Aston Martin DBS V12

I must have the best view in Palo Alto for car watching. Just past the edge of my desk, through the floor-to-ceiling window, rolls a DBS hot off the presses. It's brand-new for '08 and replaces the Vanquish as Aston's flagship model. Not surprising, it looked exactly like the one pictured above.

Ferrari F355 Spyder

One of my all-time favorite Ferraris. I saw this one was parked just outside our office. It was blue on blue with black interior, very subtle, but the giant chrome prancing horse and round tail lights on the backside just screamed "Ferrari!".
