Okay. Sorry my camera sucks. I dropped my phone in some dirt and now there’s dust under the camera lens. It does not do anything any justice whatsoever.

Anyway, a very nice 250 GTO dropped by the office today, just to say hi. So I took some pictures and placed my butt in probably the most expensive place it will ever go. The 250 GTO is quite a car, but its hard to get past the sheer value of the thing, it kind of colors everything you think about the car. But if you are able to forget about that for a split second or two, you can appreciate that legendary beauty. And of course, there’s how it sounds. Again, camera sucks, but the mic did manage to capture the voice of the beast pretty well. It did not start on the first crank because, you know.... all that money buys character.

A few other cars made it out as well, including a V8 swapped Z car and a brand new R8.

Doing my best “filthy rich man” impersonation. Hey look! My co-worker doesn’t have crap all over his camera lens!

As promised, a video of it starting. That delicious sound!

People who have sat in a 250 GTO. That’s a pretty exclusive club.

EDIT: wow, it’s an ex-Hill and Ginther as well!
