    Thank You. I plan to visit Gental Dental often to see if any of the owners cars are there. I will keep many posted. I also see many cars during the Summer at Butcher Block in Cedar Rapids.

    I have been seeing the black AM more lately, I think a student owns it. Also I've seen about 4 different GTRs and last night I saw an SLS AMG on campus. I believe the same kid owns one of the GTRs. Can't wait for it to start warming up!

    Went to Des Moines today. Saw the the black AM vantage that I see in Ames a lot. I also saw a red Polaris Slingshot, red 458 Italia, and a black Bentley CGT. Sorry, didn't get pics of any, saw all while I was driving and couldn't get a picture quick enough.

    Went to West Des Moines/Clive on Sunday and saw a Black Maserati GranTurismo by Jordan Creek. I saw the slingshot again going down the road in Clive, a Porsche GT3RS near Clive, and a RR Phantom at Office Depot in Clive.

    I have seen 2 RR Ghosts and a Phantom around West Des Moines/Clive and I know of a RR Wraith. Anyone know of any other RR around?

    At a cost of $300K+, a length of 17+ ft, and a weight of 5,000+ lbs...... they damn well should have a presence...... :D

    Des Moines.

    Coincidentally, I just ran into the owner today (we live in the same neighborhood). He and wife are retiring and moving out of the country soon, so he is selling the Mosler ---- and the other cars he has ---- in the very near future. So, you probably won't get the cahnce to see it around here anymore (I highly doubt they will get sold locally).

    Not having read the complete thread, a university friend in Des Moines brother has a 330 GTC. I have not seen it, nor do I have any photographs.

    If the car is red and his last name starts with an "L", that car is long gone.

    I should also add if the last name ends in an "a", too ;)

    Since you are Italian, I assume you refer to the that person.....who is also from an Italian family here in Des Moines.

    Because there is another red 330 GTC here owned by another gentleman whose last name also happens to begin with an "L", but he is not Italian. :)

    Anyway, feel free to send me a PM if you wish on the subject and the cars. I know both the owners and both the cars fairly well.

    There are so many exotics in Iowa, a lot more than I expected. That sucks about the Mosler, but good for him. Just curious, what other cars does that gentleman have that he will be selling?
