Trip to the King of Prussia Mall - Car Lovers: Read This!

So Gary, Tom, Brittany L, and I went to the King of Prussia mall yesterday. The day started off a little bit late; we were supposed to leave Friendly's by 9am but we all ended up being some kind of late and didn't leave until about 9:30am. We get on the Blue Route at about 10am, which isn't too bad. At exit 3, we're driving and I'm like "Oh my god - is that a Bentley GTC?". This BRAND NEW Bentley Continental GTC [convertible] is in opposing traffic. Like, if I just saw that car and nothing more for the day, I'm be totally set. But there's more.

About 2 miles down the road after the Bentley sighting, I notice this car off to the side of the road and I'm thinking to myself "What the hell is that?". It's a BRAND NEW Ferrari 599. Like, WHAT IS GOING ON TODAY?! Ugh. Amazing. Then I decide to take Gary and company to Algar Ferrari, the only Ferrari and Maserati dealer around us. I know Gary loves his Maseratis so I knew it would be cool to see them. We get there - Brittany is bored out of her mind [I felt so bad] - and we take a look at the two Quattroportes outside and one of the receptionists that works inside invites us to come in and check out the cars.



There's a 1990 Ferrari F40 that the owner of Algar owns - the lady said he's driven it "once or twice". WTF. Lol. There was a 1978? Ferrari 328GTB. Perfect condition. There was a 430 convertible, a 355 Berlinetta [mmm], and another 430. There were also like 4 or 5 Quattroportes inside and a Coupe. We thanked everybody and left for King of Prussia. Oh and about three blocks away from Algar, we spotted ANOTHER Quattroporte.

We finally got to KoP at around 11am or so. I forget. We park about 5 spaces down from a BMW 650i. Keep in mind, they don't make many of these cars. Most of the 6-series are the 645 trim.



We get into the mall and start walking around. Brittany bought some stuff @ Abercrombie but eventually returned it because she found this really pretty sweater @ Armani Exchange. Good decision, Brit. Crap, I shoulda take a picture. Oh well. Gary bought this really nice brown and white long-sleeve shirt @ Hollister and, according to him, the best part was that there was no logo to be found haha. I agree. Tom spent about $500-$600 - new pair of Maui Jims, jacket and jeans @ Hollister. You name it lol. Good old Tom. I didn't get anything. Once we finally got done walking the mall, we decided to go to The Cheesecake Factory but it was too busy and we had to be back by a certain time. Tom wanted to buy a slice of cheesecake so Gary, Brittany, and I walked back to the car. It was then when Brittany decided to return the Abercrombie stuff so her and Gary went back into the mall. I knew Tom was going to be a few minutes so I took a nice drive around the parking lot and this was what I saw at the Neiman Marcus valet parking:



Ok, so that's a white BMW 750Li and ANOTHER Maserati Quattroporte. What is happening?! ... Not that I mind. ANYWAY. I went to go pick up Tom and then we picked up Brittany and Gary and headed back to Delaware. We went to Taco Bell for lunch - grosss. I took Gary back to Friendly's so he could start his shift, took Brittany home, and then Tom left once we got back to my house. WHAT A DAY! Comments please :]
