    Well the VP of the company is a mid-30s VERY mild mannered guy who, up until just last week when his car was hit in the back really bad, he was driving a 90s Accord with a ton of miles and all sorts of issues. Failing glass windows (they wouldn't stay up and were held up with tape) and lots of other things. Lets just say the CEO was ashamed of his car and kept nagging him until he finally had the accident.

    Well this morning he drove up in his brand spanking new:

    I'll post pictures when I have a better camera than my blackberry on me. And I'll ask him to let me take shots of the engine and interior again.

    EDIT: I did post 3 pics from the BB on Facebook, for those who know me on there can check it out.

    There probably won't be anything in the Engine bay to see except for a large plastic cover.

    Screw pictures. Tell him you want to drive it.

    WTF...how does one go from an Accord to THAT?!

    other than the insurance cutting a big fat check!

    Well when I looked under the hood it looked like sti red in some parts and the other was a tan color with the trident very prominent.

    Looking at specs, rated at the engine, it doesn't look all THAT special.

    Yup, that's pretty much it but he gets a good check so he wouldn't have to save up for long. He has like 3 or 4 houses around Atlanta that he owns and rents out as well.

    I definitely need to see if he's willing to give me a ride in it. He knows I'm the biggest car person in the company.

    But before this, he had bid on an M6 but I guess that deal fell through. So he had to "settle" for this car? :rofl:

    I am not a big Maserati fan, but I would drive the hell out of that one.

    IIRC, that's the same engine that's in the Ferrari F430 (with a different bore/stroke).

    Very Nice car. My neighbor has one and is thinking of selling it because he has had nothing but problems from his.
