Well, spring/summer finally arrived in New York, so I took a drive from my apartment in SoHo to Montauk point. So in one day, here's what I saw:

A new silver Porsche GT2,

A silver 360 Modena (i checked his car out as we passed...he was checking out mine!)

TWO 550 Maranellos, one silver/maroon, one black/beige.

A classic 250 spyder (or some old Ferrari open-top GT racer of concours quality...sounded awesome driving by).

A red s2000 (two asian guys driving up Broadway...exhaust was rumbling nice and low, like Mugen)

A white 2001 M3 (parked in front of one of the 550's)

Ten thousand, four hundred and eighty nine Boxsters and Z3's (ho hum)

Aston DB7 cabriolet

The 911 Targa with the glass roof (a personal favorite).

A carrera 4 (no biggie, but also a personal fave)

Some others that I'm forgetting.

What a disgusting display of wealth!! I love it!! BTW, Montauk was awesome.
