    Ok, so that was a pic from the opening? I was confused. Thought it was from the one that was delivered last week.

    Correct. I only had my blackberry when I saw the one last week. I wasn't able to get any decent photos of it.

    Last Sunday I spotted a black/tan Maserati QP at 3rd & Congress.

    Monday I spotted a red Viper SRT-10 on 8th near Congress. I passed by it pretty quick but something looked different, like maybe a convertible hardtop.

    It's back...had a ride today! You can get some good shots now...

    Oh, and can you send me those shots of the kids in the grocery carts if you get a minute.

    Thanks! It really degrades the quality when I upload them on this site.

    Kev mentioned that Paul took a look at it yesterday. :)

    Yesterday I spotted a silver/tan Maserati GT on South Lamar near Pep Boys, red Lobster & all of that.

    This morning I spotted a gray Aston Martin Vantage on Lamar near 10th street.

    Last Wednesday I saw a red Cali pulling out of the Sonic on 290 in Giddings . I guess it was on its way to Houston? I was in the truck on the way to our ranch 20 mins from G.

    I perhaps may have seen the same one today, a red F458 on 620 near 2222, early in the afternoon. And yes, my first encounter in the wild too (other than car-shows / showroom).

    An hour or so before that, crossed paths w/ a silver Lotus ESPRIT on Parmer Lane near Avery Ranch Blvd.

    Two days earlier (early Friday evening), noted a new'ish silver Dodge Viper on Parmer Lane near 620 (leaving Spectrum).

    Funny...I saw that same Lotus. I was in my SRT Jeep at the light going north on Parmer when I saw him do a u-turn into the Walgreens. Guess you and I were at the same intersection?

    Quite a small world indeed! Yes, it appears we were at/near the same intersection at the same time (a 4-way intersection w/ Z-Tejas + CVS + Walgreens + Waterloo); I was on Avery Ranch Blvd. next to the Walgreens, heading onto Parmer towards 620. Growing up, I was enamored w/ the ESPRIT! :D

    Generally speaking, all I usually see here'abouts/there'abouts are an occasional Viper, a Z8, an R8, a few 911 Carrera's, some Elise's, and an occasional NSX. Obviously, Lake Travis areas / West Austin / downtown, etc' are a different story. . .

    I ran across this Daytona this weekend. I think it moved here from Houston recently with a few other interesting cars in a collection.

    One of my spies spotted a red Ferrari on a flatbed tow truck near 3rd & Congress today. He doesn't really know the different models.
