Alex Choi decorated his Lamborghini Huracan

The end of the year is approaching and some will decorate the Christmas tree, some will decorate the house or yard with thousands of lights, and influencer Alex Choi decorated his Lamborghini Huracan.

Attracting attention is in human nature and everyone more or less strives to be the center of attention at least for a second, but not everyone is creative. Some people don’t like what Alex Choi does, but there will always be those who support this kind of creativity.

The influencer decorated the entire surface of his Lamborghini Huracan with 30,000 RGB LEDs, creating a light show that, along with 20 other decorated cars of his followers, created a light effect on the roads above Los Angeles.

Before hitting the road, Choi contacted a lawyer and checked if there was anything illegal in what he was doing. The lawyer said that everything was fine and Choi went out on the road with his followers.

1987 Porsche 911 Carrera coupe is up for auction

In 1984, Porsche presented the last iteration in the original 911 series and the replacement for the SC model, the 911 Carrera 3.2. It was produced until 1989, and over 70,000 units left the production line. One of them, a 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera coupe is up for auction.

This example is powered by a 3.2-liter M930/25 flat-six engine with 217 hp (162 kW) and 195 lb-ft (264 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a G50 five-speed manual transmission. Two years ago, the engine was serviced, which included replacing the fuel pump relay, alternator, drive belts, and air conditioning receiver-dryer. Oil, spark plugs, drive belts and deck lid struts were also recently changed. It is mounted on 16″ Fuchs alloy wheels wrapped in 205/55 front and 225/50 rear Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires.

The car is finished in Guards Red, properly maintained and in good condition. It is equipped with a rear spoiler, integrated fog lights, a rear window wiper, and heated power-adjustable side mirrors. Minor bodywork was recently done, which included the replacement of the third brake light and front lip, and the finishing of the driver’s door and left fender.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in black leather that also covers the door panels, dash and rear bench. In front of the driver is a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a six-digit odometer showing 74,774 miles. Additional equipment includes a Blaupunkt CD stereo, an alarm system, air conditioning, power windows, and cruise control, the latter of which does not work.

The car has a clean Carfax report that shows no accidents or other damage. It comes with service records, a car cover, spare parts, manufacturer’s literature, and a clean Arizona title.

The auction ends on December 27 and the highest bid at the time of writing is USD $70,000.

DeLorean DMC-12 with 700 HP

The DeLorean DMC-12 is a legendary car that gained fame in the film franchise “Back to the Future”, and is the desire of many car enthusiasts. One of them fulfilled his dream three years ago by buying a car and turning it into a truly outstanding example.

The owner restored the stainless steel body, and then chose a wide body kit that completely changed the appearance of this legendary car. Wide fenders, sills and massive bumpers are produced using a 3D printer and are connected with fiberglass. Inside, sports seats, cluster and door panels, which have been modernized, the central console has been changed, and Rstomod air conditioning controls have been installed. The car also got a Haltech IC7 display, while the rest of the interior has remained in touch with the ’80s when the car gained its fame.

When it comes to the powertrain, the owner removed the 2.8-liter V6 engine and installed a 5.3-liter LS Gen4 with about 700 hp (515 kW) mated to Porsche’s G96 transmission. It’s equipped with individual throttle bodies, 6061 plenums and a titanium exhaust system, and Skol SK17 wheels wrapped in 18×12 front and 17×10 rear Toyo R888R tires.
