    Yep. That's up there with the rarest Ferraris I've ever seen on the street. The only thing that comes close is the time I saw two F50s in a row on Westheimer in the 90s.

    According to one of my books there are only 100 330 GTSs.

    Pretty sure I saw a 250 GTO on Westheimer near Elgin 4 or 5 years ago.

    I say "pretty sure" because a) I only saw it for a 5 or 10 sec. and b) given the rarity and value of those things, it seems much, much more likely that what I saw was really a replica or something. Never got close enough to really look.

    But hey, you never know...

    I'm pretty sure that I saw a silver Maserati Merak at the upholstery shop on 20th Street in the Heights. It's a funny place, not at all high end looking building, but always a nice selection of cars in for work: MB, Porsche, I've seen a generation III QP and an Aston Martin Lagonda in there. Anybody know anything about the quality of their work?

    Almost certainly a replica based off of a Datsun, there are several in town......however, I doubt any real GTO owner would want to be sitting in Westheimer traffic, but one never knows....

    Yesterday, I saw a red 430 driving down Lakewood Forest drive around 9:30 in the morning. The guy driving it looked like he was a Duck Dynasty character.

    Then I saw another red 430 driving down Cypresswood around 5:15 in Champions Forest, either he shaved, or it was a different 430. It was raining too......

    There is one running around Sugar Land. Looks real from 100 feet, but upon closer inspection.............

    Believe that would have been me headed home from the Xpel shop and LOH. Just love driving the east beltway, south of 59.

    If memory serves me I have also spotted the same car as I live at Hwy 6 and Westheimer. A Ferrari spot always makes my day better and brighter.
