Chin.Up Report post Posted September 26, 2015 That is a gorgeous car, I've always loved them. The red interior is basically the cherry on top. Congrats and enjoy it. What are you doing out in the middle east for work if you don't mind me asking? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HannibalACP82 Report post Posted September 26, 2015 That is a gorgeous car, I've always loved them. The red interior is basically the cherry on top. Congrats and enjoy it. What are you doing out in the middle east for work if you don't mind me asking? Thanks for the compliments. I have always loved my S2000 and to me it was a dream car growing up. The fact that we are able to add an S8 to the stable in matching colors is unreal to me. I know I am not a baller like some of the guys on here but for me...this is pretty damn exciting. I can assure you that if this car hadn't had a red interior I wouldn't have been pulling the trigger. As for the middle east work...I am building nuke plants.

LPDADDY Report post Posted September 26, 2015 Good now? Car looks really good, congrats. Since it has a V10, any chance you can tune the exhaust like our long lost buddy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortis Report post Posted September 27, 2015 Hannibal you possible made the biggest mistake of your life automotive wise, giving your wife a car with that many horse power, you are screwed!! She will NOT accept any less for the next one, she will think everything else is weak and useless Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCR Report post Posted September 27, 2015 Hannibal you possible made the biggest mistake of your life automotive wise, giving your wife a car with that many horse power, you are screwed!! She will NOT accept any less for the next one, she will think everything else is weak and useless I disagree! This is Hannibal's effective scheme of spoiling his wife with a high hp car so that it paves the way for him to getting a Lambo. "You see my dear? A V10 isn't so intimidating as it seems after all. They even put it in a 4 door sedan and you love driving it, don't you? I should get one too but just with 2 less doors and a smaller trunk..."

kinnsella Report post Posted September 27, 2015 Congrats on the purchase. God that RR is ugly. Is the front windscreen tinted? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HannibalACP82 Report post Posted September 27, 2015 Congrats! That combo looks great. Are you sure about the red interior, though Maybe I will change it to blue. Car looks really good, congrats. Since it has a V10, any chance you can tune the exhaust like our long lost buddy Milltek and a few others make an exhaust. This place in Japan makes a screamer but it is a bit pricey for my baller on a budget status. Hannibal you possible made the biggest mistake of your life automotive wise, giving your wife a car with that many horse power, you are screwed!! She will NOT accept any less for the next one, she will think everything else is weak and useless The speed cameras around here scare me to death in anything she drives!!! That being said there are worse mistakes a husband can make! I disagree!

The only problem is that she will want the Lambo for herself and pack the poor Hannibal in the uber mommy mobile with the kids Hahaha. Give me an RS6 Avant and she can have the Lambo Congrats on the purchase. God that RR is ugly. Is the front windscreen tinted? Thank you! I like the RR but it is different that's for sure. The Audi has a slight tint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to impressions once you get some wheel time. Glad things are going well in your new assignment! I can't wait to drive it some more! I got the outbound wire transfer to myself done last night but they told me it MIGHT take until the 12th to be received by my bank over here. WTF is up with that?????????? Hopefully it shows up today/tomorrow and I can close this deal over the weekend! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HannibalACP82 Report post Posted October 9, 2015 Finally picked her up last night. That is a long story for another time but damn is this car quick. The wife was playing all coy today after a trip out until she drove it home and got to step out of the drivers side at the hotel. She liked the attention she got from the valet and the car spotters taking pics of the McLaren out front. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HannibalACP82 Report post Posted October 9, 2015 Awesome! Im glad you decided to go for it after all of that talking yourself out of it! Nothing better than that "new" car feeling. Thanks! This still qualifies as the dumbest thing I've ever done financially but screw it! If you guys want I'll continue this thread moving forward documenting the pitfalls of balling on a budget. So far one of the B&O tweeters won't retract and the other won't raise up. Additionally the rear sunshade retracted last night and won't raise back up and the power trunk was working and now isn't. Thanks VW electronics!!! However I still have a huge smile and don't regret it at all. Come back to me after I have to replace the CCBs and I'm sure I'm be crying.
