Super Cars, What do they tell us about ourselves? (Besides reminding us how poor we are?)


2,998,000.00 Base price for this Bugatti Chiron.
I'll take two!


This Rorschach test blot serves much the same function of that Bugatti pictured above.



The Rorschach test requires us to project our thoughts about an ambiguous ink blot that can reveal deep insights into our psychological functioning. It can help reveal what is important to us. The things that motivate, frighten, and disturb us. We can see what we want to see, which is the whole basis of projection.

Replicas, kit cars and tributes, Oh My!


Is it real or is it Memorex?
( notice that it is parked next to a VW bug)

Do you think that this Lazer will fool anyone into thinking that it's legit? Is imitation the greatest form of flattery?

You can go your own way,  1964 Cadillac convertible.


Not my actual car but a doppleganger.

As Fleetwood Mac sung in 1977, I decided to follow my own automotive path.

Will my Mark VII ever look like this?



Obviously this car was treated to a full restoration.
I bet it smells good in here!

Yeah, maybe not so much.

Actually this is the worst panel of all the seats.
If I blindfolded you, wouldn't think that you were sitting in a new car.


For some unknown reason, no matter how bad the car looked when I bought it, I've never felt disgust towards it.

What made the Cadillac so great during it's glory days of the mid Fifties to mid Sixties?


American, and proud of it!



Cadillac was the dream car of most Americans during this period. This was reflected in popular culture, especially pop music.
