Car of the Day

Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren

If you can forgive its long nose and awkward porportions, the SLR is a beautiful car to see in person In front of me one morning near Il Forniao was a half-million dollar, ultra fast exotic Mercedes Benz. But cloaked in deep dark black paint, you could be forgiven for walking by and not even noticing it. Unless, of course, the doors on open.

Car of the Day

Lotus Exige S240

Again, not the fastest or most expensive, but definitely one of the coolest. I see a lot of Elises running around town, but an Exige is a rare sight and always a head turner.

Car of the Day

Ferrari Dino

It was monday. It was gray and cloudy. And like a burst of sunshine, this bright yellow Ferrari cruised by my office window and brightened up my day. Okay, that was lame, but it is true. It was the first Dino I've seen in Palo Alto. They can still demand $150,000 on the open market.
