The power of bling

While downtown this morning, we spotted one of these cars parked in front of a high-end restaurant on a pedestrian mall. It's a Lotus Elise. I was waiting for Darlene to finish shopping, so I just sat on a bench nearby and watched. It was fun to see the reactions of people as they passed this car. One couple - the woman actually laid back on the front of the car and posed for a picture. The other thing I noticed was that every other car that was illegally parked on this pedestrian mall had a ticket on its windshield - except this one. Go figure......
