I know the thread is old and probably abandoned, but I had to tell someone that would appreciate this.

I saw a Testarossa today! I know, I know, soooooo what? But I live in a miserable little wanna-be city in West Texas. There are only two Ferrari's in the whole damn town. A F355 and my 308 GTSi.

It was a beautiful red and tan Testarossa, cruising down the street like it belonged here.

Too cool

steve

I saw a black Testarossa yesterday. It was in the carpool lane so I couldn't follow it.

I am an especially happy resident of Lubbock. Or as we locals pronounce it "Luhhbuck".

By the way, nice truck. Is it Air Ride Technology stuff? I had a 96 Chevy extracab with front and rear bags. I used the ART four link in the rear. I had to upgrade to the four way control because the damn thing leaned to the left. I never figured out why. Everything was installed even and square, it just leaned to the left about an inch. The four link really rode nice. I sold it about two years ago to buy the 308. Best decision I ever made.

LOL, not my trucks, just like them a lot. I drive a 99 Silverado with a 3/4 drop and 20s, but bout to have a redo to a 4/6. No bag yet, b/c I want to do it on a brand new truck and not have it as an everyday driver.
Never been to Lubbock, just know my cousin goes to Texas Tech. But anyways, back to Ferraris.

Re: Saw A Testa Rossa today!

has a Testarossa at a customers a while ago. Everyone just SLOOOWED down as they passed it!!! Took the front clip off but personally I couldn't see why as there didn't appear to be any damage. Oh well, got to see the car because of it!!
I've always assumed that there are more exotics in the states then up here (Canada) yet I once witnessed a guy in a parking lot looking at a Countach. When I went by THREE HOURS later he was STILL there!!! Told me that in Boston he never saw anything like it, that the 928 (This WAS like 15 years ago!! LOL!) parked next to it would have been enough but the Lambo.....
I never realized that there were places where Ferrraris and other exotics were rarely seen as in toronto it's a regular occurance.
I remember one morning watching a BB512 go up our local highway, the sound........

in order to be in the carpool lane there has to be 2 or more passengers in the car. then u are qualified to use the carpool lane.I live out here around LA and i have only seen 3 TestaRossa on the Freeway. and one was in the car pool lane. I have also been very lucky to see a Ferrari Enzo coming out of the Bel Air Estates right next to Ucla. I tried to chase it down the street but it was gone when i came to a halt. every time im out i always see an exotic car.

I think the Testarossa looks better than the Enzo. I find the Enzo to be ugly.
