

That's true of any track-focused variant. A Porsche GT3RS has a lower top speed than a GT3.

Gotta get some more drives in with the GT350. Another 12 days, we head back to NJ and she goes into hibernation for 6 months. Today's cruise, saw my first (or at least noticed) F150 Lightning. Strange seeing a big F150 with no exhaust pipes and making no noise. Not crazy about the front - maybe it's better at night.

I thought you shipped it home for the summer.

No I was driving it back or on the autotrain. We are putting the townhouse on the market this summer so not bothering this year.
