    Yeah it was down about half this year. Apparently, there was a Concours event going on that same weekend?

    Just got to school. On my way here, I spotted a BEAUTIFUL two-tone red/black Ferrari 512 BBi at the Super 8 motel by Roller Kingdom. Probably one of the crappiest motels in Reno...suprised to see a car like this there. California plates "FORZA BB."

    :cool:

    Gil, whenever I look in this thread out of curiosity, you always have some crazy spots.

    I think you need to bring your camera with you more often :D

    So here's how it went (all truth...no B.S.)

    I was with a group of friends eating dinner at a sandwich shop. My camera was in my friend's car. I take a bite of my sandwich, look up and see a red Ferrari F50 go by. I panicked, accidentally spit some of my sandwich on my friend across than me, and ran out of the shop to try and get a better look. It was already down the street and I wouldn't have been able to get a shot even if i had my camera around my neck. Let's say that I made a scene at the sandwich shop though. :eek:

    I just saw that red/black 512 BBi again in the same location. I find it strange that a Ferrari owner would stay in that kind of place. FWIW, I was mistaken...it's not a Super 8 Motel, it's a Days Inn. :eek:

    So I got done with my classes today and started to head home. Drove by the hotel and the Ferrari was not in the parking lot. About 2 miles down the road, I see a flat-bed tow truck...with the Ferrari on the flat bed. I'd really like to know the story behind that car.

    Followed a gorgeous Dark Blue Maserati Granturismo S with black wheels (Standard S wheels) and tan interior on 395 from the Ford Dealership to the Kietzke/Neil exit. Gave him a thumbs up; he waved, downshifted, and took off. :)

    I'm not really a spotter but there were two instances I had to say something. 1st was a Tesla that I saw 5 months before they were being sold go down California street. Today was #2.
