The car flipper dude might be a nice guy but he seems to make Mike Tyson level financial decisions.

I thought all trucks were.

A friend of my wife took me for a spin in his new vet. Had track package etc.
He pulls onto the road and gives her for a second or 2.
Car becomes very unsettled and for a moment I though we were going into the lake.
He had no idea!
During the ride I had to give him all kinds of advice as he has never had a high horsepower car and knew nothing.
First point was don't hit the throttle unless the wheels are pointed straight!

Not great. No pics as the car is inside the shop and I didn't have the heart to ask him if he had any to share.

Sounds like he earned himself an expensive lesson.

I have one vehicle that might be a "look at me" and its my 1970 BMW R50/5

once in a while it gets looks and when I stop at place like Newcombs Ranch occasionally people will stroll over to check it out, which is appreciated

I could post a 0-60 time but I would need a calendar.

Taking satisfaction in legitimate possessions isn’t necessarily about attention seeking…it can be entirely about healthy appreciation. Of course, appreciation gets to be a tough sell when beating the sand out of something results in you and your buddy sliding along upside down in a ditch.
