Default Vehicle Sightings Today

Went for a weeklong Harley road trip and stopped in Greenwich Ct for some lunch. Now I expected to see some nice vehicles being that it is a very affluent town. I will list in no particular order, and all these cars were driving not at the dealership:

Ferrari 458 Spyder
McLaren MP4-12C
Mercedes Maybach S600
Couple other Ferrari's I couldn't identify quickly
Bentley's S550's, and all others were a dime a dozen, but then

A custom painted red and white Porsche 918. I couldn't believe it as it went by. I felt like ending the trip there and just going to buy a lawn chair and watch the car show.

By far the craziest car sighting day I've ever had.

I suspect that the McClaren and Ferrari owners might take their cars to the nearby track at Lime Rock (CT) and rent some track time.

Maybe that 918 was a Weissach package

That is pretty much what I remember seeing. It was insane. First one I've ever seen fairly close.
