She did remember to ask about the engine.

While pointing towards and looking at the front of the car......

I know, you don't have to have a college degree to know she doesn't :P

I think it is a 2008MY car because there speakers(!) in the doors and I noticed that there is an extra airvent(?) on the dashboard in front of the passenger. There are now 2 airvent above each other.

Maybe interesting to know: #007 has got radio/speaker preparations. It has speaker wiring in the doors.

Regards,
Spyker #007

The other comment when she takes a seat is great as well: 'Oh, so many pedals' (ref. to the 'four' pedals)

And that means that the C8 Laviolette is $20,000 cheaper.

I need some help with my math

Yesterday, I was finally back in NY, and I quickly popped into the auto show, right as it opened for the day (you have to be early, because it gets impossibly busy). However, there was nobody yet at the Manhattan Motorcars stand, and the white C8 was covered. The orange Laviolette was there in all its glory.

There was only a guard and a dust-off man. They were talking to each other in the Rolls section. A woman sent her kid under the cordoned area to stand next to the Laviolette, so she could make some pictures. This kid (4 years old or so) had a jacket on With Large Metal Zippers and was hugging the front of the car. I shudder to think about the paint
