    Thanks for the assist. I do everything on mobile on the fly, so it can be a pain to correct.

    @jdMyers or anyone... What is the last car (purple looking color) in your latest sequence?  Definitely should get some handling feedback on your backside being almost on top of the rear axle.

    Are those last two pictures prototype drawings?

    The purple one's front grill looks similar to an Alfa Romeo.

    Rumors are going around that 1 of the 2 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe that were built just sold for $142 million.

    A good video I've watched in the past about the Uhlenhaut for anyone interested.

    And she puts her grubby hands all over it while wearing hangy jangly bracelets. As soon as she showed up with that jewelry on, I would have asked her to leave.  Reminds me of Danny Koker from Counts Kustoms with those bracelets.

    Okay, finally watched the rest of the video...The German mechanics non-chalant  behavior was awesome.  I forgive Super Car Blonde for her jangly jewelry.  The last few minutes where they start and drive it is gold.  Makes me respect Mercedes even more.  No way would an American company just fire up and immediately rev their car like MB did to warm it up.  I knew a guy with a 2002 Ford Mustang whose start up and warm up procedure was more onerous than that.  Awesome video, thank you for sharing.

    I just read that some states that require front license plates are now allowing license plate wraps for people who don't want to drill/screw into their front bumper. 



    I am moderately surprised that a state government actually changed a regulation in a direction that made things more convenient for consumers.  Props to California for getting something right.

    I understand this is just a concept car, but man... that design looks terrible to me.  It looks like something out of a Salvador Dali painting.

    Gawking at my B-I-L’s friend’s ride. He’s got a stable, but keeps most at his worksite. Not sure what’s going on with the photo orientation. 


    When did they introduce anti-gravity on the lambo?

    @jdMyers Love the cars you post here and your photography skills.
    Are you back to being mobile?  How is the recovery coming along?

    I know these are not exotic car spotting photos but some I took that were neat to me. Thought I'd share.  Dayton Ohio Wright Bros. Replica flyer as well.  That was neat.



    . 



    The company I work for made the two chains that drove the propellers on the original Wright Bros. Flyer.  One ran in a figure 8 so the propellers turned opposite directions.  That doesn't appear to be the case on the replica.  Awesome pictures!

    Interesting that the replica is flying backwards, unless the Brothers designed one that direction, too.

    Nice show @jdMyers is the parking situation any better than the Dayton air show in July?

    Same show.  And no.  I parked at Sandy's towing lot right off the highway.
