Got all the D4s in formation for pictures, somewhat hard to do because I usually only keep one at a time at my house. The LS460 is very likely leaving the fleet soon

Those Hemi-powered supercars are probably still sitting on the lot because they just can't move them, especially with the classic big mark-ups some dealers want. Many people are having so much trouble today just making ends meet and paying all the bills each month that they just don't have much disposable cash to spend on 800-HP dragsters that cost an arm and a leg to buy, an arm and leg to fill up at the gas station, and two arms and two legs to insure.

I bet they’ve all been snapped up by people that want them knowing that they were going away.

Plenty of people out there who still have the ability to buy cars, if that weren’t the case we would see sales overall decline and we haven’t.

Next time I'll do better lol!

This was purely a "oh they are all here, let's throw them into the middle of the road really quick" type of thing. I want to get some rolling shots in a tunnel at night with all 3 in formation but that requires more planning

I just bought a bottle as well but the small bottle. Pretty expensive glass cleaner for $30 including shipping but based on everyone’s experience here I had to try it. I can’t help but try things based on recommendations here because I don’t have time to research and try things myself.
