    That looks very fake from the pictures. My guess is it's a replica.

    That rear end looks different for some reason. Or maybe it's just the camera?

    No it looks fake now after I compared it to real 355 spider pics.

    Maybe because there is a Scuderia Ferrari badge sticker instead of the prancing horse emblem? :D

    Totally fake. Look at the sides and the front. That's absurd. :rolleyes:

    It wasn't running according to the OP. Which is strange, because replicas are usually totally reliable. :rolleyes:

    Oh, I see. It just sits there. Ok.

    I used to joke that my 308 is a Fiero replica because it was so reliable. Meanwhile the joke is on me with all the things going wrong. :(

    Silver 550 Maranello in the parking lot of the North Ave Home Depot today around 4:45 PM. The cabin was packed full of boxes, etc. Happy to see an FCar being used to run errands. :)

    Pure. Happiness. :)


    I have lots of spots to report from this weekend:

    Saturday:

    Grey Viper in Glenview around 10pm.
    Grey Nissan GTR in Glenview at midnight. I saw 4 teenagers get into the car and speed off. Crazy...


    Today:

    Ron driving his matte white GTR in Glenview on Lake St. at 5:25. Looked sinister!
    A GREEN Maserati Coupe in Highwood around 5:45
    Silver Panamera in Highwood around 6pm
    Red F430 in Highwood around 6:30
    Black Bentley Continental GT in Highwood around 7.

    I know a kid at my school that drove a gray GT-R. His dad had a black gallardo that the kid brought to school a few times. The kid also had a modded 335xi and his brother had a 350Z and E92 M3.

    It's Tony Tag, not Gag. Despite the rumors I don't really think he's in porn :)

    I think Andrew used "Gag" on purpose.
    Anyway,that's how my wife reacted when he blew her a kiss while driving very,very slowly by Le Colonial last Summer where she had a lunch....
