Some Ferrari model, couldn't recognize it. Racing down the middle of my tight village street with pedestrians everywhere. I don't see all that many exotics but it seems they are frequently driven by jerks. This fool must have thought he was Enzo himself.

Last Saturday, while driving in Ottawa, I followed a Ford Model A (1927-31) eastbound on a freeway (417/Queensway for the cognescenti) and north on Kent Street before I had to break off. It had Quebec plates and I suspect was heading across the river to Gatineau. It was in perfect shape. More about this car at: Wiki link to Model A

In only five years of membership, you've already got 4890 points and saw a limited edition car? Great.

Not sure why you needed to tell up about where you saw it, on Cowpath Rd., in Lansdale, PA, that is. It's not like anyone of us are going to drive to Landsdale to see it. In fat, for all I know, it's no longer on Cowpath Rd, and I'd be wasting my time driving there.

I have to say tqht, because of the price, the Ferrqri 458 it's a rare site. But not as rare as seeing gas prices from some Gas Buddy members.
