If it were Italian, it would be called the "classimosto."

On the way home from the Boston Auto Show yesterday we pulled onto the highway next to a blue Z8. The car is beautiful, especially when driving on the road. All I remember thinking was "Damn, the car works, it really does look exceptional, much better than sitting still at an auto show or in a magazine."

The sound is fabulous, and the look is tasteful, old-world, timeless elegance that bespeaks a need for more inconspicuous consumption, than, say, a Modena, and this driver was cool enough to give a little show. Since we had just come from the auto show we had the camera ready, but only one floppy left :(
