Found on Insta, someone taking an e39 and grafting a new bucktooth nose onto it 🤦🏻‍♂️ Best comment: “Your craftsmanship is excellent. But you're doing the devil's work, sir. You've bought a Rembrandt and smeared it with a mental patient's diarrhoea”

New Corvette ZR1. Twin turbo 5.5 litre flat-plane V8 with an 8,000rpm redline. Producing… are you sitting down… 1064hp and 1120Nm of torque. In a warrantied, production Corvette. No hybrid system, that’s all dinosaur juice USA eagle power. Absolutely staggering!

And also, why do the elderly ALWAYS go at lunchtime. When they have all day, nothing else to do, and they go in the tiny window when working people have a break to eat and do all their life admin shit.
