    I saw a really attractive woman driving a red TR the other day through Johns Creek. No picture, but I wished I had taken one.. she was letting the car rev really well through the gears. she knew what she was doing..

    While driving home this evening, I saw a solid red Nash Metropolitan (!)......with a hood scoop! Are you kidding? He must have given steroid injections to the mice under the hood. :D:D:D

    WOW! I have yet to see one in georgia apart from the prototype at the high museum. On Instagram a few lucky people have spotted a 918 in buckhead and sandy springs. I also know someone with a 918 ordered, but he doesn't know when it will be delivered. Hope to see your client's car soon!

    Thank you George!

    Pigtails aka sanding scratches. Two of these (blue and silver) are liquid metal optional colors at $63k. Ferrari's are no different. We once polished a new black FF, the hole rear clip was resprayed, blend lines plain as day on the rear pillars.

    ....my friend Keith (@ Chuforia) was the lucky one to do a full clear wrap on two of them while down at PCNA. I forget their names. (The female car nicknames.....think one was Alice)

    Last night, while heading westbound on Roswell Road in east Cobb, I saw a white California with black top ahead of me. It turned northbound on Old Canton Road. Anyone here belong to that car?

    in this thread I see tons of cars at various hotels or pubs. looks like the photographer is a valet parker ?

    do F chat owners have your car valet parked often ? I dont think I would let a valet park my car.. especially some of the new Ferrari's on this thread.

    do people valet ?

    All these valet fail videos I've seen recently make me think twice about letting a valet park my car (when I get a car). But at Lenox they valet tons and tons of cars there on the busy days. So far I've heard nothing about crashes or fender benders.

    Ha. I had this realization about 10 years ago. I would never, ever, ever valet at Lenox or any other place. The are plenty of places to park at Lenox right next to a door. The parking deck goes all the way around the mall.

    I Uber at night so it's a non factor.

    Every so often a few friends and I walk around buckhead with our cameras ready to get whatever drives by or we find in the parking decks. I've seen some pretty amazing cars there but I'm still hoping to see the new 918 spyder that has been spotted in buckhead a few times.

    I just keep thinking about that scene in Ferris Buellers day off ... the Valet guys had fun in that Ferrari 250 kit car.

    Has anybody seen a brand new black and gold Ferrari in norcross recently? (my mom spotted one about half an hour ago pulling into a subdivision, since she has no idea what model it was i can only say it is black and gold- gold swirls... and a cardboard licence plate)

    It's a 458. I've seen it around. Sometimes parked in front of that "gangsta" hair salon at the corner of P'Tree and Piedmont.

    Well I showed my mom the 458 you are talking about, she said it's not the same. She and I have seen the exclusive game car at the buckhead store a few times before. I texted some friends who live in the subdivision that the car was spotted in and they know nothing about it. I guess the hunt continues for this elusive ferrari!

    Yeah, I was a little unsure when you said "swirls," but figured, how many black and gold 458's can there be around here? Oh well, I tried. Hope you find it!
