It was likely an earlier iteration.  Another case of me without my camera.  D-ooh

I need one of these for my next blast to Vegas

Dr. Gonzo

Vegas, baby! A new Pagani Zonda, obvs. Failing that, a “Government Approved High Speed Testing Vehicles” sticker will have to do.

Why Yes, They’re Real

I’ve got a love-e-ly bunch of coconuts…

Dr. Gonzo

diddle dee doo

There they are all standing in a row

Black ones, red ones, one with a $5,000 crack in its dash requiring a windshield removal to repair…

True story:  I’m at the dashboard place getting a thing for my other thing.  This guy with a British accent speeds up in a Series III XJ.  He’s there to pick up a black dash cover for a Ferrari TR.  Why?  Because (the story goes) it has a crack in the dash at the base of the windshield.  The cover will make it pretty, and the new owner can give Ferrari the 5 large it will take to pull the windshield and fix it.

Or not, one supposes.

Oh, THAT?! Don Johnson saw it and knifed it during a coke binge after Miami Vice was cancelled, is what I’m told. I would repair it, but it really adds to the story of the car, don’t you think?

Caveat emptor, you rich Ferrari buying bastards.

Or possibly a Ferrari.  It's so hard to tell, and this was BEFORE the bar.

Spied in Phoe – Wait, WHAT?!

Dr. Gonzo

That’s not Phoenix.  While the flags sort of look confederate, the expensive cars, the absence of cinder blocks under them (or WalMarts or trailer parks) and the fancy pants building in the background all tell us that this is NOT ARIZONA. Or Alabama. Y’all

These are all 8 Barrel’s from a quick trip to London for a nooner with Liz.  How do we know they’re his and not mine?

A – they are from out of the country (and not Canadia or Puerto Penasco, which are like suburbs of USA anyway).
B – they are completely opposite of my shots – the only angle  he failed to get was the ass, whereas, in photography and life generally, the only thing I catch is ass.

Cop or not?

Dr. Gonzo
Hmmmm. This is a tough one.

So let’s see:

  • Black paint
  • weird fender lights
  • weird license plate
  • what, what, WHAT?  Since when do cops get to move their steering wheels?

I am gonna say no on cop, although i could easily be convinced it’s the Darth F. Vader-mobile
