There is a couple that own one in our local PCA it is silver with black interior.
They are instructors at the WGI Zone 1 event.
It was parked next to my car for two days a couple years ago. So I looked at all day long.
That car sounds and looks amazing.
Carbon fiber everywhere.
The interior is really well made as well.

That ridiculous. Besides, I'm pretty sure that you aren't allowed to be impolite.

That was a storage place in MN where I bought the NSX. Many nice cars kept there, multiple floors. There was a blue 964 that sat for a long time, tried to put in an offer, owner just ignored it.

Ferrari is a great look but my boys own a 488 and an aventador and is constantly at the detailer from ogling people scratching up the cars I drive my rides and park them everywhere and anytime no worries at all
ps the fastest car I was ever in was a modified Tesla fing lighting bolt from heaven

Years ago
myself and the marketing manager took ten customers to Watkins Glenn. We spent three days driving super cars. That v10 on the r8 was awesome, I loved the stick shift. It wasn’t the fastest but in my opinion was one of the easiest cars to drive at the limit. One of our local guys here has a 15 Carrera gts, also has a blue r8 v10, has taken it to cars and coffee a few times, bunch of carbon fiber on this car. The v10s have gone up in value.

I agree, and mine has full SB interior. Some at least have a little black mixed in to break it up.

Spotted this red Targa sitting in front of a local detailer on Wednesday.
Obviously freshly detailed, it looked really nice.
Would have stopped to take a look if I knew it was for sale.

Love me a Targa. You think if it was at a professional detail shop they'd at least do a basic clean up of the engine. Looks like a pretty basic spec but relatively low miles and 1 ower so will probably do well based on that alone. Exhaust tips seem to be sagging a bit so probably due for some fresh engine mounts.
