Yup. Dan, who used to be the head mechanic at By Design, started Speed Gallery about a year or two ago. Sam from By Design currently works...
Unless you know for sure that th Feds raided them, you might be mixing up the police arresting one of the body shop guys that worked for By Design...
You should. In light of what I wrote above, it is a fun weekend car to have and drive.
This is just an estimate and what the guy said. It might be closer to 180 or 190 HP. Which is still enough considering how light the car is. I...
That's what I was thinking.
How about the previous By Design showroom on Sunset Blvd that is now Redline Motorsports? Is this still By Design with a new name.
What Ferrari do you have?
My dad was very interested in buying one. I have a poster in my room of James Dean posing by his 550 Spyder with the "Little Bastard" sticker on...

Thanks for the info Darth. I speed there ALL the time. At least I used to.
In the early 90's, MJ was featured on the show NBA Inside Stuff and showed him betting out of a black 512TR. That's all I know but I'm sure he...
My friend who lives up the street from that house told me that it's Tommy Hilfiger's house. But it might be Ralph Lauren's house.
Helped several of my friends get out of tickets. In one instance, the CHP just rolled up next to my friend, shook his head, and drove off....
I don't know what Ferrari calls it but Titanium looks really good with the navy blue interior, especially if you have the daytona inserts
My friend who lives up the street from there told me that Tommy Hilfiger lives there. He's not a 100% though. Nice collection there. There's...
