Default Italian Car Show

One of my other hobbies is exotic car spotting...fortunately in Atlanta there are lots of people with enough money to warrant such a hobby. Every single week there is some kind of car show, and today I found two: the annual Italian Car Day and another one sponsored by a local Ferrari car nut at his place of business. Lots of Ferraris, Lambos, Alfas, my friends in the Atlanta Ducati club, even a Fiat 500 (supposedly the only one in the US)! I thought I'd share some of my favorites with anybody who cares.

SpiritRR, the yellow Ferrari is the same Scuderia I posted up a few weeks ago for you. I believe it is over 20k miles already. It was accompanied by an 04 Challenge Stradale (arguably even cooler than the Scuderia).

Hope you like!

TheDino is beautiful. It may have a little motor in it, but it looks like a sports car should.

I dont care about any issues these cars may have with them ..I just love the look!! :-) ..I would forgive it anything, they have that timeless classic shape, if I won the lottery, yes ..that might be "the one"

I agree about the Dino, and the 575 still looks good.

20k miles! omg...must be a daily driver...gadzooks. Nice to see someone actually use their investment.

There was a guy around here that drove his Enzo daily to the jewelry store he owns (along with a 550 Barchetta). In fact his license plate was MMEnzo, because he wanted it to be the Most Miles Enzo ever...right up until he wadded it during the Silver State Run, or whatever it's called. List on an Enzo was around $700k...
