    I'd say a few laps in San Marcos might be just as much fun as a week around town...but then I'd imagine pitching 300k + Sterling fearlessly at fresh armco is a learned sport :)

    I believe they are an option. They look great on the GranTurismos. They had a white one with those darker wheels outside of the Ferrari dealership here in Arizona and it looked amazing.

    I had forgotten about it but yesterday morning I spotted a silver Aston Martin DBS parked somewhere downtown.

    This morning I spotted what looked like a black Aston Martin DBS Volante heading east on Bee Cave Rd near Barton Creek Blvd.

    Then I spotted a Rosso Corsa California with the top up heading east on Bee Cave Rd near Cuernavaca Dr.

    At about 3:30pm I spotted a black Bentley Flying spur heading West on Bee Cave Rd near 360.

    458's don't have VIN on the steering column. They are in the same location as the California and 599...and Audi, and MB, etc....

    They are indeed an option. Trident wheels in Grigio.

    Did you happen to see the interior? I'm wondering if this is the one with Creama interior that almost looks white.

    As much as I love the black 458 (I'm biased towards black exotics), the dark silver 458 looks like a literal spaceship. Wow, just wow.

    I'd go months if not year(s) w/o seeing a Ferrari in the wild in WPenn in the '80s/'90s, but in Austin I'm amazed that it's days at most (often multiples in a given day).

    Excellent photos as always Mike, very few people get a chance to see the F1 car.

    Thanks Will. I'm really glad I got a chance to see it up close.

    Both cars will be at the dealership for a couple more days if anyone wants to stop by and check them out.

    I usually don't lay on the floor at FoA but I did for some of those photos. They all know me & I'm usually the only one there, other than the employees. Nobody was even in the room with me when I was photographing those cars.

    I'm sure people driving or walking by might have thought it looked weird. :)
