I have pics of a 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2.  Very rare car.  I just happened to see it parked this summer..... thought it was a cutlass or monte carlo at first.  LOL

I live in the sticks too...the other day I was mowing my yard and I always keep an eye on the road to see who is driving by.  Its not uncommon to see a new Corvette, new Camaro, Mustangs, Muscle cars, etc.  But that particular day some type of bright red new Ferrari drove by.  And even though I was on my mower with the engine/deck running I could hear the  thing.  That real high-pitched raspy small displacement v12 sound that all the rich boys like.  V8's sound better to me...

If it was a mid-engined car, or the new California Spider, it was a V-8. The sound has more to do with the flat crank than small displacement.

More than likely it was a 360 or a 430

I don't know what it was.  It was red and it was a Ferrari. Actually, I kinda take pride in the fact that I know basically nothing about rich boy exotics.  Ferrari:fart:

Not really exotic, but not something you see parked together every day - 36 Ford Coupe (with Ford interior and Ford running gear), 03 100th Anniversary Harley F150 and 08 Saleen (1 of only 4 supercharged automatic convertibles built in 08).

I dunno... they are very interesting vehicles. And their owners are usually pretty cool. I went to a Ferrari show a few months ago, and even though it rained all morning, the number of guys that drove their $80K-$200K Ferraris for hours in the rain to attend the show was very impressive. We get upset about driving our 1 of 30,000 built cars in the rain, yet they were driving their 1 of 50 or 100 built with no hesitation.
