Today I took our shop Z, Mrs. Butters for a Thanksgiving Day drive with fellow enthusiasts. It was a chilly 40 degrees meeting in downtown Saratoga, but the sky was clear and the company was great. Leading the drive was Alex in his Midnight Blue 370Z:

 

We rolled up HWY 9 with seven cars and stopped at the skidpad to hang, then drove down to Santa Cruz:

 

Standouts of the group included Koich’s 1975 Porsche 911 hot rod:
