I've seen a red exige in the mornings driving down Jones Franklin in the mornings. I think the dude stops by the Jack Daniels on the corner every now and then as well. Anyone know him?

I would say it still qualifies because it's a Ferarri.

And that is a 328. Or maybe a 308. I can never remember the differences. Not a 512 though.

this thing would best be sent on its way to the beer can factory. but the guy who bought it is a nut, he will likely restore it.

Near DuPont circle in DC last Friday night - Bentley Flying Spur parked nonchalantly on the street. Didn't think to snap a pic though.

In the 1200 block of Pennsylvania Avenue on Saturday:
Ferrari F355 spider


The next day, on I-66 north of DC, I saw something even more rare (in the US at least)--an R32 Nissan Skyline. I didn't get a picture and didn't get close enough to tell if it was a GT-R or not, as I was driving and it was stopped on the shoulder, but it was definitely a Skyline and not a 240/something similar kitted to look like one. First one of those I've seen in person, to be sure...

Okay, so I was west of DC. Heading East. My idea of what's where up around there isn't too good...

You'll have to forgive me, I ain't from 'round there...(was on my way back to Crystal City from the Udvar-Hazy center of the Air & Space museum)

Testarossa at the house right next door to the house by the beach I was about 2 hours away from moving into when I first got to Pensacola. ended up getting another place about 5 minutes away.

I've never looked at it up close. Part of me thinks it might be a kit car or something, because it's usually parked outside and uncovered, right by the road. The house also usually has a Boxster and nice CJ-7 in the driveway (and something something else kinda notable, but I can't remember what right offhand).









Porsche GT2 I saw up in Baltimore one day when I was stationed at Quantico. The dude was a former Army infantry officer, early-to-mid 30s, and had TWO GT-2s...this was the "street" one (complete with full cage and all kinds of performance upgrades, including turbo upgrade). the other one, he said, was his racecar. I can't remember what he ended up doing for a living after he left the military, but I'd like to know.

it's a good one if it is a kit. everything is basically identical, some of the dimensions just look a little funny to me. it could totally be camera angle, etc. though.
