A Scuderia and a 16M on the Embarcadero in SF.
I was stopped to the side in my red Scud, taking a phone call- sorry I didn't react fast enough to wave back!...

A Yellow Lamborghini Gallardo Spider and silver GTR followed me (in my red F430) on Skyline Blvd yesterday. Cars looked awesome!

I also was also passed on Skyline near Big Basin by a red 911 driven by an impatient a-hole who couldn't wait for a proper or legal place to pass and ended up showering my car with middle of the road debris. I'll definitely look for you again on Skyline as I'd love to return the favor...

On 280 on the Peninsula this afternoon. I was driving the world's dorkiest van, I did not wave.

(The new iPhone4 actually takes pictures of moving objects and they don't look like Dali paintings unlike the iPhone3!)

In the Sacramento area today...

Drove over the hill to take the Mini in for service in Sacramento today. On the way there, I saw a yellow Ferrari Testarossa heading east on I-80 by Camping World. The Ferraris and Maseratis at Niello Maserati of Sacramento were fun to gawk over while my Mini was getting serviced next door.

Saw about 60

Saw about 60 Ferrari's in the Delta today all in one obscure spot, including four 458 Italias, a 599 GTO and a Daytona. Awesome Delta Dash to celebrate Enzo's birthday.

Just curious???
Why do we NEVER see pics from your posts???
You seem like a tech kind of kid, but somehow never have your camera phone "ready"
I spend a LOT of time in Tahoe/Reno and NEVER seem to "spot" the sightings you do.
Just an observation.
There is a difference in actual "spotting" as to "dreaming", appreciate your enthusiasm though!
BTW, I have a GREAT camera w/ my Droid X

Red face

I understand your skepticism about my spots; you would not believe the amount of PMs I've been getting in regards to this subject. I can assure you that all my spots are real and I do not make any of them up. Most of my spots are when I am driving and the "spot" is driving in the opposite direction. There is no chance in hell I'd be able to get a shot of that. lol. My cell phone doesn't have a camera, and I do not use my DSLR when I'm driving. If I ever spot an exotic that is stationary, I will get a shot and post it, but that very rarely happens as 99% of my spots are in traffic.

Edit: To anyone who still doesn't believe me, you are more than welcome to hang out with me for a weekend and I'll show you that there ARE a LOT of exotics in Reno, if you know where to look.

-G.B.

Have noticed a ton of the last gen Honda Preludes on the road lately Not sure why. More and more women driving the S2K recently. Increase of females in the Subaru STi, and '04 Golf R32 as well.
