    Oh man. Even if you bought a Testarossa (especially an early, single mirror car) or a 512TR in '09, you could have probably almost doubled your money on it by now. PLUS, you get to drive it and enjoy that flat-12 sound!

    If it's in your garage does it count as a spot?

    Oh yeah! Forgot about that one. Grey SLS on Friday on I-80.

    I'd say in your case, absolutely! :D Let's see the new addition.

    The nice weather brought out a few interesting cars at Flashbacks tonight, including a blue Lotus Exige, yellow Lotus Elise, brown 1969 Lotus Europa, silver Bentley Continental GT, white 2014 Dodge Viper GTS, red Dodge Viper RT/10, red Audi R8 V10, black Acura NSX, red 1936 Auburn Boattail Speedster replica, and a bright green 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird.

    I also saw a red Ferrari 360 Spider eastbound on 1-80 at 72nd St. and a dark gray Audi R8 at 42nd and Leavenworth around 3:15 this afternoon.

    That sounds like a great meet, I wish I could have been there but family obligations kept me home. It's nice to see an active car culture in Nebraska.

    Saturday was a crazy good turnout for C&C, I'd say the best one since West O has been going. I certainly don't remember seeing that many Ferraris at any other meet.

    Cruising up there with the McLaren was fun. It'll be back in town this weekend.

    Wow, thanks, Parker! Sounds like it was a cool meet. I was at the C&C in Fort Walton Beach that day. :) It was HOT there, so we didn't stay for the full meet, but there wasn't a single Ferrari or Lambo in attendance while we were there. There was a nice red 356 sunroof coupe and a V8, RWD Honda CRX, among others, though.

    The next day, I got to drive an Alfa 4C. :-D My first flappy paddle experience.

    I finally made the 150 mile journey to Alda, NE to visit the Merrick Museum. They have a really remarkable collection; aside from a neat array of classic Italian supercars, they also have quite a few exceptionally rare pre-1920 vehicles. Some highlights of the collection include:
    1967 Lamborghini 400 GT
    Lamborghini Urraco
    Lamborghini Silhouette
    Lamborghini Jalpa
    1988 Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV
    Ferrari 308 GTS
    1978 Maserati Merak
    1926 Rolls Royce Phantom I

    I honestly had no idea that museum existed. Absolutely love that Jalpa.

    Every time I've been near by and stopped, they've been closed. Did you have to call ahead?

    What's the address? All I find on the Internet is a P.O. box. Looks like a cool place to visit - maybe we could do a group drive there sometime?

    They give tours Mon-Fri by appointment only. You can schedule a tour by calling 308-384-1780; ask for Jenny. The collection is actually stored in three separate facilities, all of which are included in the tour. Two of the buildings are located at 106 Apollo Ave in Alda and the third is about five miles away in Grand Island.

    That would be great, if you decide to do that, keep everyone posted.
