Rails Creator's New Custom Hypercar

But... but... but... they're not a <i>startup</i>! They're just a... a... <i>small business</i>!<p>Must be all that crazy <i>blog money</i> they have pouring in. I'd have a car built by spacemen too if I had an award-winning blog!

To those who don't know of DHH's passion for cars - he is a huge car guy! He races Lamborghinis on the weekends - He has/had a White Gallardo LP560-4 that he raced at Autobahn Country Club.

Wow! That looks pretty awesome. It's interesting to see what buy/do to express themselves when they have the money. Personally, I couldn't care less about fast cars but I'd be straight onto one of those Red Bull Air Race planes and a private airfield. What would you do?

37 Signals go truly rockstar, from their "Appetite for Destruction" beginnings they're entering their "Use Your Illusion" period, just hope they don't end up going the way of "Chinese Democracy"

The first paragraph of the article basically says the only reason it is a custom car is because of US rules and regulations, but then the end mentions he will never drive it in the US and it will stay in Italy..

I like driving a great deal and have thought about buying something serious but can't get over how radically ten reliability drops on cars that are much over $100k.<p>My favorite so far, though, is the GT-R. It drives like a video game. If I owned one I am sure I sure I would get in trouble, though.<p>There are some really great old cars out there that are not particularly expensive. I am looking around for an e30 or e36 m3...

While tacky, this makes me wonder what the market is for custom built cars. You always see these nifty concept cars that never see the light of day. Yachts are already custom built, this would be a sort of... land-yacht, I suppose, occupying the same niche in terms of status signaling toys, while at the same time being more practical.

<i>Fuck You Money</i> for EU citizens

Is that a rocket engine a la batmobile?<p><a href="http://www.secretentourage.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/zonda3-copy.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.secretentourage.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/zo...</a>

My esteem for DHH just fell a few notches. What a tacky, ugly, gratuitous waste of money. Obviously he's entitled to spend his money however he likes but this doesn't show much class.
