A white 430 Scuderia at Cruisin on the Coast.

 

Black F50 convertible at Old Perkins and Highland road by the water park in E Baton Rouge.

 

I wonder who owns that one.

 

I sure hope you weren't counting the kit car as one of the several "classics" headed toward cruising the coast

 

Franco driving his kid to school in the 355 Challenge.

One hell of a way to get dropped off in the carpool line.

 

Baby Blue Gallardo in Prairieville near Hwy. 73
Cool color

 

The end point of the Fireball Run was Gulfport MS on 10-1-11. I am sure that car came from that event.

Also - at Cruisin' the Coast I saw:
black Ferrari 308 (registered for the event)
white 308 (PittsS2APilot )
burgandy Gallardo Spyder
black Gallardo
Ferrari 430 Scuderia

 

Saw it Monday on Airline in Baton Rouge

 

Would like to know more about this sticker. Is the Lambo Academy doing something say at NOLA in the future? Or is that just some guy who attended the driving experience at Imola and (somehow) decided to put a bumper sticker on his Murci?

An F50? A black one??? Wow...that's a great spot!

 

I saw the same murci in Baton Rouge while I was leaving the airport a few moths back. So he must be local to the BR area. Damn that car is dirty too

 

It was my first visit to New Orleans. I arrived on Monday 10/10 and I found a Ferrari F430 1 1/2 blocks from my hotel. It was a good way to start my trip. I did learn from a Harrah's valet that Bruce Willis shot a scene there for an upcoming movie this past month. They shipped in 9 exotics to place in front of the casino to be in the scene. It would of been a blast to see those cars (it would of kept me out of the casino -LOL.) Also, I talked with a valet at Harrah's Hotel (Ruth Chris). He has a regular customer who dines once a week. He's supposed to own 2 Ferrari's and a yellow Lamborghini.

I really enjoyed my visit.

Silver 430 Spyder turn from Camelia onto Kaliste Saloom this evening. Very pretty car.

 

Red 550 at the valet area of the Hilton on North Market in Shreveport this morning. The exotics are always there for the weekend, no point in looking during the week.

 

Lime-green Porsche GT3-RS parked illegally on the side street by Houston's here in New Orleans. License plate of "M.D." not helping the cause...

I loved how the first owner of the black F50 used to have no problem parking in between two cars in a movie theater parking lot. That's what's up.

 

that looks like the one that I jokingly call my stalker because I've seen it so much, except it's odd it doesn't have a plate if that's the same one.

 

I couldn't agree more.
Anytime I see a car - any car- parked where upon it is taking more than one space, parked diagonally or in a HC space, I just think: JACKASS. And that's one time when if I'd see someone keying it, towing it, etc... I look the other way.

Rudeness and arrogance begets impending disaster.

 

+1

 

so if i park far out in the parking lot and take two spaces i deserve to be keyed?

 

I dont think so. But you would probably be getting more negative attention than you actually ever wanted in the first place. People do stupid things so it always makes me curious why others would do things to further attract that negative attention.

Not worth it in my opinion.

 

I kinda have to agree here. Most f50 owners are probably pretty liquid, and therefore aren't so uptight about their toys. Most gt3 guys just came upon a little bit of money to finally purchase something they like and are a little more cautious.

Now to that point, M.D. on your tag is cheesy beyond imagination, and parking like a jackass so that it interferes with others isn't cool. But I'll be the first to park away from the crowds to try and avoid some 99%er who may try to take his retribution out on my obviously fat cat way of life all day.

Moral of the story, nothing wrong with trying to avoid a door ding, just don't do it so that it obstructs others needlessly.

 

There was a CL AMG with, I think, Renntech badges in Mandeville. A red 430 on Magazine street and this was at Ruth's Chris in Metairie. LFA?

Yeah, I don't have a problem with someone who parks far away to protect his car, even taking up two spaces. But someone who does it in a crowded lot just reeks of arrogance, which is repulsive IMO. It's also annoying when they shove their car right up front in a spot that's not even a spot, like this guy I dated in college who parked his Nissan Z on the curb up in front of a bar right in front of the door because he thought he was special. When we came out people had spit all over it, which I thought was pretty funny but didn't tell him.

 

R8 convertible slumming it in Slidell yesterday. Same one I've seen a couple other times including the first Cars & Coffee.

Looks like the 4.2 Spyder we sold at Harris Audi
