Porsche Cayman: Cure for New-Car Fever

2009 Porsche Cayman

We are back from our road trip. We drove to San Antonio, Texas to trade Tall Husband's car for this hot little number. Here she sits on the street in the historic King William Area of San Antonio. This chic red beauty is an effective cure for New-Car Fever.

Note: See that historic little limestone house in the background? Later, I'll post about San Antonio's King William Area with it's historic jewels. Now I've got old house fever.

The Fifth Annual Classy Chassis™

Bugatti

Here in Houston yesterday, Tall Husband and I attended the 2008 Classy Chassis Concourse Automotive Event, benefiting United Cerebral Palsy.

These people really know how to put on a show. The magic began as we drove through the gates of the Reliant Stadium: Tall Husband was driving his silver BMW Z4 and headed toward a distant parking area when a Classy Chassis volunteer waved us over and directed us to a parking spot just steps from the exhibit hall entrance. We were confused and asked if we could really park there, "Yes, you're driving a BMW!" came the answer.

This event was Bugatti heaven as Bugatti was selected to be the featured marque this year. There was a world-class collection of more than twenty vintage Bugattis on display, one of the largest ever assembled in the United States.

Here are photos of some of the Bugattis and other vintage beauties. Enjoy the ride!
