    Seeing a Ferrari, to say the least, makes my day. I hate looking a pictures and seeing people in the background who don't care. Has anyone seen an FXX? To me that seems impossible to find, especially since there not street legal. I think I missed all the deliveries, and I never caught one at a dealer under wraps. I have seen
    4 360 Modenas
    1 360 Spider
    456M
    2 308
    2 328
    1 F430
    1 F430 Spider
    1 Testarossa
    1 348
    I have to shamefully admit while I wa at Boardwalk Ferrari I walked into the back of the garage, and for some reason only looked at the beautiful silver 360 Spider that was lifted. I did not walk in and look at the 10 or 12 cars behind it, all also lifted it. It was an unbelievable sight.

    Here in Palm Beach County, I can see F-cars every day. We host the biggest Ferrari show every year - Cavallino Classic.

    I couldn't tell you how many I've seen, but it's in the hundreds, including all the supercars: FXX, Enzo, F50, F40, 288GTO.

    I've also see about a half dozen Carrera GTs on the road. Lots of Ford GTs, too.

    We live in automotive la-la land here!

    too many to count. the last one I saw was a red f430. It was two cars ahead of me yesterday. It looked and sounded sweet.

    I haven't seen a f40 in person, but have a f50 and several enzo's.

    NOT ENOUGH!

    I live near a fairly affluent area, and when we first moved here there were several guys daily driving some great Italian cars: a green 275 GTB, a yellow 330 GTS, a yellow Miura, and the closest to us, about a mile away, was a silver 365 GTC4. Several years ago, a classic sports car rally passed over our mountain road and stopped at the lodge at the lake at the top for lunch. There were several 250 GT SWBs there, and I video taped them as they left. I will never forget the song of those 250s as they drove away, fantastic! Now, except for an occasional 308, a general lack of taste has taken over and we see mostly just German cars (BORING!).

    ferrari's are pretty much the only exotic cars ive ever seen if you dont count the common elise. I might see an elise every 6 months. Ive seen an esprit once, maybe 3 nsx's, 1 CGT (inside the dealership, its still there) And never a lamborghini.

    Here you don't see many and personally I've never seen one on the road. However I've seen a few at a show, parked. They included: 1 red 328 GTS, blue mondial qv, two black 348, silver 550 maranello,

    So I've seen about 5. I hope to attend the local show again and see more this time. HOpefully get to sit in one or a few and maybe get a ride also? Hoping to stop by a dealership soon (seattle maybe)

    I've seen a lot, but the first one was definitely the best. I was eight and a neighbor drove buy in his F40. It was a very memorable sight and sound. I later got my first Ferrari ride in the car. It was a great thrill.

    Outside of car shows and other similar events, I'll admit I haven't seen many on the street. In 9 years here in Marietta (a significant suburb of Atlanta), I've seen only 3. I think the most I've seen in a short period was during lunch in Boca Raton, FL, a few months ago when 5 came by in less than 90 minutes.

    At least I can go down to my garage anytime and see one.

    This thread made me think of my very first Ferrari seen in the flesh -
    It was a 250GT Lusso in metallic grey. It was sitting in the bay of a little import garage in Bethany, Oklahoma back in 1969 when I had these guys adjust the valves on my Porsche 911T. I was super-fascinated by the center mounted tach/speedo and that big long shifter!

    It was several years later when I got a Ferrari road cars book that I figured out what Ferrari model it was and just how rare this was to find in Oklahoma - come to think of it, I have never seen a real (Lusso) again since.

    But literally at least a couple hundred of the many other models...
