Am I the only one who thought the "bolt" referred to, y'know, actual bolts? It made me think metal, mechanical, robotic.

Something tells me it's probably another kind of bolt.

If I had any clue about the German language, I could perhaps qualify to make fun of the name. But as is, I think it's a pretty 'cool-sounding' name.

There was curiosity when the first "Batman-the ride" came out. Now that type of thing is standard. El Toro is a bit off too, if you look at it from a different angle. Which angle, I have no clue.

It sounds cool and is a play on words kinda like Sooper Dooper Looper. Matty likey!

Hopefully the ride doesn't suck. ;)

Maybe Dave doesn't like the name because spell check insists on putting a squiggly red line under it, as opposed to actually recognizing Verboten as being correct. ;)

I really, really like that logo. It very clever. The bolt is in the V. V bolt in. lol

Actually, that is a real German word. It means "driving pleasure".

Likewise; it's a really well-designed logo. Eye candy, to boot.

I can appreciate Fahrvergnügen, but I'm kind of partial to 人馬一体.

Yeah, I thought we were all on the same page there.

Zoom Zoom!

That's a real English phrase that means "to move quickly, to move quickly!" ;)

Although I liked my "5" it never moved that quickly.

Neither did my MX-5, but it was the most fun I've had on four wheels. My 3 moves, though...cuz it's got Speed. :) Probably not as much as Gonch's car, though.

It may have Speed - but my gas guzzling Envoy is more comfy.

Zoom-Zoom?

Zoom-Zoom!

Man I love that car.

My old '93 Ford Explorer doesn't break down a lot. lol

Actually, it runs really well for a vehicle that is almost 20-years-old. I gave it a tune-up a few years ago, and now I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across the country.

Gonch's car is pretty sexy though. I've always wanted one of those, and they are reasonably priced too.

We called that the Ford "Exploder"

Yes they are. Just don't be a lame ass and get the base model. Everything that makes the car awesome comes further up the line. Don't be the guy driving the LS around. And you need the RS package - the new Camaro without the halo lights is a sin.

So basically $30k to start playing for real...and I'm not an engine snob - most car folks are.

You're looking at $40k to get into a nicely equipped SS and $50K for the new ZL1 coming in 2012.

I, however, am more than capable of killing myself with the standard 312hp that the V6 pumps out and thus, I went for looks/gadgets over more power. :)

My car is both fast and comfy. Yay!

Fixed that for ya.
