Default Look at what I spotted(pics)

This was sitting in my schools parking lot. Boy does this machine have a presense and sits very low.It's a Noble M12 GTO.These vehicles are only sold in the U.K. The only way to get one here is to get shipped in parts. The color is FREAKIN AWESOME!!! 'NOt sureon the horsepower but it runs 0-60 in about 3.9 seconds!!!! One thing I noticed....Are those Hyundai Sonata taillights?

Here are the pics.Enjoy!! Sorry the parking lot is dark.

well, teachers are quite rich...

back in school, I know many teachers and profs who drive pretty fancy cars. Had a finance prof
who drove a rolls royce. Also many other teachers with Ferraris and Porsches.

A teacher I know invented something, sold the patent, and made tens of million just on that one deal.

Most of them get their extra income through external projects as consultants, and also if they are researchers, and get a $50 million grant from NASA or Pentagon, that means they can pay themselves pretty well too.

Yes, but maybe not an art teacher. For many artists, their work aren't worth a lot until they're dead, if ever

Still, an art teacher can be born rich & teaches art as a hobby If some students can drive to school in a M3 or Porsche, why can't an art teacher drive a noble ?
