When I see a car that looks fast even when standing still I go to a place in my childhood where I am pretending to be a race car driver. So you can guess that 180 or so of these cars in one place, at one time, sent my imagination into overdrive. Sunday morning started with a trip to Lenox Square Mall in Buckhead for the Caffeine & Exotics Car Show. There were exotic cars represented from all over the world. Lamborghini, Ferrari, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Jaguar, Porshe, Corvette, Cadillac and Aston Martin to name just a few. Cars that have a 0-60 time of ridiculous and a top speed of you can’t do that in Atlanta. Thousands of car enthusiasts came out in the early morning to take photographs and talk to the owners. Suped up engines roared to life and plush leather interiors were polished to a shine so that everyone could get a good look at these amazing speed machines.
