Crazy, huh?

There was actually automobile Paparazzi forming on the corner across from the Bugatti just standing around taking pics of whatever turned up next. I left off the pictures of probably 15 S-Class Mercedes that I passed along the way as well.

The average age of these car owners appears to be late twenties / early thirties. Here is a pic of the local youth group:





That's all for today. I can make this as regular as xplantdad's Pavillions shots if I find anything else bizarre.

On the other hand, I'm fleeing the area to go over to Southern California again on Friday and will go to Donut Derelicts either this weekend or next, so I'll try to post pics of real muscle cars instead!!

Jeff...awesome pics. Holy crap...there a lot of new muscle there!

When you go to Cali...make sure to hook up with Mark Sheppard and Gary Perkins. You'll have a great time there.

Please make it a regular thing to photograph these cars...I don't think I've seen but one of these cars in person

The oil shieks and princes did buy some of Joel's cars didn't they?
Their kids have just moved up to the "New Muscle".

As I'm looking at my gas bills for the month, I see this
thread and immediately want to torch the whole lot of them - Cars & owners......
Thanks for getting me riled-up Jeff Just kidding

These bastards get richer than belief, flaunt it all over the place, and we get it in the back door......

Man, I'd love to see them come here and try flaunting like that.

Guys, I hate to say it, but we are going to have to give up
the gas guzzling SUV's and sport cars. It can't continue
like this. Somebody here better figure a way to run our
babies ( muscle cars ) on an alternative fuel.

Naw, You can't eat oil! All we have to do is stop sending them free food. Then we TRADE them the food for the oil!

Enough is enough! We paid for the oil with all of the
aid & security we bring to the region, not to even mention
our soldiers giving their very lives. So, let's just take
the oil and push them out.
