We've got F150s at ours. And 'vettes-- lots and lots of 'vettes.
I know exactly one dude with a Ferrari, and it's no '50s TR. Money tends to hang out with other money, I suppose.

I don't hang with those dudes 😂. They just show up with these crazy cool and rare cars.
Would drive. I don't GAF how I look (as those who know me can plainly see). If I had the $500 million net worth, and I got the $20 million classic F car (or the C Jag or the D Jag or the Birdcage or the Gullwing or the 550 or...)
—I would abso-friggin'-lutely drive them in public. Every day feasible.
How could you not?
Today's C&C was the monthly 'EuroSunday', so fewer 'Vettes and more, well, Euro stuff.
But still, I was amazed to see just how many late model Ferraris, Lambos, and McLarens turned out. This was in the heart of one of our more prosperous burbs where, if you got it, you flaunt it, baby.
The surrounding McMansions have all sprung up in the past 20 years or so. The money, like the houses, is mostly newish. Many have moved here from the Bay area, driven out by cost of living. And the realization that you can sell a house in SF, buy a larger one here, and still have enough left over to buy the car of your neighbor's dreams.
Apparently, it takes more than a 'Vette or an S-Class to impress today.
In the parking lot, lots of talk about how much this or that costs, very little about throttle-induced oversteer.
Marty, gorgeous! Nicer, I think, than the one I found this morning.
It still looks like it's from tomorrow. Imagine what it must have looked like on the same roads with '57 Oldsmobiles, Buicks, and contemporary stuff like this:
