Found this California T parked outside a bank at the intersection of Catawba and Jetton a couple weeks ago. Hadn't seen a Cali T in a while, so it was cool to get one on camera. Also a Mercedes-Maybach just visible in one of the next lots.

@NCspotter Nice capture Nick! It's funny that the replacement for this car was shown to the public it seems like over a year ago and I have yet to spot one. I wonder what direction Ferrari will go when the Portofino is ready for retirement? I am really hoping that direction will be with a mid engine 2 seat Dino . I honestly believe they need something really big, and all new to gain credibility back instead of always playing it safe. Anyways brother great work behind the camera like always. Talk with you soon.

@Horse-Power I'm sure you'll see one soon, you always catch the newest exotics before the rest of us! I honestly think Ferrari is too worried about its bottom line to introduce something very daring unless its status starts to get surpassed by Lamborghini and McLaren. Anyway brother thanks for your comment, and I'll talk with you later.
@thomcarspotter thanks man! Always appreciate your comments buddy!

@NCspotter Hi Nick. I know Ferrari has excellent sales numbers for all of the California models but IMHO they are not exciting me anymore when it comes to being my favorite brand. I really feel that the new era is going to Lamborghini, and McLaren. I was the biggest Ferrari F1 fan and I can honestly say that I could care less for this new formula. Not new but when the V8's were replaced years ago with smaller turbo charged power plants I could not accept those quiet cars The intimidating scream of a high revving V12. V10 and V8 is what makes the hair on ones arm stand straight up. We have seen the production cars last forever no matter how many updated style and mechanical enhancements. All I am saying is make something entirely brand new that looks sexy and sounds out of this world. Anyways brother I always enjoy talking shop with you. Have a great weekend. Rain is in our forecast until next Thursday, lol. So no spotting for me. I cannot wait to see your next post.

@Horse-Power I agree, in fact a lot of what I've read makes me think the California line would have been better served being sold under the Maserati nameplate. As long as Lamborghini continues to go with naturally aspirated engines, I think they will take over first place, with Ferrari and McLaren battling for second. Right now I think Lamborghini has a clear edge in terms of soul, even if its cars aren't the absolute fastest or technically proficient in their respective classes. Sorry to hear about the dreary weather in your area. It's not much better here, as it's rained off and on for the past several days and has otherwise been almost unbearably humid, which of course is a great time for all of our cars to break haha. Despite the weather I did catch sight (barely) of a first-gen Audi R8 yesterday, but there was no way I could get any pics. Thanks for your comments as always buddy, it's always really cool talking with you. I will try to post something tonight.

@NCspotter Hi Nick. Yet another weekend without spotting. I am really looking forward to my trip next month. So how is life treating you, brother? I really hope that your days become less hectic because I would really love to see you post up that 150th post! I am just a few away from 950 myself. Posting up a 1,000 cars is just insane if you think about how many exotics are running around in just two States that I spot in. Well buddy take care of yourself and I will talk with you really soon.

@Horse-Power I guess we're all bound to have a few rainy weekends here and there. As far as I'm concerned, I'll happily trade a few rainy weekends for a ton of dry ones, so it would seem that the weather is bound to improve soon. I really should have posted something yesterday, so I'll definitely try to find something to post today. I wonder if I'll ever get to 1,000 posts on here. I know I would if I took pics of all the common exotics, but they're all just so common that it's not terribly fun to do so. I can't wait to see what you have ready to post for #1,000! Well anyway, looks like you've posted a couple McLarens so I'll go check those out. Thanks for your comments and I'll talk with you later.
