Yep.
American Racing is the brand I most remember of those.

I don't remember any one manufacturer, but we always called them "slotted" wheels. I had them in my '63.

Not quite, but to be honest... it's a rare day that I don't see one. Ferraris are daily also. There are probably more Porsches around here than there are Germans in Stuttgart.Thanks!
You probably have 2 or 3 Lambo's per mile in SoCal!
They are a bit rare around here unless you hang out in the rich part of town.
I saw this on the road today. Sunny and mid-sixties temperature. Awesome cruising weather here. It's mid November!!

This pulled in to the grocery store parking lot just ahead of me about a half hour ago...
1999 Ferrari F355 F1 Spyder.
This car was immaculate. I mean absolute perfection. Not a scratch or spec of dirt to be found. The paint was stunning, the leather was gorgeous. Simply the nicest example of its type you are ever likely to find.
I spent about ten minutes talking to the owner. Super cool guy about 60. Dude was at least 6'7" tall, so needless to say, he had the top down.
Original owner, 29,000 miles. He said that it had been reliable except for the engine computer that failed and cost $20K to replace :(
Damn...

It was at the very end of a long lot, last two spaces, and the lot itself was not busy at all. I'll give him a pass.
If he had used two spaces at the front, or a handicap space, or if the lot was busy, it would be super douchie. I have no problem with it in this case though. He clearly takes incredible care of that car, and it shows.

A car like that parked on the outer fringe gets a pass from me as well.
I've seen only one and it was in my fucking suburban neighborhood, which really blew me away.

I forgot to mention, last week when I was driving to Lansing/Elderly's, right at the I-94 & I-69 interchange in Marshall, MI I saw an SUV coming off the ramp as I was going on (cloverleaf-type exit/entrance) that had that jigsaw puzzle-looking camouflage the manufacturers use for their new model test vehicles.
The manufacturer logo was covered up, but a little bit later I passed a newer Ford Edge, and it looked essentially the same. Marshall, MI has a test track of some sort, I wonder if that's where it was coming from?
Why do manufacturers use that camouflage, anyways? It's not like you can't tell what it is unless it's a totally new vehicle idn_smilie

Tesla Sedan. Dead silent. Creepy actually.
Nice R8 at Barnes and Noble. I sent a text to my brother saying it was my early Christmas gift from my wife. He wasn't fooled at all.

I failed my On The Road duties yesterday when walking downtown. I see, then hear what I believe to be a mid-60's Ferrari 275 GTS cruising between the buildings. Instead of pulling out my phone for a picture, I stopped with my jaw hanging to absorb the visual and aural experience, followed by the fumes of rich Ferrari exhaust.
