The Lamborghini Miura: How It Changed the Auto World Forever
https://www.cheatsheet.com/automobiles/the-lamborhini-miura-how-it-changed-the-auto-world-forever.html/?a=viewall

Quote:
...........And this world-beating outsider status was first came to fruition with the Lamborghini Miura, a car so revolutionary that when it debuted as nothing more than a chassis and engine at the 1965 Turin Motor Show, it caused a sensation. At a time when a mid-engined layout was largely reserved for racing, the Miura’s stunning proportions and incredible power instantly put more established makers of exotics on notice. Despite several models that came before it, for some enthusiasts, it was the first Lamborghini worthy of wearing the bull on its hood. For others, it’s nothing less than the ur-supercar, the true ancestor to every screaming mid-engined supercar that has come since.

I met a woman at a party last night, her name was Miura but it was spelled differently. She never heard of the car, and said; what do you mean it has eyelashes? I told her to Google it, gotta wonder if she will do it.

Nice to center it up once in a while.

GT3 Speedster?


Porsche 911 Speedster spied testing with new GT3

https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/porsche-911-speedster-spied-testing-132500733.html

Quote:
Really, this looks like a GT3 Touring with a roof similar to that on a 911 Cabriolet. If you look closely, you can see it's not quite the same.
How closely?

What about a Boxster Speedster?

What is wrong with this picture? Although the pic taken look less than what was being seen.



And it’s a straight roadway too.

I'm assuming it's a rhetorical question, but that truck is dog-tracking. Bent frame and/or bad alignment.

Here's the full Mr. Wizard explanation...
