No shit, he loved the model name. This is a true story...

Ditto. I've owned spatulas that were more exciting.

I saw a Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer on the way home from work a couple weeks ago, then saw the same car again near the office a couple days ago. I think its one of the earlier ones -- similar to the pic below, but a slightly darker blue:



I also saw an Aston Martin Rapide for the first time last weekend. Gorgeous...

Saw an Aston Martin V8 Vantage convertible, which is a great looking convertible.

We see a guy that has one when we're at Starbucks occasionally on weekends. He got it about the same time I got my Porsche -- and his AM is a similar color as my 987 and we chatted cars for a few...
