awesome pics tammer!
Thanks Henry. The lighting sucked but I am still impressed that a phone can take pics this clear. I have to agree with you on the McLaren . Its totally underwhelming when you see it. It doesn't give you that feeling that you should get when you see an exotic car. It was insane though the way a huge crowd formed around the car as soon as it pulled in. Nobody has ever seen one on the streets yet. The Aventador and the 458 Italia are my favorites. I loved the GTRs but the car doesn't have the presence that the Italians have. I drove for at least 4 miles along side the 458 and it is the most beautiful car I have ever seen. In person there is not one angle that didn't appeal to me. The owner of the Aventador and 458 had be less than 32. The Aventador owner looked like he was in his 20s. All

I finally stopped working Saturdays. I feel like a new man. Every weekend is like a vacation. I have been working Saturdays for 12 years straight. I didnt realize how much it sucked until I stopped

Its at the bottom of the long run of pics. I took the picture as the owner was leaving with the car. I seriously had to stop myself from screaming like a little girl when I saw it. ( Like I did when I saw the 458 on the street)

People bash the Ferrari 458, but if you go up close as in these pictures it's actually quite exquisitely styled in person.

They have no idea because they have never seen one. I was even telling a couple of other people I met at the show that I have never eve seen a model that was released that made the previous generation look so soft , dated, and undesirable . There was a red and a black one and I have to admit I was blown away at how much nicer it looks in black

here are a few more pics I left out. I wanted to add more photos of the 11-12 million dollar 1958 ferrari TR race car. Every person attending could not believe that the owner drove it to the meet and that he was so kind to share his rare jewel with the rest of us

a couple more random shots. Gotta love the Arizona weather. It was a beautiful sunny day . The temperature was in the low 70s and we were all in heaven with these beautiful machines and the beautiful weather.
