    OK, I know we live in Silicon Valley, but I saw four (yep, 4) 458s this weekend.

    Saturday mid-day, red Big Basin, downtown Saratoga
    Saturday afternoon, at my house (Nizam's)... OK, maybe this one doesn't count as much
    Sunday noon pearl yellow (stunning color) in the Valet lot at Santana Row
    Sunday afternoon black on 85 headed north around Cupertino

    Amazing weekend for spotting cars.

    Red FXX for sale at Wynn Ferrari. OK, maybe it was in a dealership, but the car is not street legal. Guess it is Penske's personal car for sale.

    Sorry I haven't posted on here in a while; been very busy with school. :eek:

    Anyway, we had a snow-storm (mild) last week in reno. The storm was in the morning and stopped at around 9:00am. That afternoon, I saw a red Ferrari 575M Maranello on the freeway. It was pretty much the only clean car I saw that day. lol

    A Yellow Lamborghini Gallardo Spider and silver GTR followed me (in my red F430) on Skyline Blvd yesterday. Cars looked awesome!

    I also was also passed on Skyline near Big Basin by a red 911 driven by an impatient ****** who couldn't wait for a proper or legal place to pass and ended up showering my car with middle of the road debris. I'll definitely look for you again on Skyline as I'd love to return the favor...

    On 280 on the Peninsula this afternoon. I was driving the world's dorkiest van, I did not wave.

    (The new iPhone4 actually takes pictures of moving objects and they don't look like Dali paintings unlike the iPhone3!)

    Drove over the hill to take the Mini in for service in Sacramento today. On the way there, I saw a yellow Ferrari Testarossa heading east on I-80 by Camping World. The Ferraris and Maseratis at Niello Maserati of Sacramento were fun to gawk over while my Mini was getting serviced next door. ;) :D :D :D

    Saw about 60 Ferrari's in the Delta today all in one obscure spot, including four 458 Italias, a 599 GTO and a Daytona. Awesome Delta Dash to celebrate Enzo's birthday.

    Just curious???
    Why do we NEVER see pics from your posts???
    You seem like a tech kind of kid, but somehow never have your camera phone "ready";)
    I spend a LOT of time in Tahoe/Reno and NEVER seem to "spot" the sightings you do.
    Just an observation.
    There is a difference in actual "spotting" as to "dreaming", appreciate your enthusiasm though!
    BTW, I have a GREAT camera w/ my Droid X;)
