I thought you receive a special "park-like-a-butthead" license when you buy a car with a value > $200,000. Was I wrong? [/joke]

I would have backed my 458 in-between two spots diagonally. A woman on the cellphone in her Excursion probably thinks her tank could fit beside the car

[sigh] The Car Gods are rubbing my nose in it today. Not only did I see one 458 at lunch, I just ran out to grab a Dr. Pepper at the local convenience store and what's sitting in our office complex parking lot? Another 458; this one was red.

Well, you're not going to believe this but, I saw a yellow 458 (with CF hood and top) sitting in the parking lot down the street from my office today. That's three in two days. Oh, and an Aston Martin DBS convertible on the way back from lunch. Uggghhh.

Is this the car that is as popular as a Civic?


I think I saw a red one a few minutes ago. Unless there is a model with similar taillights, this was it. No pics though. I guess this is my red Ferrari day. I wonder what I will see on the way home.

nspec is that a 430? Can't tell but it looks like the air scoop up top is from a 430. Could be mistaken though

I think it's a Ferrari F430 now that I look at it more closely.

I think it's a 360. The F430 had a grill on the scoops.

Hmmmmm. The angles look wrong (below). I think I was wrong about the 430 though, I don't think it stands up enough to be the 430's scoops.
