Yes there were a couple of nice GTRs and several German cars, but yes, mostly American cars.

anecdote i heard about that amazing red viper... owner damaged the hood somehow... (hope you're sitting), $25K to replace. It's all carbon fiber.

It’s not just the hood that results in the high cost, it’s also the paint color. That looks like Stryker Red which is a $15k option on the Viper, it’s like 9 stages of paint.

Where was this Harley dealership? Tampa Bay Area I'm assuming. Looks like nice layout. Do they have them there often?

Newer versions of the I-Phones seem to take much better shots than the older ones did. I notice the difference between my I-Phone-7 and the old I-Phone-3 I had for years.

it's in Ocala, FL. I believe it's one of the largest Harley dealers anywhere.

I don't have an iPhone. but yes, iPhones have come a long way and continue to get better. Newer iPhones will blow away your 7.

When I see a Challenger at a C&C event this is what I think of, happened in April this year at Loveland, CO C&C

so locally they just announced they're going to have night time cars and coffee too, and it's a perfect location (a very large outdoor shopping area with some huge parking lots).

i'm more of a night time guy than an early morning person.
