If the van's a rockin'.....

.....don't come a knockin'.

Today was Cars and Coffee and of course I was there bright and early.  There were lots of cars as usual, but there were very few that I hadn't seen before.  I was mildly disappointed.  :(

Somebody had the bright idea that it would be cool to pimp a $500,000 Mercedes McLaren SLR:

There were Cadillacs there that were just as outlandish.  Who lowers and pimps a Cadillac?  (Oh, I forgot...the Dallas Felons are on strike.  Now I know what they're doing with all their strike/lockout time.)

While I'm not that impressed with new Camaro's as a rule, I must admit this one had a dynamite paint job.  (Click any picture to enlarge.)  Five bucks says it's never seen a Walmart parking lot.  

I'm more partial to classic understated elegance, like this 1965 Porsche 356.  If it were for sale, and if I had a few spare coins, I'd love to have it.  Isn't she a beaut?  (Yes, she....female.  Only females can be "beauts".)

Or maybe this Jaguar E-Type.  Has there ever been a car more beautiful?

Tonight K and I are going to the Angelika to see Carla Bruni and her supporting cast in Midnight in Paris.  I'll have a review for you sometime later.  

Hope you're staying cool and having fun this weekend.

Regards,

S

Fun weekend ahead

To most people the weekend means Saturday and Sunday, but MY weekend starts today. Yes, I do have to work today, but the fun ahead is almost close enough to smell, so I'm just gonna whistle my way through Friday, too.

Tomorrow morning I'm meeting my friend Neil at the monthly Cars and Coffee get together. Last month there were nearly a thousand interesting cars there, a real petrolhead's nirvana:

After that I'll swing by home and pick up the lovely and talented K, and we're headed to the Cottonwood Arts Festival. It's close to home, free, and actually one of the better ones around. Somewhere along the way we'll have lunch, too. I'm thinking 'Junk Food on a Stick'.

Sunday is strickly for R&R, that is if I don't have to go to work for a few minutes. I think I'm going to conveniently "lose" my phone for the day. *wink*

I'll share car pics on Saturday and Art Fest pics on Sunday, if anyone is interested.

What do you have planned?
