Lots of sports cars were like that, quite a few accually that only recently fixed that problem. Ferrari's imparticular were notorious for this. As long as your moving it's not an issue.


I take it you've never owned a white car?

Or a black car?

White is one of the easiest, if not the easiest to keep clean.

Black is by far the hardest.

 

Your cars are simply amazing, love the jag, alot, keep up the nice collection.

 

i own a black rx8.. its really hard to keep clean, but i never owned a white car so i would not know. but i thought it was.. thats def a plus then

 

that jag is beautiful!

 

WOW! that car is gorgeous!

 

lol

 

dat jag is pimp, would love to see a video of it

 

Wow, totally different cars, both very nice. I think the only thing else you need is a Monster truck to add to the collection.

 

Here's a pretty cool edit a guy did on another forum...difference is subtle but really cool IMO

 

AWESOME pair of cars you got there!!!

 

Nice cars man! That Jag is cool stuff!

 

awesome pics.... that black/white one is the best! haha.... how much is that jag worth anyways? what are the specs on it?
oh and i like how you took the mitsu diamond off the front...
