Isn't that amazing? People's reactions to things like that...
It's like people have seen one too many ww2 movies and just went off the deep end.

I facepalm when I see people get stuck in the "nazi bad" regurgitation loop.
Going down that path, people who make plastic ww2 models including german vehicles with era appropriate markings, are nazis.

I've seen actual nazi paraphernalia all over the place in poland. Not a single time did anyone read into it. I'm actually blown away by how taboo that subject is here, considering history. (I have the impression it's more taboo in germany.)

I hope that guy doesn't have all his restoration effort wasted by some enraged movie goer.

I saw a yellow Gallardo on the way into Winchester for the AR Fab dyno day, then coming back saw a red F430 Sypder on 66 on the way into DC.

I saw an honest-to-god slant nose pull out of a secret driveway in crystal city.

Maybe it was meeting up with the other bad guys going after Condorman!

I love the slant noses...very hot!

Couldn't tell. I guess I lied about it being on the beltway - it was actually on route 29. It was headed south while I was going north. Too fleeting to catch the plates.

Aston Martin DBadasS outside the Mayflower hotel.
Was waiting for this hot as snot girl to come out (him, not me), and as if the car wasn't conspicuous enough for her to pick out of the taxi line, instead of honking he blipped the throttle.
Everyone looked, even the motorcycle cop across the street.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

A blue Tesla on the toll road this week on the way home. Wasn't too fond of the blue on it...looked much worse than in this pic:

I saw what I think was a Bentley Continental Flying Spur (it was a 4 door Bentley, that much I'm sure of) waiting in front of me at the light on the 6th St SE exit. by the time I got my iPhone unlocked the light turned green.

Finally got a shot at that R8 that lives near me. Sorry for the blurryness. Forgot I had it on the macro setting.

this morgan was driven to a cross dressing cricket match in the uk. it was very sweet.

saw this chevy truck at the imperial war museum - it had been abandoned in the desert in wwii and just sat there and baked. it was puled out in the 80's or 90's, as i recall. it was pretty sweet to see how preserved it was.
