I'm just in amazement at the beauty of the surroundings in this picture (I dig the car too..duh) Anyone know where this is? Greece? Italy? Heaven?

Hey, that's my summer house's driveway!!!


Definitely from the Mediterranean. Being the way the houses look in the background I'm inclined to say it is not Greece. Maybe Capri.

Yep. That would be my guess. That's probably one of those finger lakes in the background (Lake Como, Lake Maggiore, ...).

Cheers

Lake Como is my guess as well. I saw a segment of it on the travel channel. The corner house on the back left looks like the one in James Bond (last scene).

You know, I would not mind one bit, if the next RX-8 had a slight italian throwback design like this above. If that were to happen, I would also just consider throwing caution into the wind and move to Italy.

sad, sad existance here in Texas. Well, not really... but when you see pictures like that, jeez.
