Besides getting some face time with General Motors' Ed Welburn and the Cadillac Elmiraj Concept, the funny man and his film crew managed to make off with the new Porsche 918 Spyder. Now,... who else is as excited as me? ---

Don’t get me wrong, love the car and would cut off a nut to own one BUUUT the original F1 is still a better car IMO. Not just going off performance specs and stuff either. ---

Yeah got to sit in the FINA F1 GTR as well. I have to say that the P1 is a technological piece of art in the automotive world, but the F1 had just a level of design and hand craftsmanship that I think will never be touched again. Closest thing today I think is the Pagani Huayra. Call me nuts but I ordered one of the leather bound F1 books a year after the car debut. I paid stupid money for it and it’s worth even more stupid money now. On the flip side of it though, it does go into great detail from the cars initial design to the race history of all of he series(F1, GTR, GTRLT, and the LM) and I never get bored reading it cover to cover, again and again. ---
