    Is Tony Tag running down Division near the State St. Intersection on Tuesday about 6:45 PM considered a "spot?"

    Good news it isnt the diff but an alignemnt tolerance change issue with the change from the P-Zero Rosso to the new P-Zero. Apparently the even put another cars diff in mine and didnt track down the problem til they swapped another cars wheels on. Always glad Billy is thorough.

    Good question! They're becoming as common as a Corvette and, I don't know if I should say it, a Mustang too!

    Not that a Mustang was ever considered exotic, nor the Corvette but, when you see many of the same cars in 1 day,as you queried Andreas, can any of them be considered "exotic"?

    To me, an exotic is a car you rarely see. Back in the early 60s I owned a couple of E-Type Jags. If, in a years time, you saw another one on the road it was a rarity.....that's what I consider exotic!

    I could be mistaken... but I don't think Gallardos are as common as Corvettes...

    Nah. They're still a lot more exotic than that.

    I'm just jealous that the Gallardos are out to play while my 308 sits in the garage awaiting repair. For which I only got myself to blame for having been a procrastinator.

    You didn't pay attention to the question, and the reply given with tongue-in-cheek. ;)

    Thanks badges. That's my 348! Finally. I been waiting two years to get spotted, now I can part with the car in peace. Porsche Panamera on I88 east bound this morning. I also checked out your son's website. Where did you get the pic with the F40?

    As payment for the spot, my son says he gets to have a ride in your car!! Your car will be next week's spot of the week, so you'll be famous as well! The F40 was at Continental when we had our boy's day at the exotics. It was the first one I've ever seen. That was also the day we saw the Enzo and SuperVeloce Lamborghini.
