I love this picture, typical of south orange county. Notice the bottle in the foreground? Perrier. Even the litter is over the top down there

It nice to see your kids respecting his car, most would run up and put there face on the glass.

I believe the electric one was the testbed used by Tesla Motors. The battery, motor and controller are now what they use in the Tesla Roadster.

I'd buy one if I had 80k!

Is it just me, or is that an image of the Virgin Mary in that right front headlamp of the black 993TT?

David,

Thanks for the awesome photos. I haven't been to CC in a couple of months. Did you see Motion there? He usually is there a couple times a month with the F-car. Last time I was there, the turn out wasn't that great. I have only seen an Enzo twice besides the crash photos, one at the LA autoshow from afar and the other on the grass at the HB Concours two years ago. Beautiful cars.

Chris

We've been keeping the F-car away from the show because its just too busy these days. Besides, you need to be there at 6:15 AM to park in the main lot. Too early. Its nice to just drive the 993 or the Harley and take it all in without having to worry about the car. Seems the show is changing more and more each Saturday - more towards riced Acuras and Vipers and less Ferraris and Lambos

No, really I do.

Maybe just a woman with a hood holding a baby, I don't know for sure.

The driver's side headlight may be Jesus, but it takes a little more imagination - I guess.

Dear Lord, light my way.

I could not find the HID Xeon head light thread in which I saw something like this earlier. Also once read something about BMW Mini headlights, don't know if that was a joke.

Can anyone find the link for me?

Wow, those are some cool photos. Have any of you been to the Meilenwerk Auto Museum in Berlin? I was there a few weeks ago and saw so many exotics... a 959, 2 Enzos, some older rare cars, a few lambos, etc.
