One of the perks living in San Jose. The occasional supercar. Sometimes I'll take a trip to Santana Row with my friends and walk around. RR Fantoms, Mclarens, Gallardos, Enzos... all in lime green with with neon lights and spinners.

Ah, the 20-something millionaire and billionaires. You just want to strangle them all out of hatred for what they do to those poor cars.

Gorgeous cars.
Reminds me of the time my daughter was attending a youth convention in Indianapolis. I was at home and got a text mail from her. She said she was down on Monument Circle and was looking at this really cool car, but none of her friends knew what it was. She sent me a pic of it from her phone's camera.

My daughter...standing next to a freaking Bugatti Veyron.

Love that Carrera GT. I'm wondering why that 3-series estate is sitting among all those Porsches.
