    Hey I'm in Tacoma right now! I usually never see other Ferraris down here. I drive mine all the time down here and so well done on starting a Tacoma thread.
    It seems they are only "seen" in Seattle or Redmond. I look out for you guys down in Tacoma.

    I was over there last Sunday. Nobody spotted me and I didn't see anyone else either.

    Did you get everything done Bill? I finally got my wheels re-balanced, took care of 99% of my front end problems. Look forward to seeing your car sometime!

    Dave, how was Indy? Hope you guys had a good time despite the B.S.

    Saw a red 355GTS merging from I-5 S to 512E today at 4PM. I honked in my 308 but "someone was in a hurry" it seems. Nice car for the brief moment I saw it. This morning I was passed by WSP in the same area I was just shy of 90+ and he blew past me at 140+. I did have to think about taking a breath after that one. I was sure he was after me but obviously had a bigger fish to fry. Or was it quitting time?

    Any one know who owns the yellow 360 in Spanaway Lake area. Not sure if it is spider or coupe. My sister and her boyfriend are the ones who saw it on Pacific ave. Right before the 512 entrance. They let me know, because they know how much i ove ferraris but i still havent seen it. :( Hopefully soon! Matthew

    lol i hear ya Billy. Although i have seen what appeared to be a Blue 348 with flared fenders. Couldnt really get a good view on 512 when it was goin the other direction. Also saw a viper at my highschool before school ended. As well as a wrecked Maser on a flatbed on Meridian :( So i guess i cant say i havent seen and nice cars around here. but i am sick of the ricers. Matt

    I laughed too... the only one I spotted was a 348 targa, red with black roof and rockers. Summer of 2002! In a nicer area in the South suburbs (not the crappy south urban area). Older man, 50's/60's driving.


    So if you were in South Tacoma in 2002 in your 348 with stock black targa and turned right at a big intersection, I saw you!




    :D

    Hey Billy D, did the black TR happen to look like the one attached? If so, it is my 92 512TR, and I was heading out from Olympia the other day, but didn't really mean to look racey (nice compliment though)

    I saw a red 308 GTB with tan interior southbound on I-5 at the Tacoma Mall saturday afternoon. I know this is a late post but my broadband was down until a few minutes ago(cable guy between 12-4) showed up at 4! I know that sightings are rare south of the King Co./Pierce Co. border. So I'll post on the rare and rarely sighted F's better late than never. There really are Ferrari sightings south of the border!

    Bill,

    I thought it was you. You are always driving around incognito in Tacoma. Well no longer. It's official, the Tacoma Spotters Thread is alive and well.
