Any Challenge Stradales around DC metro area?

I'm pushing my friend to buy a 360 CS as he's interested in strip out and factory light weight car after driving mine. Since he has never seen a CS in person, wondering if any of you gents know of any local owners that go to cars and coffee or meets because we like to attend if he/she's going to be there.

Cheers,
K

If i remember correctly i think i own a stradale but i almost forgot since it has been hijacked by ferrari of washington for 5 months. Motor blew right after i bought it. metal fragments from the catalytic converters were injested into the engine... a known problem with the factory cats. luckily it was covered under the 8-80 emissions warranty but ferrari of washington is pretty much worthless so i am at the point where i might pull it from the dealer. They built a new motor for it and have spent the last month trying to get it to run. No luck. Hopefully it gets back together somehow before winter so i can make a couple appearances at kates in great falls. Other than that the car is amazing. Beware Ferrari of Washington.

Sorry to hear about the troubles. Hopefully, everything will get sorted out soon. Bought myself a Scud from FoW last month and experience definitely could be better, imo.
