...^^^... LOL ... That reminds of a crazy day stopped at a stop sign with a "newly restored red Falcon convertible" like the one below (about 25 years ago).

I was stopped at a stop sign behind the car and heard a loud "THUMP" in the middle of the trunk lid and the guy thought I did this to his newly restored car.

He came around his car and toward my car when I explained he was hit with a golf ball and pointed over to the guys playing golf a long way off on the golf course.

That ball was hit a very long way and put a perfect dimple in the middle of that trunk lid on the newly restored and painted Falcon.

The Falcon was a first year 260 V8 ... that I remember for sure ... maybe a 1963 1/2 ?? ..... Rounded fenders body style.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Case. In. Point.

 

We had #240 stop by the dealer today.

 

'59 Cadillac.

... ^^^ ... Per sticker at top ... basically $235k for a $150k base car is a lot of profit.

And dealer options were beyond crazy too ... but supply and demand ... someone will buy it.

I remember the days when a regular Corvette buyer could add a little more money and buy a NSX ... not so much today.

"That's funny, my name's Roger. Two Rogers don't make a right, haha! Roger, I have a problem. I've been in LA for about six months now. I have money, I have taste. But I'm not on anybody's A-list, and Saturday night is the loneliest night of the week for me!"
"Well a Ferrari would certainly change that."
"Perhaps. Hm. But you know, this is the one. Yes, yes, yes. I saw three of these parked outside the local Starbucks this morning, which tells me only one thing: There's too many self-indulgent wieners in this town with too much bloody money!
Now, if I was driving a 1967 GTB four-cam..."
"You would not be a self-indulgent wiener, sir...You'd be a connoisseur."
"Precisely. Champagne would fall from the heavens, doors would open, velvet ropes would part"

Must've watched that movie 1000 times as a teenager, haha!

 

I still watch it as an adult. Looooove it!

LB GP 2016

 

^Those pics make me slightly homesick, & the Tommy Burger stand made my stomach growl... The LB GP is a great event in a cool location!!! On a side note, Gerald Rivera will have his 1st Gen. Taco on the Velocity Ch. show "Unique Rides", sometime this season. I don't watch it, but I caught glimpse of the tailgate and new it was a taco...
