Fucking hell, the max speed! :eek: Can you imagine opening that thing up on a long stretch of empty highway? Yes, I know, kill yourself and all that, but _man_. And I think it looks nice. ---

Actually, except for the front end, I think it looks fine, and if they did a little work on the front, it’d be neat as hell, IMHO. I like the rims on it. ---

How about 308 buttonjockeys?! I like it too. The profile view of the car is stunning. The head-on view isn’t as bad as the three-quarters front view. I can’t digest the rear lights at all though. I love the interior. ---

It’s good to see that after his fatal airplane crash, Senator [Paul Wellstone](http://www.mtn.org/~cpcsm/WellstonePaulSheila_Bus.jpg) (D-MN) has been able to find work as a reanimated race car [driver](http://www.germancarfans.com/news.cfm/newsid/2050519.002/pageview/photo/photo/Mini10/page/1/maybach/1.html). ---

It probably looks better in person. I just wonder how many Chrysler parts are in it, seeing as Maybach is an infinitesimally small part of Daimler-Chrysler. Yeah, probably none. 😃 ---

> [@gotpasswords](#): > > It probably looks better in person. > > I just wonder how many Chrysler parts are in it, seeing as Maybach is an infinitesimally small part of Daimler-Chrysler. Yeah, probably none. 😃 The headlights looks very similar to those on the current Toyota Celica. And the gas cap looks the same as the one on the Viper and Charger. If you look at the history of special edition vehicles built by automakers over the years, you will find quite a bit of off the shelf parts used in their construction. ---

Damn, that’s an ugly car! I don’t care how fast it is…if it’s that ugly, it still won’t get you laid! 😃 But yeah, the idea of the car, someone else’s gas card, and Montana **did** cross my mind. ---

Kind of reminds me of that car Peter drove in an episode of Family Guy. Other than that awful grill, I kind of like it though. ---

> [@silenus](#): > > Damn, that’s an ugly car! I don’t care how fast it is…if it’s that ugly, it still won’t get you laid! 😃 If the car doesn’t get you laid, the fact that you can afford it (regular Maybachs run in the $300k range) should. ---
