Today I spotted what I could have sworn was an old Ferrari or Maserati but as I drove closer to it and both of us ended up stopped at a traffic light I realized that not only was the car not a Ferrari, or a Maserati, but I had no clue whatsoever what make it was ! Stunning vehicle though, the driver had his window open so I lowered my window, got his attention and asked him what the car is. Had to ask him twice because I did not understand what he said at first ; ISO GRIFO .. Well, that's a new one to me, never heard of that maker, much less the model so had to pull it up on the net .

So one more car to add to the rare vehicles list of those I've seen actually being driven on the roads here...as opposed to seeing unusual cars in showrooms or at concours, or at coffee and cars GTGs. Other than the Mangusta mentioned in the original post, alongside the TVR Cerbera , and then a McLaren F1 ( yes I know it's not federalized and thus not US legal, but the dude was driving it on hwy 101 , nonetheless ) , a Jaguar XJ 220, and last, some car which looked like a UFO and to this day I can't figure out what that thing might have been .
P.S. After I complimented his car, the guy said : " I like your Porsche also, very nice " . Not sure if he was just being courteous but given what he was driving, and thus clearly a man of distinction and classy car taste I'd like to think he really meant what he said , lol.
