    Yes, yes, I'd say it does look better on her.

    The last Auto Show here in Philly was in late January 2020, a month and a half before the world went to hell from the lockdown. You were allowed to sit in Benzes, Range Rovers, Jaguars and Audis, but not Porsches, Rolls Royces, Bentleys or supercars. As for BMW, they stopped coming to the show after 2018. This year's show never took place, and so far, there's no word on if it'll return for '22.

    Nice! Anaheim last time didn't have Benz, Porche, Audi, but did have BMW M series, including the M5 which I sat in and didn't think was nice. For what it's worth, I also got to sit in a Jag F series, gorgeous car, but someone had set the seat to "very short person", and I was sort of convinced a sword blade would shoot out of the dashboard and impale me if I dared to reset the seat. Didn't like the Mustangs; the Challengers were nice, the Range Rovers very nice, and the Astons were...Aston Martin

    Shown is my dream car that is the Ferrari LaFerrari.


    A amazing looking car that has a very unique design including the curves, a hybrid with Fighter Jet looks which no other car in the world has, the long range mirrors on the sides, thin headlights, the Ferrari logo in the center bottom area, red mirrors, 950 Horsepower, flat steering wheel on top and bottom, also the steering wheel transmits a lot of information about the road, etc.

    Great car, but it could use a better name. Something dramatic and powerful, maybe with a racing pedigree.

    Argh! They cancelled the Orange County, (Anaheim), Auto Show because of the Delta variant which is currently on the downswing here. I was looking forward to that. The LA Auto Show is still on...but honestly, I expect it to be cancelled too.

    Saw me one of these yesterday, Say hi to the Mclaren P1, one of 127 the USA got. I've seen this same one before...and one other. Where I am probably has many of the rest as well, along with a dealership nearby the Ferrari/Maserati dealerships, and the Aston dealership till that one moved a few miles down the road.



    It was even that color. The pictures don't even do it justice; in person it's the most striking car I've seen.

    I certainly do. Looks a bit dangerous though...

    My hovercraft is full of eels.
    There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

    So you are a eel and sodium salesman then?

    Pretty sure I'd fall through those blades in the first thirty seconds I was on it, while crashing into a building or mountain at 60MPH. Even with those crossguards over the fans. I'd find a way to muck it up.

    It's Monty Python.

    Hmmm, what sketch? I love them, but it's been awhile since I've seen that show.

    The other was a reference to a Top Gear episode, wherein they took a look at buying cars for sodium and eel salesmen. Yes, or course this being top gear, the sodium did mix with the eel's water and exploded. Because that's how they used to roll... I don't know, it was funnier to watch then explain.

    The horsepower needed to make that thing fly would have to be crazy!

    Didn't think of that. It's a motorcycle engine? So maybe 130--160 HP? Is that enough? Also, how big would the cubes of person be after that thing crashes? I certain have seen Empire Strikes Back, and I know what happens with something like that...

    I'd still give it a go, though.
