Haha.
What should we do today Achmed?
I don't know Ahmin, how about we go over the US and drive our fancy expensive cars across the country.
Sounds like a good idea to me!

I drove by on the way to work this morning and was shocked at how many more cars were there this morning.

Good pics! And thanks for the heads up on this...Nick forgot to tell me about it. Where are the pics of my beater??? lol. I ended up being the first one into the Ghost Bar since my friend knows the manager there....not that it should have been that difficult for anyone.

Did you get any pics of the Jaguar XJ220? OMG, I've never seen one in person 'til that night.

Yea we just stayed outside the entire night.. We had a blast!

No that wasn't there yet I guess. We left at about 10 and when I drove by the next morning the amount of cars doubled. I wish we could have seen that, I have always wanted to see one of those.

I gotta admit that the Veyron really didnt do it for me. It does not have the look of a super car IMO

wow someone actually drove a Bugatti Veyron across country??? They must be doing frequent gas stops along the trip...

Like some peeps have said, some people have so much money, they don't really know what to do with it..

A better example of how much money some participants had was someone who blew the engine in their Bentley. Rally over huh? rental? nope. They BOUGHT a new Bentley to finish the rally.

I think with the spoiler raised up, the car looks more "super". I'm thinking of even doing a nismo spoiler on mine...maybe.

I just emailed you my pics (which are not good)...lol. I did get to meet Max Cooper & get a pic with him....and also met Rodman.
