From the Porsche Zentrum to the auction houses, these amazing facilities vanish after Monterey Car Week

Whatever this auction employee's job is, it can't be too bad being paid to ensure Ferraris have tires

Another good gig if you can get it:

Getting paid to hawk a $4M Maserati

...just ask Sir Stirling Moss

Nice latch detail photo of the GT40, above. Interesting to see them with wire wheels. As I recall those distinguish the early cars?

Bout tree fiddy?

Funny, the patterning on the headlamp lens is quite reminiscent of, ahem, a lens from another make/model.

The Veyron has always left me a bit cold. Love the engineering behind it and the quality is out of this world.......but it just doesn't make me want one.

This, however, looks sensational!

A good read before buying your '1945' Bug:

Examiner.com's "The cost to own a Bugatti Veyron."
