    Yesterday afternoon at about 3:15, on my way back from Charlotte on NC 49 between Mt. Pleasant and Richfield, saw a blue Ferrari heading in the opposite direction. Think it was a 328 but I didn't get a good enough look at it to tell. Anyone on here want to claim it?

    The charlotte auto fair took place this weekend and there were a few f cars cruising downtown trying to promote it. May have been them?

    Saw a video of them driving around in uptown, but no McLarens were in the video. Wouldn't surprise me to learn there was a connection between it and the car show though. Wish I got to see it in person.

    Beauuuutiful blue Maserati Gran Turismo getting off of I-85N on Pelham Rd today in Greenville. I believe this gentleman also owns a red 458 locally.

    Lol. Don't we all....hardly a day goes by without at least one or two exotic car spottings. The weekends can definitely be insane, I saw a ton of stuff, and didn't even check most of the other nearby plazas.

    Saw a blue Aston Martin on Kildaire Farm Rd in front of Trader Joe's of Cary this afternoon at about 3:45. Think it was a V8 Vantage (as I've seen a blue V8 Vantage in Cary before) but it might have been a Vanquish. Tried to chase it but hit too many red lights. Then, at about 4:45, saw a red Ferrari F430 Spider driving past the Whole Foods plaza. Couldn't react in time to get any pics.

    Red California passed me on I-40 about 10 miles before I got to Wilmington, around 3:45. It was cool driving behind a Ferrari on the interstate!

    Earlier today, at around 12:15, saw a black Maserati GranCabrio at Whole Foods Cary. Had it's top down which was pretty cool.

    Saw what I'm guessing is Woody's new F12 at Mercedes, Cary today a little after noon. Stunning car in the flesh! 1st one I've seen on the road.

    Saw a very nice 430 coupe headed toward the the Greenville / Spartanburg area on I-85 today. He had a group of cars right around him. I assume taking pictures.

    I'm not! I see some of the same cars every now and then, especially if I know where they work/dine frequently, but I'd rather see something every day than nothing!

    Didn't get a good look at the driver, but I kind of doubt it was yours. The color on the one I saw was BRIGHT blue...if you're familiar with what Aston calls "Flugplatz Blue," it was just a shade darker than that. Gorgeous car though, wish I could catch it and get some pics.
