Isn't that a VW Thing?

And on the exotics report...I was in Laguna Beach for a few days. Exotics are all over the place there. In just four days, I saw over 10 Bentleys (including the new sedan and convertible), a couple of Lambos, 5 Ferraris, a couple of Cobras (usually, I'd say "replicas" but who knows out there), a Rolls Royce, and 5+ Maseratis. It was retarded.

My first thought was "where does this guy get a hydrogen fill-up?" But then I remembered that the car also has a gasoline-powered mode. My second thought was "Hindenburg." I wouldn't want to own one.

But you could persuade me to get an M3 Sedan.

Yeah I saw him/her one night parked on 14th street. Granted I was across the street, didnt really look like the German ambassador.

Seen that RR a few times...

There is a guy in Ashburn Village who I saw his garage...


Ferrari 599 GTB
Merc S 63 (I think... New s class AMG, but not the V12)
Gallardo Spyder
Chevy Tahoe


... the kicker... It was in a three level, two car garage townhome


His garage was wide opened as I passed, and Ive seen those cars there on more than one occasion...

I was behind a guy test driving a graphite/black Lambo Gallardo Supraleggra just this morning on Waxpool/Rte 28...came out of the Ferrari/Maserati/Lambo dealer.

Since I was driving my monster Nissan Xterra SUV from the Nissan dealership (60,000 mi checkup time)...I decided NOT to race him...no time for pix either as he 'test' drove the living sh*t out of it.

Good times.

As you guys know, it's not all that unusual to see Bentley coupes from time to time around here -- but I drove next to a new-looking Bentley Continental GT convertible coming home from work. Gorgeous car.

I seem to see the same guy with one everyday. I always see one of those and an Aston Martin, but I do work in Georgetown. The Bentley isn't all that great, but the Aston is awesome.
