So dad was supposed to pick me up from school today after he had picked his new car from dealership, but the new car wasn't ready yet so the dealership loaned him a Tesla Model S. Yes I got a chance to sit inside a Tesla today. Here are couple of pics I took of it.

How was the new Mustang GT?
Surprisingly very good. Easy to drive, very comfy, interior didn't feel cheap, only big cons were the side mirrors are small and the touchscreen is the main focus point. You can change the climate control through it although it has it's own section right below it. I love the fighter jet-like switches at the very bottom although the steering feel and driving mode are a little harder to get to due to the shifter.

I test drove the ecoboost model. It was a fun drive, too bad the engine sound was fake.

That's actually the one I wanted to drive but they didn't have any yet :lol: they had 5 GT's, two were automatic. The one I drove also had the premium package.

Somewhat the complete opposite over here in FW :lol: there were a load of V6s and ecoboosts, with hardly any GT models around.

By the way, does anybody know what's the car in the last picture? I have been itching to know. It makes me think of the 365 GTC/4, but it's not the 365 GTC/4. I was thinking that perhaps it's not even a Ferrari underneath, and it's something else with a really well-made, custom Ferrari-esque bodywork. Or, it just happens to be a Ferrari I previously never knew...​

These ones are from a few weeks ago and I meant to post them but forgot. Went to my moms work to check out the Caterham but the are other goodies as well. Only had my gopro charged.

This is her bosses car which he hand made on a Maserati chassis. Most of the mechanical parts are Maserati as well.










Her bosses other car.



These few below are from yesterday.

Damn, I think I should check out my local BMW dealer soon. I want to know if they have any i8s.

Definitely worth checking. I only bothered because I thought I caught a glimpse of one out back when going by, checked the website and saw one in their inventory. Though had to wait for the unveiling, which they did yesterday.

Then went and found out they had two! :D
 
@Wiegert :0 a DeTomaso Longchamp! Howazit?
@NoobMan DS I can't believe what shows up at Car & Coffe some times. "yeah we're just hangin' out and then Danny Thompson's Challenger II makes the scene. Casual". wtf.

Also, I'll for one leave here a link (as it's useless to post them here in the forum since a gallery for the event is already created at the website I work for) to a set of pictures for the annual air-cooled VW pilgrimage event, Mexico's very own Treffen, which this year had the very special visit of the VW37 prototype directly from the VW museum in Wolfsburg:
