If you love sports cars...
...you'll enjoy visiting the Blackhawk Automotive Museum.
I was just there yesterday and the whole downstairs section was full of sportscars from the 50's and 60's. They had some absolutely beautiful Ferraris there. I didn't know the 1964 Ferrari Superfast could go 170 mph, and it holds four. My favorite was the 275 GTB/4 followed closely by the Daytona convertible. There were also things like a Mercedes 300SL Gullwing, a Ford GT-40 that raced at Le Mans, and even one of those Toyota 2000 sports cars. It's worth spending an afternoon there.

Hey Scott - I had heard about this museum from a friend several months ago. He was raving about it. It looks like a great way to hang out (and learn about) the classics. I definitely will check it out. Next time I'm in the Blackhawk area, I'll swing by for the afternoon.

Museum is very nice, the whole plaza is nice, I live within walking distance to that place.
FYI, there was a Nissan event that occured at the museum, they unveiled the 350Z convert.

hehe... Ken Behring really f#cked up the Seahawks. We Seattleites will never forgive him.
I would like to see that collection one day. I've heard it was really impressive.
Is that supermarket with the marble floors and what seemed like gold-plated trim still around? My old boss lived in Blackhawk and we went to visit... bling-bling grocery!
