    Last week, I saw a grey Ford GT with silver stripes on South Virginia Street. He turned into the Wal-Mart parking lot.

    Today, I saw a white (!) Ferrari 348TS going south on 395 while I was at Sport Haus. Looked really good in white.

    Saw the white 348TS again this evening; followed it on the freeway and managed to get a picture. Sorry for the crappy quality; pic was taken with my iPod touch. Car had California plates and looked to be in really good condition.

    Saw a brand-new Black Rolls Royce turning onto South Virginia Street by Kohl's. Still had dealer plates on it. Looked really good.

    I live in Reno as well and I have seen most of the cars you have seen. The black 458 lives in Caughlin.

    Have you seen the f40? He and his wife cruise their cars all the time. They live near my parents house. Usually the wife is driving the mp4 12c.

    Also my friends father just got a new sls.

    There is a red 458, 430, zr1, isf, and many others in arrowcreek.

    In lakeridge theres a RR phantom, murcielago, and gallardo.


    i keep my eye out haha. do you drive an exotic?

    saw an all black murcielago lp640 sv downtown the other day. so beautiful....


    edit: judging by your photography facebook you already know some of these people.

    Yes, the owner of the F40 and the MP4-12C is a great friend of mine. He is also a member of this site. He no longer has the black 458 so there is only one black 458 left in Reno and that owner lives over by Windy Hill (also a great friend of mine and member of this site.) I have seen the black LP-670 SV once...I saw it turning into Caughlin Ranch. As far as the Murcielago and Gallardo in Lakeridge, if it's the same person I'm thinking of, they are owned by one person; he also has numerous Ferraris, Bentleys, and other cars.

    I do not drive an exotic currently, I'm a student at UNR (we've talked via PM before).

    Gorgeous red F430 Spider near Lenz Elementary School this afternoon in South Reno.

    BTW, as you can see, I've been trying my best to get photos of my spots for you guys. ;) Here's one of the F430 Spider I saw today.

    Saw this "Rocket car/trike" today on, appropriately, Skyline blvd. here in Reno.
    Don't know if it qualifies as an exotic but it sure is different. (not my photo)

    Wow!! Never seen that around town before; that photo was taken right by UNR. I'll have to keep my eye open for it (not that it would be hard to miss...

    Ed, I know where the rocket car lives here in Reno. I looked at your profile - is that a Jensen Interceptor?

    That must have been Cuneo. His car looks and sounds amazing. Possibly could have been SKUSA. nonetheless Another timeless and effortlessly gorgeous Nero F355 Berlinetta...Yes, people still drive beautiful high-maintenance classics.

    :eek: NO!!!!! I must find this car. Do you know who owns it? PM me if you'd like.

    Today in Reno, I saw a black RR Phantom (pulled up next to us in the F40), and a black Bentley Arnage.

    If it was SKUSA you'd know because his 355 sounds more like a Hawker 900XP that hasn't gotten airborne yet. I think I suffered actual hearing loss last time he passed me with the windows down.

    Jessica and I drove the 360 down to Los Gatos the other day and were walking down the main drag when we saw a gorgeous black 458. The driver's window was down, so as he slowly passed, I bowed down my arms and gave him the "we're not worthyyyy..." with a huge smile on my face. The guy gave us a smirk/dirty look.

    Last night, Followed a beautiful 360 Modena Rosso Corsa with challenge grill from Fairfield through walnut Creek on the way back from a ski Holliday in Tahoe. It's always great to cruise home with a wonderful view.
