Ok, I was back at RBM Mercedes to look at an SUV again and saw a burgundy colored QP Exec. The dealer said it's been parked there for the past few days. That's the second one I've seen in the exact same spot.

A co-worker of mine today says he saw (what he thought) was my car at the Outlet Mall in Dalton - a grigio granito GT convertible with beige interior. HOWEVER, when the driver got out and proceeded to wipe the side of his GT with a paper napkin, my co-worker confirmed it wasn't me. Oddly, I was up at the Outlet Mall in Dalton last Saturday too. I'm shocked that there's a doppelgänger GranCabrio cursing around Atlanta and would love to see it...clearcoat swirls and all.

There are a ton of Maseratis around Atl. I know because I've worked on so many. I see one of you guys every now and then on East-West connector. Did anyone make it out to AMP for Rides to Remember?

I was there with my GranCabrio. There was also an owner of a new dk red 2012 GranCabrio S. There was a couple who brought a red Biturbo and a yellow GS Spyder, there were also a couple of non-cab GranTourismos. Great event.

I was out there with my family and 4 year son who has Leukemia. I want to give a huge thanks to everyone here who attended. The event raised money for some great organizations. The yellow Spyder was my sons favorite, who had to get his picture made in front of it as soon as we got to FOA. Thanks again!!!

Hi All, just lurking, but I've seen a couple in my subdivision in the Johns Creek area. I'm currently in the market for a used Quattroporte so I may be joining the ranks soon. Cheers!

Welcome Gipper. I think a lot of us just lurk from time to time. I'm actually thrilled that Maseratis are seemingly rare. I've only seen a few GT convertibles. I see Quattroportes more often.

Awesome spotting tonight...one of my neighbors drives a GranTourismo - spotted on Dalrymple in Sandy Springs. If said GT owner happens to be on this site and reads this, I was the dork in the black Mercedes GL450 waving as you passed.

Just turned left (while driving my black GL450) into my neighborhood this morning in front of an approaching QP along Riverside/Dalrymple. It had a sort of warm pewter color...really pretty.

That same silver QP followed me down Riverside tonight. Then, at QuickTrip on Roswell Rd., I parked behind a black GranTourismo. I saw the owner come out as I was walking in...I restrained myself from being obnoxious.

I dropped mine off at the car wash in my office building last week only to see another QP being washed at the time. Need to look for a new brand. These things are just too common these days.. ;-)

Default Sunday Braves game

Saw a Nero QP on 75/85 at Grady curve headed north coming out of the Braves game yesterday (Sunday) afternoon. Nice lookin car! Unlike you, we were in the wife's SUV - i just cannot bring myself to drive my QP into those parking lots where lord only knows what happens. Pulling in in front of us when we parked was a gorgeous new black ferrari convertible and while the car was stunning, I just had this vision of some enthusiastic Braves 7 year old (like my own son) opening his car door quickly to get to the game, and DING!


08 QP

As far as I can tell, there are only 5 Maseratis in GA . So far, I've seen 2 QPs, a GT, a GranSport, and my grigio granito GTC. My daughter and her friend think they saw a red GTC the other day. So maybe there are 6.

I know there are more around town, and it's a blast when we discover that a car we spotted is also a member of this site. The FerrariChat dot com site has a nice spotters thread with enthusiasts who connect with owners...it's a friendly exchange. If you see a Maserati, make a note here of it.


So...
If you are the light grey GranSport owner I waved to at the Shell station on Roswell Rd. & Dalrymple last week, chime in! Your exhaust sounded amazing.
I think your estimate is a bit low. I've had 4 Maseratis in the shop for service this week and last week alone, including Scott's (absolutely spotless) QP, and I see a GT on Cobb Pkwy a few times a week.
