    I spotted this yellow Gallardo heading north on 360 at 4:15pm today. It looks like a female driver... cool!! :)

    Sorry for the crappy photo. I just barley snapped a shot as we passed each other going very fast.

    I spotted this 550 Maranello on Highway 71 right after I saw the 308. I actually saw the 550 pass by a couple of times while I was at the Y. I know the owner...

    This afternoon I was passing by the former Autostrada (now Prestige Imports Inc. They took ownership of the dealership this past monday.) and spotted a 2006 6 speed black 430 Spider. I went back to check it out. I was greeted by the general manager and got permission to take pictures of the car. I was told the co-owner of the dealership owns the car. He then told me to make myself at home, so I got a few pics and went back in to thank everyone and next thing I know, I am handed the keys to the car and told to start it up. Keep in mind I had only walked in about five minutes prior. Turns out the owner of the car was there and it was his idea. The car is amazing and the guys there are great. If you're in the area and want to check it out drop by and tell them Payam sent you.

    Here are a few pics:

    Yesterday on 2244 (Bee Cave's) I saw a white with blue stripe Ford GT and a red F40 driving side by side headed west of the Seven Oaks neighborhood.

    it was a beautiful thing to see...

    I was coming home from work cruising the Viper and out of the corner of my eye, I saw a race car sitting over at my buddys shop "Signs Express" but didn't know what it was for sure. I pulled a quick U-turn to go see what was up and it was a drag car. The guys from Signs Express were staying late putting decals on it. It was a 7.1 second (1/4 mile) rail car.

    I saw a yellow 355 on Slaughter around Manchaca this past Saturday. Also saw a nice dark blue / white stripe Ford GT out at the Oak Hill "Y" car show Sat night. The owner was a nice guy.

    I saw the F430 Spyder outside of Autostrada as well!



    There is also a beautiful black F430 sitting at the very front on the Austin Bergstrom Airport valet parking lot.

    Is it a big deal that they are under new management? What did they do wrong?

    Resale Red Ferrari 308 GTS on Spicewood Springs around 3:45 passing by Canyon Vista. Caught a glance, I was trying to maintain the 20 mph speed limit for school zone.

    Awesome copper color Flying Spur on the street where St. Micheal's Academy is followed by a Black 997 Turbo around 5pm.

    Then followed a greyish DB9 on 35 going south by San Marcus...

    I'm staying at the hilton dowtown tonight and spotted a red 360cs in the parking garage. There is also a 355 or 348 (from what I can tell). They are both covered with ferrari covers. The owner lives here. Is he a member?
