Wet day at Cars and Croissants on Santa Row in San Jose. Turned out to be a wet day. Only One Jag (mine) and one new Stingray (which is growing on me). The new Mustang looks stunning in person, love the interior. There was a GTR there that was truly over the top.

 

C7 is the only other car I considered and if I had gone that route,it would have been white or yellow so as to see all the trim pop...which kinda gets lost on dark colors.

I've been in and all over the Corvettes and while they have come up a ling way in terms of fit and finish,they still have miles to go before they can get anywhere near the same level as our cars...and don't bet on that ever happening.

Quality of materials,switchgear and finish is very lacking and the next time you see one,note just how wavy the panels on the car are...especially the tops of the doors.

 

Did you take a picture of the new mustang you referenced?

 

I couldn't get a good shot of the interior but the red one next to my car is the new one. Didn't have plates yet.

 

This event looks very cool! Thanks for posting about it. The 100OCT website says 'exotics only' due to limited parking (50 spaces). The Mustangs do not seem exotic. Is there anyone there who is deciding who can and cannot park there cars for display? Love the purple paint job, enderle. My F-type R coupe is 2 weeks old...standard polaris white. Think I can display it on Dec 27 without looking only semi-exotic?

 

As it gets colder fewer cars are showing up. If you get there early, between 8 and 8:30 you'll typically get a spot in front anyway. We didn't have that many exotics this month and the left side was nearly empty so plenty of room.
