The inanimate (until the key is turned) objects of my affection. A Ferrari Enzo (foreground) and the 288 GTO. There are models I like better, but that's $4,000,000 worth of inanimate objects right there. Not long after this shot, the Enzo owner fired it up to leave. Uhhhhhh...I don't have words to describe the sound. The old muscle cars have a beautiful, warm grumble to them.

It wasn't until a week before our trip that I realized our night was in Panama, not Florida. On the bright side, Brooke and I got to bop around a city we'd likely never have seen were it not for that layover.
