    Hennessey Venom

    The sound alone is probably worth $10k of its cost...

    Yeah, Hennessy apparently doesn't fuck around.

    IF I invaded Dubai and stole all their money, this is the only car I'd be interested in for that price--not a Veyron, not a Konneggisgeegesgseg, not a Hyurraah...

    But, seeing as I'm part of the 99% which will soon be reduced to serfdom when The Collapse happens, I guess it's just pure fantasy, just as unreachable as the old Countach poster I had over my bed as a kid.

    Similar, but mine was the just the full profile, black on a black background, with subtle lighting to show its form. Cool poster, probably still at my mother's house somewhere.

    Nice! I think that was the first one of those types from the 80's. Then came a bunch of followups with different cars.
