OT: Look what I saw getting detailed. OMG

[MPDano]

A 2010 Ferrari F430. I never even seen one in the magazines and this was just sitting there getting ready to get detailed. It doesn't even have license plates yet.

This is the Car Wash/UHAUL I was renting a Car Transporter at this morning. I love my 928 but DAMN!!

I'd drop my 928 so fast for that.... My impression was that those things were all over out there I'm surprised to hear you haven't seen one, I haven't seen one in person either, but I'm in NH where it would need snow tires for half the year. BTW nice pics

[MrGST]

Nice! Ceramic brakes too, very cool :-)

I doubt anyone affording that car experiences much misery....well, I guess he could be married, but still. He probably has a 458 on order too.

he will be enjoying his car while we ponder about what screws hold in our wooden fuse panel lids.....haha

Leo, If it the same car, the owner has a Salen, GT40, Prowler, Acura NSX, and a couple of others I don't remember. He was the CEO of a company in my office block in Del Mar.

I see one almost every weekend here, just like that in red, older man driving it. Must have a lake home near by. In fact he drives by my house quite often. Just saw it again on Sunday morning. Quite radical looking with high pitched sounding motor. I love the design!

One more comment.....not bad for an AUTOMATIC!!!!!!!

Don't need a car that I can't haul a 4x8 sheet of plywood home in... Who am I kidding, I'd take it in a heartbeat. Thanks Dano, need a napkin for the drool now.

Ya, funny. People who own these have other people haul their plywood. I saw one 2006 F430 preowned listed for $147,000.

Funny how I can't even afford the $7,000 part of that $147,000. Well, not that funny

There are a lot of Ferrari's and Lambo's around here, a surprising number for an area of the world known for pickup trucks. It is unusual not to see a couple of Ferrari's commuting about every week. There are a couple of vintage Ferrari's I see on the street from time to time also...think 1955-1965 vintages...I also came across a fellow who owns 10 vintage Ferrari race cars as well as one vintage Maserati. Included in those cars are Phil Hill’s 1953 world championship car and his 1957 world championship car….pretty darned impressive….he vintage races them still, and they are in near perfect shape….

Cars and Coffee Sat morning meeting this month, there were perhaps 20-25 Ferrari’s and 15-20 Lambos, no Bugatti Veyron this week, there are a couple locally…see a few cars of interest at and see a local buffoon bend up his Holden GTO at Cars n Coffee Douche eats it - Houston - April 2nd - Boosted Imports.com

In summer here we have many exotic cars about the area as we are close to Chicago. Many Porsche's, BMW's, Rolls, Ferrari's, occasional Lambro and two 928's one mine and the other from the local import shop owner.
