I live in LA, so "rare" sports cars are pretty abundant.

Rarest I've seen?

A nice yellow Enzo on Coldwater and Ventura. I screamed. The other non-car enthusiasts in my car thought I was having a heart attack.

About 15 Murcielagos in the past year (tried to get a black one on 22s to race me in my stock G35 so I could hear it let loose in person. Succeeded and was killed thoroughly, but i think I busted in my pants when i heard that V12 scream with my windows open.).

There are a couple Maseratis here and there. Seems like i see Ferraris at least every 2 weeks or so. Porsches and BMWs are a dime a dozen, as are those AMGs, but they're still all amazing cars, so it's quite fun to drive through the Hills of Beverly just to watch them go by.

However, it's the WORST when you see somebody driving a car fast enough to break the highway speed limit in 4 seconds or less traveling 5 mph under the speed limit. While I am an advocate of safe driving (most of the time), I can't help but be frustrated at putting a muzzle on beasts like that.
