Sadly no pics (was doing the JP Morgan Corporate Challenge race, so I had nothing on me), but we went walking around made a corner and right there, in front of a restaurant in Boston was a red 458 Spyder with the top on.

God damn, that's a sexy car. You realize how different the shape is compared to other cars, when parked in the city among normal vehicles.

No kidding. Not a spyder but his was a few days ago in my neighborhood. Clearly he was dazed and confused and lost. But gorgeous.

That IS the spider. It has a removable hardtop. On the coupe, the roofline continues smoothly to the back of the car.

I saw my first BMW i8 today. Funky car but . . . doesn't do a whole lot for me.

Not like the Aston Martin Vantage S I saw at the tile store the other day. Damn exquisite car.
