It is a sign of the times (segno dei tempi) that the Fiat dealership in town has moved across the street to a lesser location to make way for a Maserati dealership. For those who prefer Ferrari, like Bruce Dickenson, this is no big deal, but it does bode well for B'game sales tax revenues to welcome another upper-end dealership to town. For the second fiscal quarter of 2018, Autos and Transportation held its No. 1 position in B'game, topping $1 million for the quarter--double that of the Restaurants and Hotels sector per this city report. I say benvenuto Maserati!

That photo captured what’s got to be simultaneously the most glamorous and saddest bus stop.
Also striking is that there is that solid white guardrail wall protecting the corner glass wall and the $500k cars behind it. Welcome to Burlingame. Buy your 6-digit Veblen good here but watch out we don’t drive so good.

Well said, BMW. How many of these high performance vehicles will be sold to low performance drivers? At least it's not at the Broadway intersection snarl.

Maybe people can test drive the Maserati's around the new roundabout...

In the spirit of Fred’s clever crossover comment, Fiat Lux.

Overcompensation (thought catalog)
(Editor clip because it was too crude) If a man feels the need to wave his money in your face, then he is more than likely the owner of an undersized package. (Editor, another clip, same reason)

However, there is the corollary of cow-bell size and endowment: The more cow bell, the more, etc...

So, driving in my Ferrari Berlinetta the other day, I see another Ferrari (but a 430) and I give the thumbs up sign as I pull up next to the guy, but it was weird because he looked all angry. We pull up to the stoplight and he rolls down his window and says "why did you flip me off?"
To which I replied, buddy, Bruce Dickinson was giving you a thumbs-up! He then said that my thumb appeared to be so large that he mistook it for a middle finger. Yes, folks, I do have a larger than average thumb, so let's just say I don't have the same appendage problem as our President, if ya know what I mean! *wink*
