Saturday Car Bonanza…

Hit C&C, HRE Open House and the Encore 5Axis charity event on Saturday…let’s start with C&C.

One of my buddies (you may have recognized his original 458 from a shoot almost a year ago) scooped up another 458, this time white…so it was yet another chance to get the homies together and hit C&C. I feel bad for my neighbors whenever this happens since it’s always an early 7:30AM call at my house and you’ve got loud cars and guys smoking and laughing on my driveway, all good though – they’ve never complained and I think I’m usually a decent neighbor. LOL.

An eclectic group of vehicles…458 rollin’ in at 3 o’clock, 300ZXTT, E63, F430, 996 Cab and Ford Raptor (Not Pictured)

You know you’re optioned to the hilt when you’ve got leather sleeves for the seat belt locks LOL.

Nice GMG GT2RS – I believe they call it the WC-GT2RS. Lots of letters = lots of dollar signs. $$$$$

Like I said in a previous post, they bring EVERYTHING out to C&C nowadays. “Not of this world” – was waiting for this guy to just gun it and run up the hill onto the 5 Fwy south…

Trading babies for SuperLeggera’s…totally worth it.

Grandaddy Lambo: pre-scissor door era.

I see this NSX every so often…always clean, great brakes, nice setup. Advans!

MBZ was the feature marquee – checkout the new CLS63. I see some Maybach DNA on those fenders…and the guy walking by apparently smells something bad.

SLS | SLR – choose your weapon. Arling is apparently choosing the SLS 🙂

Not a bad choice from this angle AW.

My other buddy Kev brought out his new Panerai 339…and asks me to take a pic of it with the 458. Don’t worry, I got approval to set the watch on the car first LOL.

Then I got this “brilliant” idea to take a shot of his watch in the rear view camera…I say “brilliant” because I wasn’t aware that I’d have to start the car. Awesome that my friends trust me with their new rides, but not awesome to have to stick it in reverse and hold the brake while telling Kev to hold his wrist still. LOL.
Hilarity ensued because:
1. Everyone got a pic of me starting up and sitting in the Ferrari (I’m a Lambo guy)
2. We looked like a bunch of idiots playing with expensive toys.
3. Kev couldn’t keep his wrist still.

Quick shot of the F430 and the F458.

On the way to Lee’s…wouldn’t you know it? We ran into the friggin PRESIDENT!

In the Lee’s lot…AW’s new Raptor and the 458. Gas LOVIN. Kev in the shot, surprised I can’t see the time on his watch from here LOL.
