    I randomly spotted this pair at a gas station while getting lunch in the Cahaba area! Normally I don't get to go out for lunch during the week as I work, but I worked overnight last night and have the rest of today off and by chance decided to go out and get lunch after only a few hours of sleep. Great idea in hindsight!

    The owner was a really cool guy and knows the owner of an Enzo here in town that I saw at the IndyCar race. Pics of the 550 are attached.

    My dream Fcar is a 575M in the same color combination with a 6-speed as well (specifically #134033), which is in the last two photos for comparison. By far the best color I've ever seen on a Ferrari.

    Edit: Other than that 575M serial number, I don't know or keep track of any of Fcar serial numbers for those that may ask what the VIN is. The owner said the car number was in the 300s or so.

    Yep! Azzuro California. Great color that is also easy to live with. Crema interior is a plus!

    Beautiful find. You don't see that color too often especially on a Barchetta

    I believe that is one of the Bruno cars. My office is about .2 of a mile from there.
