We had some neat cars at this weekend's Cars and Cafe, including the only Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Sang Bleu. What is that--a $3 million car?

Brave getting so close to that Ferrari.

You never know when it could burst in flames.

This looks like a used car lot for expensive cars. Where are the classics? Where are the carburetors?

They're there, although more Central Floridians should bring out the older cars.

In reply to David S. Wallens:

David, Nice pics. I'm wondering if it's just me, but in some of those pictures it looks to me like they are toy cars. Examples would be the CR-Z and the M coupe, among others. Other pics look normal. Was it the way they were photographed or am I just nuts?

They were shot with a tilt-shift lens, and that's one of the side effects: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt-shift_photography

Note that those are not my photos. My friend shot them.

Thanks. Nice to know I'm not losing it.

Doh! I just went back and looked at the pictures again and noticed (this time!) that he actually states that he's experimenting with that lense....missed that the first time.

Yeah, he was trying something new.
