Some years ago Greg Whitten had his brand new La Ferrari at the Issaquah Triple X Drive In where the Fiat Club was hosting its All Italian Car Show. He had the doors open and was letting people sit in the car to have a better look. Greg is not exactly an over the top extrovert but more of a low-key personality. So he was simply standing nearby with most of the car's admirers not even realizing he was the owner. I got looking at his very new Ferrari and noticed the front tires had notable wear and the rears were half gone! "Greg, what's up with your tires?" Seems he had it out at Pacific Raceway and put a good 70 laps on it one day. Love these owners who put their cars through their paces.

I must ask this question as a point of reference only, not as a criticism or oneupmanship. Is the correct description of this particular Ferrari not 250 GTO LM? LM being for LeMans? The earlier 250 GTO was most similar to the 250 GT SWB and is the more familiar GTO variant. I failed to purchase a 250 GT SWB in 1969 for $4800...
