Gone in 60 Seconds?

Before I left for Korea, I decided to put my cars into storage. The facility I chose is located in Sausalito, CA (about 10 minutes north of San Francisco) and specializes in the storage of classic cars. One perk about this place is that they've installed over 10 cameras inside the facility that you can control to view your car remotely via a Java-applet enabled website. Just for kicks, I panned the camera around the garage to see what else was in there. The following are webcam stills of what I found.

Sitting pretty, itching to be driven...

Zooming out, can you spot the twins?

Panning to the left, my car suddenly becomes vastly inferior
(Ferrari F430 on top and 911 Turbo below it).

Panning around to the other side, I found this Shelby Cobra.

In the other garage sits the S2000.

This place also trickle-charges your battery upon request.

Zoom out a bit and the inferiority complex again ensues
(Aston Martin DB9 on the left, Ferrari 360 Modena on right)

Pan a bit to the left to find a beautiful classic Porsche below
(who cares about the crappy Boxster, really?)

A bit more to the left to find a classic Ferrari, Z8,
SLK55 AMG and early model Porsche (clockwise).

Panned to the other side and found another S2000 and two early model Porsches.

A bit more to the right to find yet another early model Porsche.

Needless to say, if the crew from the movie "Gone in 60 Seconds" were to find this garage, mine would be last on their list of cars to steal.

Wow. Look at those cars. Feeling a pinch of envy. Must control myself. Do not covet thy neighbor's 'wife'. Haha!

Google must really be paying you well. I still count pennies, being a poor student.
