Pictures from yesterday






Notice that this most recent photo is of a 2007 Shelby GT. Ours, pictured at top, is a 2008 Shelby GT. You'll notice subtle differences.

Unlike the other vehicles pictured, this one was unlocked and I was able to snap a photo of the interior, as well as sit in it. (not pictured: somewhat unique orange/blue striped Cooper S next to pictured vehicle. It was a manual, so I would have preferred it be unlocked. It wasn't.)

Regrettably, this example was an automatic transmission. Hard, uncomfortable seats, and was somewhat claustrophobia-inducing for me, even in extended Clubman format. In a horrifying turn of events, the prospective car purchaser of the family liked the interior, stating "it's kind of cool, in a steampunk-ish kind of way!". I don't get it. Central speedo? Really? Oh wait... nevermind.

Moving on...
This one was locked also.

We also saw a pristine Mercury Marauder, a Grabber Blue 2010 Mustang GT (the owner liked our admiration very much), a Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG, an MB GL450 (sorry H_H! Pictures next time, I promise!), a Toyota Supra Turbo, and several restorodded and very nice Fox-body Mustangs. Good day.

    I must take issue with your description of the "atrocious" Mini. I liked it better than the one you pictured. It was about as sporty as a Mini Cooper could get, and had a colorful and chrome-y interior. And it was NOT on the back of a flatbed truck. :)

    And I forgot to mention - I LOVE that yellow Solstice GXP. It's so beautiful. Sigh.

    I didn't get much of a look at the interior of the other one, which is truly unfortunate because the website has no interior shots. :( Road trip! Strangely, orange with blue stripes is not available on the new ones. One thing's for sure, that paint job will mean that nobody will be able to stop looking at it, flatbed or no flatbed. :)

    Me too. It's gorgeous.

    Ah - dealer website visit reveals, in addition to that Supra Turbo, there's a 1981 Firebird Trans Am hiding somewhere around that dealership. It's blue, so it might have hidden itself by blending into all those Mercedes. Hehe. I crack myself up.

If you're actually an automated spambot who wants to peddle purses and stuff like that to my loyal readers, BUZZ OFF.

Everyone else may feel free to comment.
