I live in a middle class neighborhood. But in the last month or so I've seen 4 Ferraris in my neigborhood -- a white Tesstorosa, a red 355F Spyder, an older red 308 GTS, and a Black 465 Maranello. The owner of the Maranello actually brought his car to the local Safeway!! Gees, the Nasdaq has been good to everybody.

I guess they must have bought them last year then!

I live in a neighborhood that adjoins one with much wealth. I see at least a few Ferraris a week (yellow 360, silver 355 spider, and red 456 regularly).

That number of cars was dwarfed in a recent visit to Monte Carlo. Must have seen more than a dozen different Ferraris in a few hour period, and many Rolls convertibles. Rolling stock there seems to be many cheap little vehicles and many at the other extreme.

I have yet to see a 360 in person. Very odd.
Not a lot of Ferraris up here, but I usually see at least a few a year. Don't think I saw one, this year! Well....except my father's.
He has a 1978 308GTS. Nice car.

I do have one cool story... I'd say about 10 years ago, I was riding with him in the car in North Salem, NH. We hit the intersection of Rt. 28 and Rt. 101. To our left, also stopped, was a red Testarossa. Dad and the other guy waved as the 'rossa drove by, and I could count the number of gaping mouths on both hands!

A "white" Testarossa? Isn't that an oxymoron? a white red head? I dont get it. They should have only made that car in red.

I was never a Testarossa fan, but at any rate I disagree... Ferrari looks good in lots of colors, when you actually see them!

My 'neighbourhood' abounds with nice rides.

They are literally everywhere you look.

Close enough to get pics like this Modena interior even ...

I just did a photo shoot with two Ferrari 360 Modena's. One was modded by RM Racing. That car is absolutely incredible.

If you want to see more of my 360 pics, go to: http://www.rmferrari.com
