So... its Sunday morning and I went out for a leisurely drive in the Q. Apparently this is the time when all the rich folk around here drive their overpriced vehicles -- otherwise no one else is on the road. I saw a few Porsches, one Bentley, SL and S-class MBs, and three unrecognizable (to me) classic collector or kit cars that looked like they were from the 30s and 40s.

But one thing really caught my eye so I ran home to get my camera.

About a quarter mile from my house is the Bellerive Country Club, which regularly hosts major golf events. In a few days, the US Senior Open will be here. Tons and tons of rich old white people will be flooding my neighborhood yet again.Of course I dont play there. Its $65,000 to acquire membership, and then $560 a month to maintain. For how terribly I play golf, its just not worth it. I'll stick to school playgrounds and public courses.

Directly across the country club in a wide open field, I saw a massive herd of Cadillacs. A mix of CTS, DTS, and Escalades. No STS and XLR.

I pulled into the nearby driveway and noticed it was an even LARGER herd than I saw from the street.

Cadillacs as far as the eye can see, sitting in the middle of my neighborhood.

A close up view.

A close up of the logos on the side of each Caddy. Looks like the Japanese flag. :)

I actually think its this logo.

Wes, youre a golf boy. Explain this. Is Cadillac sponsoring? Who drives around all of these new cars?

I would have taken more pictures but a small group of burly men in polo shirts started walking toward me, so I took off.

lol...

yesterday, I almost got killed by an old man who was determined to make the best progress possible on the freeway- the guy was nuts! weaving in and out of traffic at ~65- 70 MPH when the flow of traffic was something like 60.

to bw honwat, he was driving like a 16-tear old douchebag in a ferrari... and he had to be 60-plus, driving and old camry.

Isn't it now called the "Champions" tour, cause calling them old isn't nice? Actually, the age at which someone can move to the Champions tour is 50 or 55, so they aren't realy seniors anymore.

All the signs that are up here say US Senior Open. The elderly need to feel welcomed and invited!
