Cars of the Week

Lamborghini Murcielago

Saw one on the way to work this morning. It was idling curbside in the rain, gray, lights on. It looked perfect. I've seen one other in town, Pearl Orange, blue skies, sunshine. It also looked perfect.

Vitals:
575 hp, sub-4 to 60, 200+ top speed.
MPG City: 9


Dodge Ram SRT10 Viper

Yeah it's a truck, but it happens to be the fastest production truck in the world. It set that Guinness World Record in 2004 thanks to it's massive 8.3 Liter V10 Viper engine which powers it from 0-60 in 4.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 154.587 mph. (It's the same engine that the car has.) Fittingly, it's the only vehicle I've seen around town with a McCain/Palin sticker on it. Well, it was actually more of a yard sign taped to the bed gate.
