My Ride: .
Model Year: .
So I was driving to work this morning ... just cruising along
@ 65mph and see a Ferrari 360 Modena (in metallic grigio
alloy color) off the service road. Eventually it makes its way
into the freeway, and I see it coming up from behind. This
thing's just a piece of art on the freeway.
I've seen countless pics of this car, but to actually see it roll
on the freeway for several miles is just amazing.
Of
course, being the safe driver that I am, I didn't get a chance
to take a picture.
Here's one I found online, same color:

I was driving to a dentist appointment yesterday and found some random exotic car dealer and they had one of these out front. Looked gorgeous.
