I'm on another trip to North Carolina and Virginia like last time with the Maserati experience, and I already have many car stories and photos, even though we've still got a week left of our vacation. I would show you some photos, but I'm on my relatives' computer and they don't have my photo software that I need to download to get my photos on Picasa and eventually the blog. So for now I'll tell you about the cars I didn't get photos of, which in this case are the most interesting so far. So, here goes:
Virginia seems much like Chicago in a sense that there are many luxury automobiles here, but few classics. I've seen many two door Mercedes-Benzes and BMWs, along with a light scattering of supercars, like a Bentley Continental Flying Spur (4dr) and a Mercedes-Benz SLR Mclaren. I failed to catch either of these on my digital camera, but they almost stopped my heart when I saw them.
Other notable occurrences were car and accidents I saw on the highway. Once I saw a '65 Mustang coupe, unrestored, sitting facing the highway in somebody's back yard, and I also saw a sad accident in which a trailer carrying a '67 GTO project came unhitched and discarded the GTO, which was crushed in the accident. One thing I did get a photo of though, and hope to post when I get back in a week, was an accident where a Mercedes-Benz C240 was hit on the side by a merging Ford van. You can guess what car had the larger repair bill... More updates coming within the next week!
