    I've spent most of the last two days in Dallas and I must say, those Bentley Continentals are like pickups in Tyler!!!!

    I must have seen at least a dozen (or more) of those cars out on the road.

    The wife and I were at Nordstrom yesterday and we spotted a red F430 Berlinetta on the valet line.

    Good observation from an out-of-towner! Yep, they're our higher-end Dallas Road Hogs.

    No *****...late-model Bentleys, Astons, and Lambos seem as plentiful as VW Jettas around here.

    I wish people would quit reporting sighting these mass-production cars, and only post when they see a Ferrari or other really noteworthy exotic or classic.

    I would argue that Ferrari is nearly as mass-produced as the Bentleys, Astons, and Lambos.

    Yes, no doubt arguable, and I own an older mass-produced Ferrari.

    However, this is a Ferrari board.

    Well I am in Irvine, California for the week on the West Coast leg of my tour before I go to L.A., and from my room in the last two days I have seen at least 30 Porsche's ( name it, it's here ), back to back Ferrari's at a red light going in opposite directions ( a beautiful mist blue 430 Spyder with black top and a black on black Spyder, both sounded insane ), a Black on Black LP640, a pastel blue gallardo,a silver DB9, and a red on red gallardo. I've heard many more though ( Tubi's have a beautifu sound echoing off the hotels ). I think Lambo's and Ferrari's are more commonplace here than the Bentley's and Masers... You should come to our neck of the woods more often Scotty, get out of Tyler a bit :D

    Ha, yeah, then my special-to-me 355 would merely blend in with all of the new high-dollar metal in big-D.

    I like the fact that I have 1 of 1 in the Tyler area!! :D

    I do love exotic spotting in Dallas, though. So much eye candy!!!

    You should try Orange County!
    Plus, I have a weakness for 355's even though I dream of a 512...

    I know this isn't D/FW, but it is very notable. Still in Irvine, CA., a Silver Aston Rapide blasted past me this afternoon outside of my hotel. For a sedan, it was stunning!

    If anybody is going to Vegas this summer, there's a 1994 Jaguar XJ220 in the auto collection at the Imperial Palace. Two Ford RS200 road cars, a Sauber Mercedes race car, a '77 308 GTB with 10k kilometers, etc.

    I thought most of that collection was sold off?

    Metallic orange-salmon colored Maserati GranSport on Inwood. What a cool color! I hadn't seen that color before.

    Assuming there aren't too many of those on the road yet, probably the same one I saw at Cafe R&D at Preston Center on Wednesday night.

    A little belated, but last Tuesday afternoon there was a Yellow Saleen S7 Twin Turbo parked outside of Primo's on McKinney for happy hour. Pretty impressive, and it definitely stood out from the regular cadre of 911s and BMWs. SWEET!
