Thanks for reminding me what company Bill Gates works at.

I remember the story about his 959.

5000 miles per year is plenty for these types of cars.

That's the one I saw in Boston!! I saw it when I lived there back in 2006, just saw it out the window. I really wish I had gone inside to look at it closer.

My house was walking distance from there, I can see the buildings on Commonwealth Ave.

These are some older pictures from visit to Canepa Design back in 2007. They had 8 different 959's there. Ill try to get pictures up from the previous year I went when they had 13! One belonging to none other then Jerry Seinfeld.

To see all the pictures check them out here:

Oh my god that is AWESOME!!! That's probably not far from all of the 959's in the US. I wasn't carried away with the wheels on the first one, but seeing 8 959's at once, totally insane.

My guess there is about 30 in North America.

I love how I live in South Florida and have seen everything from Koenigsegg's to Enzos to Bugattis, etc but don't recall ever seeing a 959! One of my dream cars.

Yeah that's what I hear about Florida and LA, you only see the modern supercars. Not that that's a bad thing, but it makes it less exiting when you see them all the time. It's so exiting seeing more obscure/rare cars, like a Vector, Cizeta, Countach, ect.

The only Cizeta I've ever seen was in LA!

Yeah it's true, California is probably the best place in the country for supercars. Most of the Vectors are out there, plus there's a ton of modern one's. I've spent a week in Miami, and EVERY supercar I saw was brand new. It's such a trendy place, everyone wants what's "in."
