2010 Moraga Community Faire car show

There were just two dozen cars on display but they were all fantastic.

This 1947 Bentley estate was a head scratcher.  I voted for this as my favorite.

One out of eight cars on display were Maseratis.  I like those odds.

This is the second Indy I have seen in my life.

There are always interesting cars at car show parking lots.  It's like moths to a flame.  Here is a Qvale Mangusta.

Verdict On the Qvale Mangusta: Fugly, Italian

Last week's post about the Qvale Mangusta prompted me to conduct a survey of people who are not into cars. I showed them pictures of the Qvale. Question 1: What is it? Question 2: What do you think about it? I asked three people. Here are their responses:

What is it? An Alfa Romeo. A Maserati. A Ferrari. Well, at least they all thought it was Italian.

What do you think about it? I don't like the grill. It's really ugly. It's fugly and reminds me of a mole.

Update 1: This ain't Florida, but I'm counting a late ballot. This straggler thinks the car is a BMW or Porsche and thinks it's cute!

Here is an old Motorweek review of the Mangusta. Sorry about the quality. Skip to 3:20 to see the cool top.

Qvale Mangusta On KTVU 10 O'Clock News

I never see anything exciting on the news, until last night. There was a piece about a huge pothole on Highway 92 that caused many flat tires. Video footage showed a bunch of cars on the shoulder, having their tires changed. One of them was a black Qvale Mangusta!

I wonder if the camera person knew what s/he was filming.
