Car Throttle

On the first Saturday of every month, the Porsche Club of America has a morning car show in Briar Creek. It's always worth going to take a look, because you just never know what's going to turn up.  Today was no exception, with plenty of drool-worthy exotics present, friendly people, and coffee.  Hey, it's an early show - coffee is a must.
