On a nice day you can drive to DC and see people out cruising in their cars: Ferraris, SL 55s, M5s, 911 Turbos, Maseratis, etc. I went to a club downtown last year and two friends were hanging out in the parking lot with their twin NSX's, one red and one yellow. Saw another NSX a couple weeks ago near Tyson's Corner, for those familiar with NoVA. My last Ferrari was about a month ago, a 575M. A friend of mine whose dad is a cardiologist just last summer sold his Testarossa so he could buy an SL55 AMG. The friend himself had a Camaro SS 30th Anniversary Edition and a Trans Am 30th Anniversary Edition. A Lotus Esprit lives down the street from my house. There was a Viper RT/10 on campus last week.
You can see pretty much any kind of sports car around here, but you don't see the rare luxury cars like Rolls or Bentley. But sports cars, yes. The abundance is thanks to the Ferrari/Maserati dealership and the Porsche dealership at Tyson's, which got one of the first new 911 Turbos.
Hal, your TL was everywhere here as soon as it hit the U.S. How common are they where you are?
