I will probably end up getting most of these items within the next couple of months…

To celebrate having 2 million Facebook fans, Porsche plastered the profile pictures of their supporters on a Cayman S…..HOW AWESOME IS THIS?!?
Searching by my name, I found that I made it on to the hood. Check it out….
During one of my bi-weekly stops to Costco to pick up groceries, I came upon this Maisto scale model of Audi’s concept car, the Rosemeyer. It was first unveiled in 2000 as a concept. For whatever reason, it never made it into production. Looking at it though, it does a bare a striking resemblance to the Bugatti Veyron; it’s even powered by a similar W-16 engine.
One look, and I immediately had to throw it in the shopping cart.
Uh-oh…
The local dealership, quoted me $570 to replace the front brake pads. Knowing that parts only cost about $200 retail, I quickly said “Eff that,” to the stealership and decided to give it a go on my own. Admittedly, I’m not a grease monkey, but I do have a father who is pretty good around cars. So, in the spirit of Father-Son bonding, I took this opportunity to spend an hour with the old guy to learn this pretty basic car skill…
Pagani recently unveiled the Huayra, the successor to the Zonda - still one of my favorite cars.
It comes with an AMG-built 700 hp 6-L twin-turbocharged V12…FTW! I also really like the side mirrors.
Drooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool.
Designed by Zagato for South Africa-based Perana. Quite the looker, and I’d argue may be even more awesome than the Alpha Romeo 8C.
I look forward to this car being reviewed on Top Gear.
