Ferrari 456 pop-up lights

What do you think of these?  I saw a silver 456 yesterday and it's been ages since I've seen one.  I'm usually a fan of pop-up lights but they looked funny on the 456.

3 facts about the Ferrari FF

1. It has a separate speedometer for the front passenger.
2. It shares a stereo system and nav system with the Jeep Wrangler.
3. It has two transmissions.

The ultimate car guy

Have you driven a Countach and a 288 GTO?  Do you daily drive an E28 M5 that you bought brand new?  Did you become a flight attendant just so that you could visit every car show around the world?

Sausalito Cars, Coffee & Company pictures

Starting today, on the first Saturday of every month, there will be an informal car meet at the parking lot across from Poggio Restaurant in Sausalito.  About three dozen cars showed up.  I'm still kicking myself for not being quick enough to snap a picture of the Lamborghini LM002 that sped off.  You could hear it a mile away accelerating onto the Highway 101 onramp.
