Car spotting at the horse race

Yesterday, I spent the day at the Virginia Gold Cup. The day is filled with horse races, terrier races, wine tasting, fancy hat contests, and the like. It’s all very chic. But half the fun is seeking out the interesting cars that turn up.

This Rolls-Royce Wraith was probably the highest-priced car of the day. I’d prefer it in Smoky Quartz Metallic, but it was still a looker.

...and it had the optional crystal Spirit of Ecstasy.

This Lexus IS300 SportCross was an unexpected find.

...as was this ‘62 Corvette.

Some of the hats were pretty out there.

And some people decided to bring their collection of taxidermy.

I’m a sucker for any generation of the CL.

All in all, a fantastic Saturday! Anyone else spend the day at the races?

Too Baller to compute.

No shirt, no shoes, no service? Also, what happened to your beard? I can see your.... face.

Shaved the beard yesterday morning and starting fresh. Thankfully I grow facial hair so quickly that I’ll have a goatee again by Tuesday.

I almost asked where your shoes were, but then I realized who posted this. Also I dig the seersucker. It reminds me of my time in Charleston, SC.

It was a pimped-out Pontiac Grand Prix convertible. I was never able to get a clear picture of it. The crowd around it was too thick.

Why are you barefoot?

I usually am. It’s a personal choice; I’ve just never liked shoes.

I thought it was real until I saw the wooden stand.

I am amazed the posh people permitted you to walk around barefoot

I went to see the IndyCar practice session at IMS. It’s pretty crazy how different Honda and Chevy have designed their aero kits.

Also, those shoes don’t match your suit.

Oh, I’m sure the posh people got a kick out of it.
