    I am a freshmen at the University of Florida. I am curious to know if there are any Gators or people in the G-Ville area with any exotic cars (Ferrari Aston etc.)

    While I'm not too far away for G-Ville (go there often for the games), the previous owner of my TR was a UF grad, and lived there for a while afterwards before getting married / selling the TR / and moving. Don't know of any other owners personally in the area.

    Nice to meet you though :)

    I'll be in Roswell, Georgia the 24-26 of November for Thanksgiving. We go there every year. I like your car and your plate.

    When my father and I are ready in about a year; we are going to get a 348tb. There will be a gator plate on our f-car!

    I, too, am in the next state over/up (GA) and am a Gator (82-96). I toy with the idea of a Ferrari, but for now I drive an Aston. I will say the 360 is a mighty appealing prospect, though... :)

    Keep looking around G'ville. During my time there was a red 308, and a red Lamborghini Countach in the area. It wouldn't surprise me if you found others who don't visit the boards.

    When my dad sells his house there will be a red 348 tb in the Gainesville area and my father and I will be driving it. The nicest car that I have seen on campus is a Porsche Carrera 4 convertable.

    I got a job at a really nice jewelry store in town to show my dad that I appriciate what he wants to do for us. I'll make what contribution I can to the 348 purchase.

    It was crazy. There were so many parties and people on the street cheering for the Gators. I was stopped at a red light in my Miata right in front of the Swamp. They were throwing around tp and decided my car was a good target. I didn't mind though. I was just as excited and happy as everyone else. I went to a friends house after walking around University. I got back to my dorm at 3 in the morning. I had a great night.

    Go Gators!!!!!!

    Yeah, I thought it was pretty classy of Coach Bowden to let you guys know how badly you screwed up firing Zook. :)

    Was it "Free Shoe University" or "Felony State University" back then?

    Nope. The buzz was, "Go Freak instead of Greek. It's a better rush."

    Bowden's first year was my last. FSU was a chick school before it became a football school. Man, was life good.

    Well, I'm a bit west of G-ville nowadays, Los Angeles to be exact.
    I kept my University of Florida plates as long as I could but finally had to switch to CA plates.
    Great to see those guys end their year on a high note.
    Tough year for Gator Football. Tougher yet to deal with all these USC fans!
    It just doesn't seem like football the way they play it out here.:D

    I remember seeing a red 308 on my way to the house several times a week,
    but that was a "few" years back.

    Hey Gang,

    Count one more gator grad in here... B.S./M.S. May '02, now in Colorado (doing the doctoral thing).

    What great times were had in Gainesville, eh?

    In my five years there... Admittedly, before my Ferrari days... I saw a total of three Ferraris. One, a (yellow?) 308 GT4 parked outside of Publix on 34th and University; Two, a red testarossa driven by a professionally dressed african american guy, heading west on University; and red three, a 348 (ts, I think) parked by the "New Engineering Building" just south of museum road.

    I have the sneaking suspiscion that there are quite a few more F-cars hanging around the area :).

    Go gators!

    In my day--1972-74--I don't remember ever seeing any Ferraris there, but then in those days fewer people owned them.

    I was more concerned with keeping my Chevy Nova going. During a spring break back home in Miami, I collided--nearly head-on--with a U-Haul truck being driven by--another UF student! Fortunately it was a fairly low-speed impact, but the Nova was a bit deranged for the remaining four years that I owned it.

    Tommy, if you're ever in Atlanta, I'll give you a ride in the 328.
