Hey Les, I don't doubt your claim in the least. It was just an opportunity to link this video I came across over the weekend;
It's winter testing of the Gallardo in northern Sweden.

I lived in Baton Rouge from 89-99. There was a 80's white
DP935 around the Bluebonnet and Highland area, I also used to see
a red Tessarossa in the same neighborhood. I remember the
DP935 had zoom zoom plates. There was also a red Lambo
Countach, I think, owned by the guy who owned a Greek
resturant near Perkins and Essen close to OLOL hospital.

I may live in a town of 100,000 in the middle of nowhere, but there are some nice cars around here.

There is a yellow Miura in town, and a purple Diablo.

Someone has a four-seater Ferrari from the 80's.

There are more Corvettes than you can count, but the second-largest Corvette show in the country is held here.

I've seen many 944s, a few '65-'89 911s, about a dozen 996's (strangely, most are Carrera 4s), three 968s, dozens of Boxsters, one 928, and a 996 GT3.

Also have seen a SL 65 AMG...

I see all sorts of Exotica in CT, but it is random and spread out. There is a lot of wealth here in Central CT/Farmington Valley, so during the summer your chance of seeing a very nice/expensive car in, say, Avon or Simsbury or W. Hartford, is pretty good.

Oh the fun of it all. I live in a county of 18,000 right in the middle of Indiana.and have the only Porsche. It's kind of fun because all the kids think its some really big exotic. It is a widebody/slantnose, so anywhere you go you wont see many like it at all. Many folks still take a second look at my "forn" car.

There is a neat old Espada near my office. It sounds fantastic! I also see a Countach fairly often but mostly the newer models, and of course lots of Ferraris etc.

Skittles, taste the rainbow



my friend's cousin who moved into my folks' neighborhood late last year

The yellow G and purple Diablo are his, orange G and green Murci are neighbors. Not pictured are his platinum Murci and recently acquired twin-supercharged Diablo roadster.
