Me too. I've seen 4 in the last 2 days. Are they the new BMW?

spotted another black Ferrari Scaglietti Sunday, this time on 95S. I'm positive it wasn't the same Scaglietti I spotted a few days ago as this one had the optional Ferrari fender badges and the first one did not. too bad I keep spotting the [IMHO] ugliest current production Ferrari. :lol:

On Penn Turnpike and saw a caravan of Corvettes. It was dark and I only had my crackberry...so I didn't take any pics. There was about 10-12. I passed them all w/ my cruise set 5mph faster...so it was a slow passing. Years were 60's to 08's. They are pretty cars and there were 4 stingrays.

They were of course drooling over my WRB Forester hotness! :lol:

Although I've seen a few smart cars around, I think they can still be considered "rare". Especially this one - a convertible that happened to have an SCCA sticker on the back.

Snapped this morning on the beltway on my way into work:

It's really sad that one can expect to be able to snap low speed shots like this on a major highway. :(

I saw a light-blue Maserati Quattroporte on the beltway this evening (photo is not the actual sighting - if you couldn't tell by the license plate):

Yes sir. Keep in mind this was being towed on a trailer - not driving in rush hour beltway traffic. But still...seems kinda pointless, don't it?

I've seen a few of the XF's in the wild. In addition, I drive past a Jaguar dealer almost everyday so I see a few extra that way.

One of my neighbors just picked up an Aston Martin V8 Vantage. He took me for a spin around the block. Very nice ride. Sounds like an american V8.

I forgot to mention this earlier ... this past Sunday we took a drive out to Skyline Dr. On the way home we passed three, count 'em - THREE, Ferrari convertibles heading the opposite direction as well as a procession of 'Vettes and a Viper. Made me want to turn around...
