Vettes, and Mercedes-Benz, too

My former boss, Terry, drives a 2009 Corvette convertible.  Actually I know a lot of Vette owners.  Tom W- if you're reading this I still have yet to photograph yours.  Anyway Terry's is very classy: deep maroon with a black top.  Pictured here a couple years back with my BMW. 

My husband was out working at the Gila River Indian Community in Arizona a short time ago, where he had the opportunity to meet up with Bob Bondurant- who runs a racing school there, the Bondurant School of High Performance Driving.  Think I'd like to attend.  Do check out his Vette. Now that is one beautiful car.

And finally, an automobile fit for a queen, my friend Anita's 1994 Mercedes E Series in lush forest green.  She's selling it because it's getting too old to care for and hard to find parts.  Hmm, somehow the BMW keeps sneaking into these photographs.  No, this was not an accident.  This was taken at a computer software and codes conference Anita and I organized and ran last summer with Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Department of Defense.  

We're thinking it may be time to organize another such meeting, but this time centered around the theme of "what's next in hardware and software" considering that big data is majorly upon us, yet we're already going down the path to exascale.
