During my travels today I saw a yellow Ferrari on i-91 south in Cromwell.

I also saw a white Lambo on RT 30 in Vernon. (Kmart plaza) The Lambo had a vanity plate I think it said "Oh Yea" I wasn't close enough to be sure. That Lambo has a sweet sweet exhaust sound. All cars should sound like that.

Don't see too many exotics around Hartford.

When I saw the title of this thread I actually rolled my eyes, then I remember that all of CT is not like the extreme southwestern panhandle where these cars are quite common. In fact, they are so common that to me they blend in not just with the Audis, Mercedes, and BMWs; but also with all the Toyotas, Hondas, and Kias. lol

I also thought you were going to put a video like this guy:

I live in Upper Fairfield County and we don't see that many exotic cars, either. Best I've witnessed is Porche, Masarati, and an Aston Martin. Think that's it. The Big 4 Luxury brands are never ending, however. I realized that there aren't any dealership around here that offer cars such as those spotted in Greenwich. Porche is the best we get.

A few years ago I spotted a Bugatti for sale at the Aston Martin dealership in Greenwich. I'm not big on worrying about what people spend their money on, I think people should be allowed to enjoy their money as they see fit. Having said that, I did went to the dealership on a Sunday just to confirm with my eyes if the sticker price was what everyone says this type of car sells for. Yep, slightly more than $1 million. Like I said, I could care less on what people spend their money on, but to spend seven digits on any vehicle is simply crazy.

Saw a 458 Ferrari, 2 Maseratis and an Aston Martin today. My Porsche 993 , on the other hand, did not make it out of the garage.

I've seen an occasional Ferrari or Lamborghini around Connecticut - not often, but maybe once or twice a year over the years.

When I went through Monte Carlo a few years ago, those cars grew on trees around there. You'd see 4-5 of them in a row cruising down the road, and a bunch of them all lined up parked in front of the famous casino there.

Was one of the Masers a dark convertible traveling north on the Parkway ~4:30? I only ask because i had somewhere to be, and, whomever it was, they were moving at a leisurely pace. I only glimpsed it from my right side mirror.

Ridgefield and Redding are rich, but no where near as rich as Darien, or New Canaan. Then Brookfield, Newtown, Sherman, New Fairfield, and Monroe are slightly to moderately less rich than Redding/Ridgefield. Although, parts of those towns can be comparatively rich, notably on Candlewood Lake. Danbury is the "hard-hitting" area in Northern FFC, and finally, Bethel is much nicer than Danbury but relatively inexpensive.
