    Going by the Albertsons on 66 and Dalrock, passed a burgundy Elise. Never seen one in that color, it was stunning. Also spotted a silver Murci (I believe, it was dark outside) parked on Greenville, south of McCommas.

    I saw someone in a light blue 308 last week with a perfectly crunched center rear, as if they'd backed into a light pole at 20 mph.

    You saw my neighbor lol. I wouldn't say the rear is nearly as bad as you implied though. The front on the other hand... not so good.

    If you can get some photos of the car, most of us here have been hearing about it for years.

    He might enjoy it, but he sure doesn't care for it. He should be strung up by his short hairs.

    Yikes, someone report him to the FPS (Ferrari Protective Services), looks like it's been driven but not all that well, I wonder if the owner has ever seen a film called THE HIDDEN?

    lol, as much as I'd like to have it Tillman, I'd have to have my head examined if I bought it. I'd have to store it outside, and I'm no better financially able to necessitate the repairs than the current owner. It's a lose-lose situation.

    I can still dream though!

    Here's a high res pic of it from last year. I took it the afternoon I got home from Italian CarFest '06. It was in good shape back then. Its deep front spoiler was painted a brighter non-metallic blue though (as it still is if you look at what remains of it in the pic above). Gorgeous car, I love the single exhaust.

    Got blown off the road right around 7am this morning by a bunch of Porsches on the way to MSR on 377.. and an asshat in a silver C5 non-Z06 Vette with a loud exhaust..

    Notable Porches- a couple of nice GT3's and the Yellow Ruf with the black wing.. and of all the Ruf seemed to be the only one that obeyed the speed limits..

    Noticed the burgundy Elise again on Dalrock. Also went to the other side of the bridge towards Rowlett Road and noticed a blue with white stripes Viper, and pulled up behind a wicked looking yellow with black stripes Viper with a monstrous wing. I think it was an ACR. Could have been the guys from the cigar shop by my house, He said that he and his son had vipers, an RT10 and an ACR...

    Not Ferraris but I saw a white with blue stripes GT40, red with white stripes 1966 Ford Cobra, probably a replica, and a new black with red stripes Shelby Cobra all on Saturday in Tyler. Good day for the American F-car.

    I think I saw you or the other guy Friday as well on Lovers Lane. Saw a red F430 in the morning driving towards the Tollway from Inwood with a 40+ year old behind the wheel, and then I believe later that same day, or Saturday, I saw a red 360 driven by a 30+ year old driving the opposite direction. Good to see both, but even better to hear them coming before I see them :).

    At Andretti's earlier trying to get this M5, checked out a DB7 GT that was owned by Aston's president. Spectacular vehicle.

    I forgot to mention the Gallardo passing in front of Andretti's yesterday. It was also at the Chris Cornell show at House of Blues. Yellow with aftermarket wheels. Beautiful car.

    Saw a red 308/328 (i just caught a glance) in someones garage around 4pm yesterday, i don't want to say the location and give away someone home address. I passed by again about an hour later and the cover was on it. I think there was a white Chevy truck outside...but it's hard to remember anything about that b/c there was a Ferrari next to it.
