Sounds like your neighbor is Striker.

 

Not sure how many Striker has, it’s a 4 digit number lol.

But we have 4 and just fill the driveway and park one in the grass.




SL and LS are the garage queens.

 

This is why I want only 2 cars. In the garage, nothing in the driveway. Sounds like a PITA to me lol.

Got both the cars cleaned up today, they were filthy from driving around in the hurricane all week. Haven't washed the Pacifica in like three weeks, it was filthy

 

Hey now lol! I don't have anything on the street, 3 inside, and the two SUVs at the front of the driveway so they can both leave when we go to work etc and still allow my W12 out without moving anything

 

Bought the Phaeton. This is one car that truly lived up to its hype, it's insanely well made and the attention to detail makes the LS400 look lazy and not fully thought out. The ride is THE smoothest I've ever experienced, shifts are so invisible it's astounding. Makes the ZF8 feel choppy, it's not possible to tell shifts have occurred on this car....

I'll have to make a video showing all the details but for example the drivers flip down mirror light doesn't illuminate when the car is in drive.....once you go to park it will fade in.

The seatbelts don't have a moving belt buckle, they have twin retractors so you can move in one motion and never have to slide the buckle around.

The seats are insanely nice and have massage, in an 04 lol!

The rear view mirror is power memory and can still be hand adjusted.

The selection control **** will only rotate the number of options on screen, if you have 3 options it will let you turn it one detent left and one right....if you have 8 it will only let you rotate the amount of detents to each side that matches the setting. It's mechanical control as well so it physically adjusts how much the dial can rotate!

The REAR seats have power adjusting memory headrests, and massage.

The individual vents have ability to adjust how much air they have flowing at you like the primitive little spin wheels on most cars but when set to "off" the vent has a cover that lowers over it.

There is so much more as well but it's truly insane how good it is, the finest car I've ever owned from the perspective of quality and attention to details.

1 of 79 4 seater W12s

 

Hey AJT one upped you, he parks a car on his front lawn LOL.

 

That’s my side yard lol. I pull cars up to the side as if there’s a concrete spot.

You’d have to see the whole lot/area.

 

My friend picked this up. Finally he’s listening to my advice and won’t change the rims. Haven’t seen it in person yet.

 

Cool! I do kind of miss the white. Interested to hear how the 21s ride...

 

I’ll let you know, I’ll go over some expansion bumps. The W222 I was in a few time rode like a freight train.

 

I’ve never ridden in a freight train before so I don’t know if that’s a compliment? lol

 

Love the Pheaton! Such a beautiful car. Also, I’m fascinated by those cupholders! How come those didn’t catch on?

 

The Phaeton was indeed a slick car inside and outside, but it didn't sell because luxury-sedan buyers (foolishly, IMO), pretty much ignored the VW nameplate on it. Never mind the fact that you could get a W12 version for about 30 or 40K less than what the BMW 7-series and Mercedes S-class V-12s were costing back then.

That wood trim, in particular, is beautiful. Automakers seem to have forgotten what a nice wood interior is like.

 

And thank god for that, because the luxury automakers went way overboard with it in a lot of cases in the 2000's.

 

The same era S class is a cheap toy compared to this as well, the blind quality is in a different universe.
