Cars are sexy too....

Earlier this week, Mark & I were on an errand heading home and came across this serendipitous car show.  I suspect that they gather once a month, maybe once a quarter, in the parking lot.  Dad, if you can, let me know what kind/year these sexy beasts are:



We can't decide if this is a Chrysler or an Alfa Romeo...

Purple & Flames = AWESOME!

I think this is close to the color you want your car painted....


There were a slew of trucks, along with some newer cars as well.  All were sparkling and their owners were sparkling too, and rightfully so.  The rumble of big V-8's were heard easily a couple blocks away.

The next day, I was headed to work, and there on 880N in San Jose was this car (blocking traffic!):


For those of you, like me, who recognize EXPENSIVE when you see it - this is a Buggati Veyron.  Only 300 were pre-ordered, and they aren't finished building those yet.  Volkswagen is building them, and according to Top Gear, it costs $5M  to build.  Volkswagen is selling them for $2M - talk about a loss leader.  They have about 1000 horsepower, and top speed is estimated to be 400 Kph (about 250ish mph).  This poor soul was stuck at 50 mph in traffic. 

Le Sigh.
