    I saw a pristine 360 Modena and pristine 430 coupe on the 15 southbound a couple of days ago. They weren't driving together, just chance. The 430 had "loaner" plates on it.

    A lawyer I know passed me in his yellow Huracan on the 215 on Saturday, yes, it looks like a spaceship on the road. People were even moving right out of the way for him.

    Pleasantly surprised to see a yellow / black wheels 360 coupe driving through the neighborhood late last night.

    Red 458 Spider at "Islanders" burger joint on Charleston. He didn't park next to me (had the Scud there). :-(

    Then on the way home from Islanders, on 95N for a stretch from Decatur to Ann, a yellow 458 Spider and then out of nowhere, a McLaren Orange/black 570S. First time I've seen a 570S in person. They say it's bigger than a 650 but my mind kept telling me it was smaller. After having a 650S and now, finally, seeing a 570S......yep....it's bigger. lol

    Gotta be honest....my Scud is such an event to drive but I do miss the Maca.

    Saw a red Huracan on the 95 heading north this morning. It had a fair amount of black contrasting areas in a similar styling pattern as a Gallardo SV. It looked great.

    I wonder if that's the one I've seen twice now. The other day on Charleston, and then in the parking area of the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop from Pawn Stars. It was the solid orange color and not the metallic Orange.

    Probably was. The solid orange is McLaren Heritage Orange. The metallic one is usually volcano orange, though they have multiple shades of orange now.

    Bruce McLaren used McLaren Orange in the same way Enzo used Rosso Scuderia. Because it showed up as a different, brighter shade of the base color to make it pop on TV. Not that you asked for all of that but, there it is. lol

    Yesterday saw the same blue i8 three times, lives next to my neighborhood. Red 458 spider around Town Center and Charleston.

    They have a red R8 V10 spider in a gated manual at the Audi dealer for $145k. Only V10 I've seen with the manual and not paddles. They also have a 2015 458 coupe, red/tan.

    The '17 body reminds me of an Audi interpretation of the Veyron. I've seen 0-60 vids showing 2.9 seconds?!

    According to Motor Trend's "driver's car of the year," 0-60 is 2.6 and the 1/4 mile is 10.6. That's seriously hauling ass for a road car. It feels much more like a serious exotic than her previous R8....and that SOUND!!

    For sure, welcome to Ferrarichat.

    It's funny, because it seems that the people in recent model V8s (458/488) are less responsive to greetings than guys in the older cars or V12s. Might be the demographics.

    Those are awesome! I had a '14 Evora S and put a deposit down for a Lotus 400 but it took so damn long for the car to be in USA that I pulled my deposit and ended up getting a Porsche Turbo S.

    Now I just have the Turbo S cab and a 458 Spider. The Lotus turns lots of heads as I'm sure you already know.

    I used to have fun asking people 'what did you think it was?' after I told them it was a Lotus. They usually thought it was a Mclaren or something......I'm sure you know the deal.

    A/C was not strong enough for the Vegas heat, and I always like convertibles better so the Porsche is staying.

    Love the wing on the back of your car. That's a car that could easily get away with putting some vertical doors on it.
    You probably think I'm crazy. :)

    Enjoy!!! Will definitely say hi if I see you on the road!!!

    White Testarossa at Town Square Whole Foods at lunchtime. Later, a matte black Superleggera 560 with a really loud exhaust at Charleston and Hualapai.

    I saw a white McLaren 675 Coupe heading south on the 15. Car looked great and sounded great, but damn, whoever was driving it had no idea what they were doing. Based purely on the rapid, unnecessary gear changes both up and down, and riding in much too low of a gear, plus hammering the gas to change lanes and almost losing it a couple of times, I think there was someone who had never driven a manual behind the wheel.

    A lot of time the newer cars are bought by 'normal' people buying a great sports car, whereas the older stuff is generally sought out by collectors and tifosi, maybe with a little more interest in the marque itself rather than just getting a great car that next time could be an r8, lambo or whatever is on the company lease list
