For Sale is my 2001 MR2 Spyder  - Turbo'd with only 79k miles

I have enjoyed driving this MR2 spyder in the Colorado sunshine for around 8-9 years. I purchased the car when it had 23k miles on it from a person that moved to Colorado from California. So the car has always been in a dry climate. I have the title so we will not be delayed with bank transactions. With a curb weight of only 2190 the MR2 is very light. Add a turbo application and you create a very fast and fun ride.  The boost is currently at 10psi for winter driving. During the warm months the boost is  adjusted to 15-20 psi and produces 350 horse-power at the wheels. There has been allot of time and money invested into this ride. Below I have listed all the modifications I could think of and an estimate of what the cost for each option has been.  It is amazing how much money gets spent making our cars fun and I realize we don't get that money back when its time to resell. Below represents $12,730 of value just in parts without any labor cost. This car is offered at a great price!

I consider myself a very picky person with cars. My family has drag raced sport compact cars for many years with multiple magazine features and one of our race cars featured at SEMA. This car is very clean. No rust ever on the car. No tears or fading in the interior. The new convertible top was installed in 2013. There is one small ding on the front fender and door. There is also some paint that has flaked on the passenger corner of the front fender. This is a really nice ride and very fast. You can see I have 100% feedback most of which is buying. I have sold one car on ebay around 6 years ago that went very smooth. I have added a couple pictures from last spring you can see with the colors turning in the leaves. Also pictures I had of the parts when they were installed new.

Seller will be responsible for all transportation set up and cost. A $500 deposit is due within 24 hours of the auction ending. You are more than welcome to pick the car up here in Denver, Colorado. I also welcome any pre inspections at my home. The car does not come with any type of warrenty and I am not aware of any mechanical issues. Good luck bidding! Someone will end up owning a great car.

2014 Maserati Quattroporte goes on a night run

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

While it was in development, Maserati rolled out its 2014 Quattroporte for a little testing, but rather than slather the big luxury sedan in gobs of camouflage to protect from it prying eyes, engineers used the cover of darkness to conceal the vehicle's design. Then they made a video about their cleverness and posted it on the Internet. The team spent some time whipping around the Balocco Proving Ground with chief test driver Fabrizio Galvan at the controls to evaluate the sedan's new drivetrain, noise levels and handling in the real world.
We got our hands on the 2014 Quattroporte last month for a first drive ahead of the vehicle's North American debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. You can read our impressions here, but first, take a look at the video below for a new glimpse at the machine's development.

Little Red Racing Car Kickstarter project a father/son affair [w/video]

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

Tales of fathers and sons, whether told for adults or for children, never go out of style. It's appropriate then that The Little Red Racing Car, a story about a father and son finding and restoring a 1955 Maserati 300S, is such a stylish piece of work.
Author Dwight Knowlton first started working on The Little Red Racing Car when, after his son was born, he "went looking for the perfect Father/Son/Car book" and couldn't find one. Knowlton's artwork in has been influenced heavily by vintage automotive advertising and Grand Prix posters, and has a very clean, art deco vibe as a result.
Of course, TLRRC is still just a work in progress. Knowlton is hoping the Kickstarter community will help to get the ball rolling, and raise $25,000 to the book printed and distributed. The author even has a stretch goal to have the whole shebang made into and animated film - we love big dreams. Follow on below to hear Knowlton's pitch in his own words, or jump over to his Kickstarter page to look further or buy-in.

This is our clearest look yet at the next Maserati Quattroporte

Fri, 02 Nov 2012

The best look we've had at the next Maserati Quattroporte so far was found in patent drawings that could have substituted for a whole lot of other cars. But seen here is a more useful glimpse, courtesy of someone on the lookout in Italy who caught a prototype in a skin-hugging wrap.
Maserati has apparently gone with the Charles Eames philosophy on the redesign: "The details are not details. They make the design." The overall line is familiar - not such a bad thing even on this 10-year-old sedan - but the detailing appears to have been refined and made sleeker. The taillights themselves should make for an especially interesting feature if the camo'ed car can be trusted.
The next Quattroporte is predicted to be roughly 450 pounds lighter than the current car, and underhood grunt is expected to come from a 520-horsepower, 5.2-liter turbocharged V8 at launch, followed by a 420-hp, supercharged V6 supplied by Ferrari, both working through an eight-speed ZF transmission.
