It's been a while I last spotted the dark grey Maserati Bora driving through my town but some time ago I did see a beautifully kept dark brown Ferrari 400 GT sitting next to a garage, oh and a cute white NSU Prinz parked in front of my house strangely enough.

Try and take a picture of the cars before you post then people will believe what you say. @TwinTurbo LM UTEs aren't common in the US maybe a few people will like to see them.

I don't always carry my phone with me, and if people don't want to believe me, that's fine (it isn't like I was claiming there was a Bugatti Royale parked in front of my house ;))

It's not that nobody believes you, but nobody wants to just read what you saw today, we'd like to see some actual photographs of it. :)
 
When I saw the LaFerrari in magazines, I didn't like the way it looked. Then I saw it :drool:

The stripes are there for the car to glow in the dark.
You were in Maranello to see that specific LaFerrari, weren't you? :sly:
Because I might have to disappoint you, I was there too and that one is only a clay model:

Finally, I shall post my first spots of the year.

First, this was spotted a few days ago, but I didn't want to post it by itself. It's a Volvo C30 R-Design. It's actually the first C30 R-Design I've seen in a long time. I think the last one I saw was at an Auto Show back in 2012.

Today:

Alright, my fourth SL spotted in the last 4 weeks and my first R231 AMG.

I saw this 1st Gen 4-Runner in another parking lot at a grocery store.

After leaving the grocery store, I went across the street to look at the 2 auto repair shops to see if there was anything interesting. The first one had this Grand Wagoneer, I figured it's a good spot since I've seen people post this kind of Jeep before.

The 2nd Auto Shop still oddly enough had this SW20 MR2 there. I wanted to take a better picture of it, so here. :)
Anyway, it looks like it's in decent shape.

At a house near the auto shops, there was this mid-70s Corvette sitting there.

Well, I went back into the grocery store parking lot, because I saw this Jaguar E-Type pulling in. It's been a while since I saw one. oh yeah, there was another guy by the Jag that was taking pictures of it too. We had a small conversation. XD

Last year, I was looking at this fenced off area at the cars there, but I couldn't get decent enough shots to share due to how limited my previous phone was. My new phone though has slightly better zoom quality. So, I managed to get pictures of this ST160 series Toyota Celica and VW Van.

Sweet stuff there, guys! Only Diego can make me like Beetles! :lol: E-type out in winter, in the middle of nowhere (I'm assuming), very cool! And I love the 4WD GL!

Had a terrible day myself... couldn't take a picture to save my life. '57 bel aire cruising towards me nice and slow... and for some reason I have to wait until it is over my shoulder and behind a tree to take a photo... ugh. That's just one example of about 6 pretty nice cars I missed today due to my own temporary incompetence... But, there were some goodies besides, and I may have even gotten a nice photo or two.

Yeah, it doesn't get that cold often down in FL; even at the panhandle where I'm at. So, that basically means I'll see the sports cars come out to play more often. Also, it's not exactly the middle of nowhere; it's just a town that a lot of people like driving around at.

Seriously, it can get crowded here sometimes; especially in the summer when tourists are around.
 
Went to NYC over the weekend.

What Jaguar is this? I don't think I've ever seen one.

Fantastic day, eh @jeffgoddin?

Indeed... missed spots (in addition to the tragically poor shot of the 510 wagon above) include TT-RS, P1800 (non-wagon), 997 Turbo cab, Z4 M coupe, '57 Bel Aire, and T-bucket hot rod (the last two are especially uncommon in SF, for some reason I don't see as many classic American cars here as I did in Cleveland...) And it turns out that the Huayra I saw yesterday is not the same one I saw at Cars and Coffee last week like i thought, so that's two different Huayras I've seen in SF! And I think the 996 turbo shot is my sharpest pan ever somehow, which is nice (check the original on Flickr, not bad for a crappy pocket digi...)
