well as long as the guy who drives it is disabled, otherwise we should find him, break his legs for parking in a disabled parking and then take the car as he won't be able to drive it with broken legs :lol:

Damn sexy car

Ever heard of Jeremy Clarkson :?: Well if not he is the host on the most brilliant car show named Top Gear. And the Nissan GTR thing is actually a Nissan Skyline GTR. Just the nicest and most desirable tuner on the market.

I was just kidding. :)

I saw that episode. I like that GPS it has in that disables all the governors in the car when it "sees" that it is on a race track.

One very nice car. And I like how you cannot rate the BHP on the cars, cuz the each car is hand made! Oh, and it gave Jeremy some neck pain! Woot!

No it's not. It's the Nissan GT-R. It's not called the Skyline at all.

It was meant to be the next skyline GTR, I think. They then decided to drop the skyline name and call it the GTR

The above is from what I heard/read, which was before it was even made

If he was disabled he would have spent all his money on a wheelchair/modifying his home to be disabled friendly/paying for a helper, all of which are very expensive and there for he could not afford it.

If he had a disabled passenger? He wouldn't. Sports cars are really hard for disabled users to use.
