Known Exotics in Iowa

Parked in a handicap spot at Village Inn. When I was getting a pic, an older couple came out and got in. The gentleman had a hard time walking, but he sure rides in style! Look at that rims!!

Also saw a Lotus Esprit with Illinois plates somewhere on the East side the other day

The Maserati pictured above is actually for sale by Supreme Auto in Ames. It is a 2014 Ghibli, unsure of mileage, for $42,900. No affiliation, just came across the ad and figured I would pass along.

Saw this F430 in Johnston yesterday afternoon

A few days ago I saw a white Flying Spur with Florida plates by the airport, a Granturismo (also by the airport) and a blue and orange Lotus Elise at the Napa Auto Parts on Douglas near 75th street. Unfortanely I don't have any pictures

 

Saw a grey F-type at the UGCC today around 5:30

Also saw a white Alfa Romeo 4C Spider with Florida plates on SE 14 street around noon

 

Spotted a maroon Gallardo on I80 by the truck stop this afternoon

 

Ok, I am enjoying this thread, though I haven't made it through all 40 pages yet I live in Iowa with a 308GTSi & a 400i GT and have friends/acquaintances in my town with the following...
F355
348 GTS
456
328 GTS
458 Italia (2 different owners)
Maserati Gran Turismo
Lamborghini Aventador
So even in the middle of nowhere (which is somewhere to us) there are enthusiasts! I have learned a lot from the Fchat community and enjoy the same passion for these cars as all owners. Thank you for the education, enthusiasm, and entertainment. I consider Fchat more relevant to me than what Facebook has become and my kids call me addicted! Cheers from Iowa!

Welcome, Dan!

Which part of the middle of nowhere are you from?

 

For those of you who remember the white Speciale from Ames that was totaled last year; he now has an Huracan

Thank you FordMan! I live in Bettendorf (the east coast of Iowa, one of the greater quad cities of IA and IL. My 400i GT is a recent acquisition and I am still learning the ropes on this wonderful car, I have found a lot of valuable tips on this forum from those who have gone before me! I want to post some pictures of it soon but I am still working a few bugs out, what started as a simple set of plug wires has lured me down a longer (and more expensive) path but I am getting closer to the perfect purr I am looking for on this one, it's only a matter of time (and a few more parts)!

Ok, I don't get over that way much; I spot mostly in the Des Moines area.

Looking forward to seeing pictures of your cars

I recently (like, October 2016) saw a photo of a red 430 Scuderia and a white McLaren 675LT parked together, both wearing Iowa tags.

 

They both live in the DSM area. The gentleman with the red Scud is on this forum, he talked about getting a 488, maybe this spring.

 

Saw this F-type convertible at the Hy-Vee gas station off Lincoln Way around 4:30 today
