San Luis Obispo Concours


We had a great car show on June 3, 2012 down the road a bit in San Luis Obispo.  It was held on the grounds of the Madonna Inn.


First thing to hit my eye was this staggeringly beautiful Mercedes 300SL gull wing.


And the modern Mercedes SLS AMG gull wing, a 12 cylinder, 6.2 liter monster.


This Carrera GT is owned by a local Porsche club member and is popular at every car show in the area.


This is my first Ferrari Enzo.  Just brutally fast looking, like it's murdering the air flowing around it.


Ferrari row.


There was a row of refreshment tents, including this Space Shuttle-shaped rolling diner.


Another first for me, and the world, is this Fisker Karma.  I had a great talk with the rep about the details of the car and electric cars in general.  I gave him one of my project cards, so perhaps he's reading this now!


Beautiful from every angle.  Henrik Fisker was a designer at Ford, BMW and Aston Martin, then branched out into his own design and coachbuilding company.


150 watts of solar on the roof.


 This is the new 2012 Porsche Carrera 911, code name 991.


You can tell by the skinny tail lights.


The price sticker however is not very skinny.  This is the S version, but $126K, really?
