Well, went down to south cAROLINA yesterday for my track time with the ferrari and of course it was raining. It was a great experience and I highly recommend it to everyone. I assumed....$240K car....wet track.... copilot to ride along....and I expected a lot of restrictions. Not so. very nice and helpful and told me up front " you have a 550 HP rear wheel drive car and a wet track, have fun, but know that those turns are going to be a ********************. " and they were. Tremendous power in the straight of course, but it broke loose so easily in the turns that I could easily done a better time in my C4 and maybe the 08 boxster S. A dry track would have been awesome.
I will have to say that an hour in a ferrari will make you appreciate what we drive every day very much. It made me realize what a bargain the boxster really is for it's price and performance. We are in the sweet spot.
One more thing marked off my bucket list. Do you suppose you immediately die when your bucket list is empty? Maybe I should add something else soon.
Great valentines present...
