This is actually the second SLS I've seen; the first was behind me on Mt. Vernon Dr. in Del Rey, Alexandria, of all places (it's a nice enough neighborhood, but not where you'd expect to see an SLS).

This guy did have a handicap placard, so he is not the asshat he might first appear to be.

Later that day, in the same parking lot, I say an Aston Martin DBS on temp tags, and a CTS-V coupe (though that was there as part of a Cadillac event).

The CTS-V coupe's Recaro seats really are something else, and the "saffron" interior in that car is pretty cool, too.

I saw an SLS in West Hartford last week.... it was a really nice looking car!

Not sure this will work, but we'll find out...

1973 Cadillac. Is it an ambulance? Or is it a hearse?



It's both!

I guess with all those old foogies in Florida, these multi use vehicles make a lot of sense

Well isn't that convenient.



Saw an Aston Martin up in my neighborhood, which was unexpected.

Saw this on my walk to the office in Geneva this AM... First one I've ever seen. Not nearly as pretty in person as I expected it to be based on the pictures. I also saw an Alfa 8c (again disappointing in the flesh) Franck Muller's FXX (which is bad ass) and an F430 Challenge car. Good morning for car candy.

A Rapide (looks great in the flesh), another Zonda, a Spyker Aero, a 458 and 2 Koenigseggs.

Notably ugly IMO. Is this Porsche's version of Phoenix Yellow?
