    Usually a few weeks in between sightings, of course, besides events.

    I went over there about a month ago to check it out and they were closed, in spite of the hours posted on the door. From the window, it looked needy though. The front bumper is sloppily painted red, the bonnet doesn't fit too well, and the car had an overall shabby appearence. No idea of the mechanicals of course. I'd buy it for $15k if it runs, but I bet they're asking $30k and are waiting for a sucker.

    Oh, how sad... That's the only problem about Ferrari, today :(

    I Denmark, i saw 1 last summer (360), and a 355 GTB about 5 years ago... That's about it...

    It varies....

    Sometimes I wont see one for 2 or 3 weeks, and sometimes I'll see 2 in less then a hour. It depends on where you live and how hard you look.

    Not all that often, maybe once a month, maybe more, maybe less. A guy a few blocks away from me has one or two ferraris which he drives to the city almost every day (I think) and his wife has a Quattroporte. There are quite a few ferraris in my town but I just don't see them a lot. Other cars are another story. My neighbor has a DB7 and the guy behind me has/had a db5 convertible (I don't know if he still has it, I've actually only seen it twice in my life). Porsches are EVERYWHERE. Cayannes, caymans, carrera 4s/gt3s/turbos/s, boxters; you name it and we got it.

    See em probably once or twice a week depending which part of Atlanta I'm in. Buckhead is ripe for easy pickens...and then near the office in Duluth by the gated communities see the residents take their cars to starbucks for a walk ;-)

    As a kid in Idaho my dad had the only one in the state!

    Now living in N Calif I see them daily when the weather is nice and more than weekly when it in not. I saw a nice F40 out last weekend. Monterey Historics/Pebble Beach weekend in Carmel it is impossible to turn around and not see some. - George

    yup now a bit more exotic location for ya. it's extremely hard to come by any ferrari in poland, in fact my observations revealed there are about 20 of them in whole country - the situation should improve after introducing ferrari dealership to poland which - i sincerely hope - will happen this or next year

    hopefully i'm much to various events and abroad overall so for now i see many of them but always on events - on the street it occured to me about 10 times in whole life

    in first 15 years of my life i haven't seen more than 5 ferraris

    Days/weeks go by without, and then a day like Monday: 308 GTS, 348, and a 360 Spider all within two miles and two hours.

    Used to see a 246S (the 50's racer like a 7/8 TR) noodling around town like it was just a Civic, but not for several years. That was a sound I'll never forget!

    I only see a red F430 parked outside St. Charles Motorsport Collision mostly during summer. I think there are less than 4 in my area including ours.

    Bloomingdale and Chicago is where I see at least a Ferrari every time I pass by.

    In my area, there are a handful of Corvette's and Porsche's.

    In the Brentwood that's in TN, you won't see more than about one every two months... if you're lucky.

    I live in southern California...Drive 100 miles/day.
    I have MAYBE seen 5 Ferrari's the past year
    On the commute, not at events/gatherings.

    I have been seeing many Gallardos lately though.
    That's been kinda nice

    Several a month which does not include weekends. 5-15 F cars, 2-5 lambos, and just about every type of exotic at you can imagine at our weekly Sunday meet (Captree, NY during above 40F temperatures).

    In the summer I see one about every 2 weeks. I just saw a yellow 348 two days ago, that was the first sighting of the season. I see bentleys ALL the time around here also. A Murcie or F430 are about the nicest cars you will see in my town.
