Hahaha, NOW you know how to hold our interest!

Nice cars! Never really see Spykers... I'm sure that's a head turned up there in NY.

Genius hahaha. I did something somewhat similar my Freshman year of college. Only upperclassmen were allowed to park in the nicer parking lots with special parking passes. I had the bright idea to park there on purpose, get the first ticket intentionally, then place the same ticket on my car myself every day. For the entire Spring semester, I got one ticket rather than one every day. They didn't catch on until the last week of school, at which point it was basically too late because after Summer I would have gained my upperclassmen parking pass!

Even though it has a 4.2L V8 in it, the Spyker weighs the same as a S2000, but depending on the motor management, has 400+ HP.

No Power Steering, Power Brakes, Stability Control or Traction Control, just ABS. The total opposite of a Ferrari, and 500 LB lighter

Also has the best interior: no plastic!

I am interested in the set of Rick's gauges. By the time I got my S and considered adding those, he was out of production for them. Nothing seems to be available to replace them.
