    A custom Quattroporte estate built by Carrozzeria Touring. It was the first thing we stumbled into after hour 12-hour night drive, totally unlisted in the press kit, and I thought, oooo-kay, we've arrived.

    @clinto: Yeah- weirdos. I bet there isn't even a group of fat balding guys playing crappy covers of Beach Boys songs there.. and where's the swap meet section and local field-hockey girls selling T-shirts and baseball caps? No sausage-sandwich stand? Y'know what, except for the complete lack of Camaros and Mustangs, this car carshow sucks, man! I want my 5 bucks back.

    I want to own Steve McQueen's Lusso.


    Peter, that Miura shot is beautifully composed, you wouldn't happen to have that in 1440x900 would you? It's been some time since I was behind the wheel of Miura, but that's another one I wouldn't mind getting all Tawny Kitaen over.

    @Dr.Danger is a pottymouth: You can go direct to Milan out of most large US cities for about $500-$600 if you hurry (summer season starts in a couple weeks). Como is maybe an hour by train.


    As long as you don't mind the long flight, sore ass, and DVT-induced heart attack possibilities, this could be done on a long weekend for under $1,000.

    i can see this kind of event as either very fun or very obnoxious, or both. ie cars = awesome, proprietors = obnoxious. "you, get avay vrom my buuuugatti, you're casting shadow on it"

    @doctor 1 penny: I love polo shirts. They fit like a t-shirt, hang like a t-shirt, but most people consider them formal enough that you won't get glared at in church or a place like this.

    @TheGuinnessTooth: I didn't know anyone felt strongly about polo shirts, either for or against. My closet is full of them for the reasons you mentioned. There is just no alternative for short-sleeve "casual but not dumpy"
