Locals at the weekend social meeting place in front of Peets Coffee Shop could not believe what they were seeing, thirteen Sky's and two sols. Curiosity was all that was on their faces. I could hear them say what kind of car is that who makes them..... We all had our hand full of questions and young kids wanting to sit in them. Dad could we get one??? Others would make their choices on which one they like the best...We could have made the day just showing off the cars... As we left the parking lot I could see all the eyes that wanted to be with us...

We could not have asked for a better day 80 degrees, clear sky just beautiful.. A great lunch in Montclair three campuses some windy roads and big Redwood trees... To wind up a perfect run back to Lafayette for ice cream.

More Runs to come in 2009 Keep tuned....
