Just got back home last night from Naples. Awesome trip! We stayed in the old part of Naples on Gulf shore drive. 1/2 block to beach and 1/2 block to 3rd street.
Tons of Bentleys, a few Rolls, a bunch Ferraris. And get this---laid eyes on a 2017 McLaren! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. Even the people said its a rare sight even for Naples.

In my previous life, before the Mike Phillips and the Competition Ready class corrupted me, I would have been "blown away" looking at these cars. Since then, I saw these cars with a more critical eye and lo behold---swirls everywhere! Never happened to me before and been a car nut all my life! That was an eye opener for me! Especially these "high end" cars on this trip.

In closing---trip back to Baltimore was very stressful. We flew in (one of few flights) that didn't cancel due to northeaster and landed around 8 pm. Storm was just starting up and had to drive for about an hour. It got really heavy at times and was it hard to see at times where the lanes were. Believe me---Had me a real cold beer once I got home!

Geez, I don't know how I missed this thread! Glad you enjoyed it down here! I would've loved to have had you over for your 'detailing fix' this past weekend!!! You could've billed it as 'visiting a friend'! LOL

Glad you had a good time and safe travels.

Regards,
Scott
