There was a car show today at my local Naval Air Museum. So, I forced myself away from Forza Horizon 4 to check it out.

I'm posting just the highlights, but the rest of my pictures are in this link.

Went to drop off a car at the nearby Ford dealership. Didn't expect to see an R8 on their lot, though it had Massachusetts license plates.

I went to a Ford car show in the northern part of Maryland. Though I got there late, so I didn't see much.

I thought I'd post this since interesting things always pop up in my Chevy showroom such as this:

Doesn't look like much but it's an IMMACULATE C5 Z06. Here's the kicker:

gZUBbcj.jpg


It has LESS THAN 8,000 ACTUAL MILES ON IT.

The car still smells like a new car. I'll never ever again see something like this outside of Barrett-Jackson/Mecum probably.

Local Porsche dealer had a Cars and Coffee event this morning. Lots of GT3s and whatnot, but the real gem was inside the showroom. Behind were matching chassis no. CGT and 918, and the 3rd GT2RS in attendance.
