Cars in Milan

From Jonathan

We went to Milan thinking it was the fashion capitol of the world. Little did we know that it was the Capitol of something else. We climbed to the top of the Duomo, a giant Gothic church. We had lunch and coffee and then decided to go window-shopping.  As I was looking into the window of a wrist-watch shop I heard a low rumble coming from the street that sounded like a car. I turned around and sure enough there was a red Ferrari driving down the street revving its engine. We all went nuts and took pictures and thought we were incredibly lucky.  But almost right away we saw a black Lamborghini.  We freaked out all over again, and took more pictures.  Soon we’d seen a Porsche then another Ferrari and I started to wonder whether Milan was just a fashion capitol for clothing.

By the end of the day we’d seen 6 Ferrari’s, 10-15 Porsches, a Lamborghini, a Bentley, a Maserati, and a Lotus. We noticed that not only were these guys driving the cars but they were showing them off. We saw the first red Ferrari with the same bald man driving around the same block and making sure he was noticed.

            Late in the afternoon we went to a coffee shop.  Mom and Dad people-watched while David, Daniel and I could car-watch. When we would see a nice car we would jump out of our seats and chase it down with our IPod touches so we could get pictures.  By the end of the day we had seen so many exotic cars that when we saw a Porsche we just said “Hey look, another Porsche.” I have decided that Milan isn’t just a fashion capitol for clothing – it’s also a fashion capitol for exotic cars.
