    There is NOTHING "super" about that event. Nothing whatsoever. They should change the name to Weekly Poseur Gathering...

    What a joke.

    I don't know about that. Last event had a Lamboghini Miura, and this RS200.... I consider those to be "super" cool.

    Wesley Snipes said it best in White Men Can't Jump when he said, "The sun even shines on a dog's ass somedays."

    The RS and the Miura are truly super, but those moments are so few and far between that I've become sour on the event. There was a time when you used to have to ask if the Cobra was real, or how someone fabricated a part, or even how long it took to find and restore an old car. Now it's mostly bolt on parts, sticker kits and wraps, "stance" idiots, and showroom hardware with too much grease on the tires and the owner's forehead.

    A needle in a haystack does not a pincushion make.

    And; "The sun doesn't shine on the same dog's ass every day". (Thanks, dad.)

    You should see what shows up at an event like this in Florida. This looks "understated" compared to most of the hideous creations. Heck some of the drivers have more adornment than this poor car.

    Wow Marco... You're full of fun cliche's... Well done.

    Yes, Woodland Hills has more clown cars that skilled artisans, but I still go when I can. To me, I just like cars, so an assortment with 10% cool cars, is still a good morning.

    Here's a couple shots from the monthly Palos Verdes gathering....much smaller than Supercar, or CC Irvine, but there are some nice cars squirreled away in Palos Verdes....

    Now THAT I can get behind ... just wish I could get down there one morning. What're the details, again?

    And, yes, I've got a backlog of fun quotes and cliches.
