The fourth generation Vipers, by the way, are significantly faster and more powerful in all respects. Can't wait to see one.

Finally

According to Wikipedia, as of September 10th, 2008, only 27 Roadsters have been delivered to their owners. The waiting list is over 1,000. I've seen a half-dozen, maybe seven, and that excludes the Tesla showroom just a mile away in Menlo Park. (There's only two showrooms in the world, by the way.)

Ferrari Mondial t

Perhaps not the most awe-inspiring Ferrari ever made, the "t" was however, the best Mondial ever made. There's one that's been cruising around town lately. They're not terrible expensive anymore. Mid-$30's seem to be the asking price for previous generation Mondials on ebaymotors. Tempting...
Ferrari 550 Maranello
Two Ferraris in one day is always a good day and it happens more often than you'd think. See a post or two below for a good pic of a 550. It too was sitting in the parking lot of Il Forniao.

Notable Car of the Day

I saw an exact copy of the one pictured above on my way to work this morning. It was sitting outside of that hotel/restaurant where I've seen so many other exotic cars. I don't know what it is these guys do in there over breakfast, but I bet it involves the Internet and lots and lots of money. And they're clearly very good at it.

Back in Palo Alto proper, These two Maseratis were parked nose to nose. One new, one old.
Maserati Gransport Spyder
I see it just about every day. Black over dark tan leather, clean and shiny. Class act roadster.
Maserati Gran Turismo
I don't know if I'll ever call a car 'sexy', but this one's pretty hot. It's body is sculpted by Pininfarina, the same design house that creates Ferrari's sleek and swoopy lines and if you ask me, it's the best looking car out there right now.
Audi R8Absolutely stunning in person. Low profile, state-of-the-art design, two tone paint, plexiglass engine cover. I've seen quite a few around town and it's always a head turner. Very well done. Very well done indeed.
