Maserati GranTurismo spotted downtown
Posted on April 18th, 2008 by Chris.

It squatted on the pavement like a tiger. This Maserati GranTurismo, which we spotted last night parked in front of a restaurant in downtown Sarasota, was quite a car. I hadn’t seen one up close before, but as with all other high-end sports cars I see around town, I had to snap some photos.
Maserati says this about the $114,650 gem:
From first glance, the Maserati GranTurismo range is very sporting and muscular,, with excellent handling that can be enjoyed every day. And, after a closer look, it will become clear that a great deal of attention has been paid to comfort, the materials, the details and the creation of a spacious interior for four people.
Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 in the wild

Spotted in Sarasota, FL, parked in front of a wings joint. It drew a crowd as people filtered in and out of the restaurant. A father says to his soccer team as they rush towards it in curiosity and awe, “Don’t touch it.” Good advice.
Honey, what’s for dinner?

As I wondered earlier what to have for dinner, I’m glad I didn’t ask THIS lady, who was hanging around in our carport after hours.
Carrera GT Seen in the Wild

I’m a regular guy, and as such, get worked up about seeing new exotic cars, notably supercars, on the streets. Yesterday I laid eyes (and ears) on a smokey gray Porsche Carrera GT. The one I saw in town still had a temporary tag on it and couldn’t decide on making a left on Washington or going straight. It went straight.
