I've seen that photo before, but a good looking 427 street car with a hot passenger never gets old.
As it's a street version, the only thing I'd do to that car is switch out the billboards for some Avons to make the tires as subtle as the rest of the car.

Damn right. I run Avons ZZ 225/65 and 275/55 15s and reckon they are the definitive tyre.
However they could make a killing by Billboarding them....

Its Nicole Scherzinger, but they are famously uncoupled these days.

So there's your opportunity!

That is a great looking car and I am really beginning to enjoy the look of the Goodyear tires. I run 17's but I'm sure the 15's are great. Is it me or do those rear tires look like they are about to shatter the fiberglass fenders. I sure wish the Avon's in 315's for the rear!

That's funny, I'm not seeing any fiberglass in that shot.

Aluminum, plutonium, whatever its made of. Maybe it is just the angle but it looks like those rear tires want to eat the fenders. It is a great looking car without a doubt

The car is being weighed down by thier collective egos.
Have you ever heard either one of these two speak. I'm pretty sure they refer to themselves in the third person.

Oh yes. One more thing. Not real keen on any of the new mercs. They have far too many bells and whistles.

I'm not sure Lewis has the reputation of being arrogant. I think sometimes people who are confident, unintentionally come across as superior. For many of us, on track, he's possesses the measured killer instinct of the consummate race Now that he's tamed his temperament, he has emerged as everything many want to see in a racer. Additionally he's multi world champion in different teams. That's how you judge an F1 driver.
I admit he has embarrassing dress sense, but he's a formidable talent on track. He started at the back of the grid last race, lost part of his bodywork after being hit , made 2 more pit stops than almost anyone else, had zero water pressure, had a self destructing car for over 15 laps and finished second.
If you saw the class of the field ahead of him, it was an heroic drive against the odds and certainly in F1, makes him one if not the greatest drivers of the modern era. Ask any F1 driver....
PS Haas are doing pretty good in their rookie season - we're all impressed by the team, over here in Europe.
