South Bay I see these types of cars all the time. Lambos, Bentlys, Tesla's, Aston Martin's, Ferrari's, you name it. Hardly any musclecars. I look at them more.

pretty rare in these parts mike.although the mn vikings traing camp is right down the road from where i work.i don't think you could get a football player in one of these cars though.

Those cars are pretty tiny, but they handle like you wouldn't believe! They are built for the track. I'm not sure the actual numbers but it has only 240 hp or so (I could be wrong, I know they make a supercharged version too) but the car only weighs like 1800 lbs! They are pretty dang quick and will out-turn a Corvette on the track.

The most amazing Euro car I ever saw driving on the road was a couple of months ago. We were driving to Monterey on hwy 1 to celebrate her B.D. one day. As we were driving, we started to approach a Ferrari. The driver was driving extremely defensive making sure to keep away from any and all cars. I looked at it for a long time realizing I never recalled seeing one like it before.

The next day I was watching a show about super rare cars. And there it was the car I saw...The Ferrari Superfast V-12. Only 37 built. Top speed when made back then was 170+ mph. Quite fast for its time. Est. value at over $800,000 dollars.

Doesn't matter whether it's domestic or euro. Anything rare with a rich history be it a Hemi cuda or Ferrari deserves respect.

Wow, that's pretty cool. I saw a Ford GT not too long ago at home. Not quite as rare as the Ferrari, but still quite uncommon. Pretty cool to see one on the road!

I would love to play with an Exige for a day or 3

I thought about buying a Lotus Elise for a minute.  I couldn't see driving it as a daily driver though I would have had a hard time getting more than a few bags of groceries in that thing.  But what fun!

$$$ cars are pretty common around here.  I had a guy in a Diablo almost break his neck looking at the purple challenger the other day.
