With all due respect, this is far more than merely "washing" cars!!! But yeah, I know what you mean.

This was pretty special and although I didn't get to drive it like I have some other super cars (I'll NEVER forget the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano at SEMA a couple of years back), I did get to sit in it and start it up so we could raise the rear wing for cleaning under it.

I commented to the guys that certain commonalities exist between this car and the Crossfire - active rear wing, a raised spine running down the center of the hood and roof, center exiting exhaust...... 4 wheels, just 2 seats, a steering wheel... yeah, I was stretching it a bit at that point.

Consider that a set of tires on the Veyron Super Sport costs as much as the original sticker price on my '05 Limited Roadster and it sort of puts things into perspective.
