The other online guys don't know a damn thing about cars, which is kind of a shame because men are supposed to know shit about cars. It's kind of built into our genetic code that we know how to tune up our vehicles (minus the new computer controlled ones), change a flat, install your own aftermarket transmission cooler, etc. So when a guy tells me he doesn't know anything about cars my inner voice calls him an enormous wuss while my outer voice calls him an asshole.
Road & Track (one of my magazine subscriptions. d-uh) has the first look at one of Tony Stark's cars in the upcoming Iron Man 2.
R&T has more:
This is the Stark Industries-sponsored vintage race car that the movie's main protagonist — genius inventor and swashbuckling lady's man Tony Stark — will be driving in a scene that depicts him racing in the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, a vintage race held in Monte Carlo. The scene is not being filmed on the actual streets of the tiny, glamorous seaside principality near the south of France, but on an elaborate set that replicates the Monaco circuit. We're not sure what the Stark Industries car, which is built to resemble a '70s racer, is based on exactly, but this image leads us to believe that a fully functional race car — perhaps a Formula Ford or Formula Mazda car — resides beneath that blue-and-white Stark Motor Sports livery. Check out the Avon racing slicks and transmission sticking out the back of the car beneath the rear wing.

We've seen the picture of Mickey Rourke as Whiplash on a race track, so this must be where they first meet? By the way, did you know the hot rod he works on in the first film is actually Favreau's car?
Looking forward to Iron Man 2!!
