Well apparently Saturdays are his driving day for his 360 Modena and it looks exactly like this....

He definitely helps the property value, but I find someone owning 2 Ferraris excessive.... I'm just jealous I guess.
Just in case you don't know what the F50 looks like here is a photo...

There is a heart surgeon in the Chicago subs, who will remain nameless, who has 40 ferrari's (more)
including Prost's 1991 F-1 car, (3) F40's (One race car, one driver, one in in-house museum), an F50, and just about every high end classic, including a Daytona and a 275 GTB.
He also has a Trans Am series Camaro race car (old Gentilozi race car), a support truck (semi) painted in ferrari colors and a vanhool ex-cart driver bus panted in ferrari colors.
Quite a hobby.

New F50 cars were leased to prior multiple-Ferrari owners. But used ones are available now.
If you look in the ads in AutoWeek, you'll periodically see them listed at some of the larger exotic dealers. Prices I've seen have ranged from $575K to $775K.
When new, a person who leased an F50 would have spent somewhere in the $500K-$600K+ neighborhood after the lease buyout.
Ferrari required the purchaser to "lease" the F50, so that Ferrari could keep the buyers from selling their cars quickly, for a large profit. Plus, Ferrari would only allow certain people to get the F50. An interesting way to control the speculation market, which was out of control (Ferrari's view) when the F40 came out. F40 sticker prices were only a couple hundred thousand, but many F40 cars were turned over by their owners for over $1M.
