Default Palo Alto Concours d'Elegance

Not sure how many of you went to the event but it was amazing. I got a few tickets from my company that was sponsoring the event. Anyway there were so many beautiful rare cars. From the Tesla roadster to Audi's new R8. So I just had to take pictures.















I took over 80 pictures you can take a look at them below:

Does that CHP actually uses these exotic cars or is it just for show?

CHP used it to for the caravan on the annual drive they have for the concours this past Saturday. They were escorting the people in the drive with the Porsche Turbo and a CHP Cayenne. Other that though I guess they are probably just for show.

The CHP has started to use chargers as some of their vehicles, so it may be possible select few higher ranking officers get to ride in more luxury. Soon they will have IS' driving around and we'll think it's fellow CL members till we get the lights flashed at us.

The S7 was gorgeous to see in person. The highlight was at the end of the show and the owner went in the car and fired it up. As he drove away you can hear how much of a beast the car really is. Man someday I'll need to go for a ride in that car.
