Thanks for all the photos Dino. Almost as good as being there. A few observations:

There was a mid 50's 300SL Gullwing (white with red interior) in the Reno museum. Old or new, they're very cool and very special, but still not among my favorite designs.

The LFA reminds me of something I just read in a car mag --- it looks like an old Supra that crashed into a Warshowski's auto parts store.

I really like the Fisker's (though I hate electric cars).

Bad color for the Audi (or for anything else for that matter).

Can't see a lime green Lambo roadster without looking for Carla and her timy dog.

I know they're ultra luxurious, powerful, and rare, but Maybach's are unattractive and remind me of Hyundai's.

Why do the Fiat ladies have a look on their faces as if they were just fed a $h!t sandwich?

The Alpina looks like a keeper to me. Sweeeeeeet.

What's the wierd little green Lexus? Some enviro-conscious concept? (I can't wait for the total unraveling of the manmade climate change hoax to come to light.)

The Aston ... OMG. Always my fave.

Why does the spoiler on the GT2 say "GT3"?

Thanks again!!!

Yeah, that Audi color is very akward, and the rest of their cars with the exception of one other in same color as R8, were all white.

Those Fiat ladies must have been having a bad day cuz they looked pissy all day long. probably cuz they were stuck with the Fiats instead of nicer cars lol.

That Alpina if you look has a night vision camera in front bumper. Cool car.

I bet that GT2 just has an OEM GT3 wing on it and that's why.

Ditto. Looks especially classy and mean in formal black.

But come on Dino, you of all people should know that the plural of Gran Turismo is Gran Turismi. Capiche.
