    there are several GranSports around and black seems to be the overwhelming most common color with Maseratis.

    this morning spotted a brand new dealer tags from Boardwalk black GranTurismo being delivered into Vaquero (home of Jonas bros and several pro athletes).

    Was in the White Rock Lake area today, and passed a house with what appeared to be a GT40 in the midst of restoration, but it was a hand built repro awaiting the finishing touches. Same house had a 69 (I think) Charger in the garage that looked amazing. Stopped and chatted with the owner. In Rowlett, pretty close to my house, a black on black Shelby GT with APR(?) Racing decals on the windows. Wonder if it is modded or just going for the ricer-mod look?

    Friday afternoon going south on Preston road in the Park Cities and red 430. Later on in the day going north on Inwood a Black on Black McClaren SLR. That is really an awesome looking vehicle! First one I have seen in person.

    On Monday, saw a beautiful later model Yellow Espirit, and a viscious looking Porsche, red, with a massive spoiler on the back. It was a 911 bodied, but I have to question what was lurking in the rear. Today, in the underground parking at American Airlines Center, a fleet of AMG's and a black Bentley CGT Speed (GO STARS!). Also, as an afterthought, does anyone know of a black RUF Cayenne in Dallas? I believe I saw one Downtown a few days back when I was on lunch...

    I thought I was spotting my first Arial Atom on NW Highway at Northpark, but it turned out being a 3 wheeled machine, with 2 in the front and one in the rear. Looked wild on the road, and the driver was enjoying the nice day.

    No joke! I was the guy sitting next to you and your buddy outside of Starbucks. Sweet ride man. I used to work for Ferrari of Dallas and when I heard you guys talking about Ferrari I wanted to chime in but I figured it would be rude :)

    Would this be it? It's a Campagna T-Rex (not the Real Estate family, or I'd be driving one myself!) Upgraded 1400cc (Kawasaki ZX-14) engine which has reverse and parking brake, 6 speed sequential transmission, carbon fiber package, wind deflector , roll cage, SBC Wheels, soft cover, 3-point seatbelts, digital/analog gauges.Additional available options include: stereo, exhaust (full or slip-on), computer mapping upgrade (Power Commander), LED lighting & painted/unpainted luggage compartments. $53,750 There is only one authorized dealer in Texas, and it's in Houston. They will deliver it and train how to drive at the time of delivery also. Not bad for just under 54k...

    There's a black Gemballa Cayenne in town with custom taillamps. He used to live in my apartment complex, but I never got around to taking a picture of it.

    I think that's at Ron's place, where you can rent exotics, including the ill-fated Gallardo that was destroyed last weekend.

    Black Bugatti at Highland Park Village this morning. It looks so much better in person! Chatted with owner, really nice guy. He is also a Ferrari guy with several F-car restorations under his belt.

    Could have been that, but the front facia looked like a RUF. I'm not a Porsche guy though so I could be wrong, I just know it wasn't a standard p-bug ute...

    That might have been it. Seems like a lot of money, but I'm sure it screams !

    No idea what was up with all the Astons yesterday. I counted 6 of them. One throttling past the Sheraton Downtown, dark blue. Then another, black I believe, at Richmond and Matilda. Then I could swear I seen two Rapides on Preston. Then a convertible at Matilda and McCommas around 6:30. Then there was a british racing green Elise or Exige (too dark out) at Greenville and Lewis last night before I became inebriated. There were a couple others, but the Crown Royal made me forget...

    I lived in Cedar Hill back in late 80's early 90's when I was a student at Northwood, that area has really blown up over the years.
