Hear a Lusso?

I’m sure we have said this before, here is another car that you’ve got to hear. It’s a symphony to any car lover’s ears. The engine sound alone should help your heart beat quicken. The start of this video is a lovely Ferrari 250 GT Lusso. What makes this video a bit different than others is their ability to capture the true sound of the engine revving freely as the driver gains speed while in a deserted L.A. It really makes you feel as if they took something from the movie “Drive”. Something else we enjoyed from the interview was the owner’s description of the start-up sequence. He even goes on to say that it’s a process that cannot be rushed! If you watch closely at the end you’ll see the driver rush the start-up sequence – what a shame. Otherwise turn up your speakers and let the sound radiate into your entire body. Ferrari Lusso sing us a song.

It’s coming…

Ever since the economic downturn there has been a strategic shift for automotive companies to produce even greater cars for the uber elites. Boy, are they hitting their marks. Here’s one that has really caught our eyes. We’re not really into concept cars, but this one produced by McLaren Automotive is really pushing toward the top of list.

One Car to Do It All

Jack Olsen has really made a name for himself over the past coulpe fo years. How did he do it? First start humble, then buy a Porsche, then show everyone online how to transform your two car garage into every man’s dream garage and finally, continue to be humble and share your success with others as you do all the work yourself, including working on the Porsche. I’m sure we have all seen this garage photo – yup, its Jack’s.

Jack is well known for his 12-Gauge Garage which now has its own dedicated website. But before it became the most well known garage on the internet it all started out with this small beginning: 12-Gauge Garage web forum, and inside that garage he built a lairy Porsche 911 nicknamed Black Beauty II (though I don’t recall reading that title). So enough about the garage and on with the best video capturing Jack’s Porsche that does everything a daily driver and weekend warrior would ever need to do.

Midweek Inspiration for an Adventure

Simply listening to this story helps to put everything into perspective – life is definitely short but it shouldn’t be spent entirely behind a desk or working away on an assembly line. It should be spent searching for an adventure and, who knows, perhaps by the end you’ll have your very own story to share. So on your next Sunday Drive think of Gunther Holtorf’s adventure.
