Tom Ford sounds like a great guy to know! ;)

Joe B 01-09-2014 05:55 PM

So forgive my ignorance, but who is Tom Ford, and what kind of car is it (red?) :confused:.

Well, I Googled Tom Ford. Not impressed. What about the car?

amagalla 01-09-2014 06:41 PM

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that looks like an F430. Beautiful car.

4mm, seems you got short changed

I would have insisted on an m8 bolt at the very least...

What's up with Rusnak of Pasadena plates? Used to visit the parts counter occasionally when I had my 964 living in Pasadena.

The 430 is most sweet.

Considering the average deal I sign is around $300k, $4mm is pretty substantial in my world.

Sorry you missed my joke -- $4mm -- 4 milli-meter
M8 -- 8 millimeter.

Glad you got the deal!

He actually admitted that Porsche has the best engineering out of all the super cars.

He could have bought 3 variations of "best engineering" for the price of that beauty.
Sex appeal always wins

Did he let you get within 6 feet of it, maybe even touch it?

Who parked next to the other first? Did he leave a door ding on yours as a parting gift?

Hmmmm....a Ferrari owner actually admitting Porsche has the best enginering of all super cars. Seems strange ,but money makes people say and do strange things. Just be careful is all I'm saying!

For the Scuderia version, worth every penny. One of the most durable Ferraris ever built. A former member of our local Porsche club has one and he's beaten the snot out the car at every track day and autocross he could get to and it's a tank. According to him the clutch has lasted longer than on any previous Porsche he's ever owned. Plus you get a much more exciting (and rare) single clutch sequential shifter and not the dual clutch stuff like on so many paddle/automatics. It's a standout transmission without the weight of DCT.

This may sound crazy, but given what new Porsches sell for now, I think a low-mileage second-hand Scud is a hell of a lot of bang for the buck.

Here's a nice one.

the2013 results of the 24 hours of Daytona speak for themselves; more Ferraris (and higher rankings) that porsches in the top slots. endurance racing is the true test.

I had a client that had a few Ferrari's. He was always quizing me about my Box, usually talked about how balanced they are. He also said Ferrari's are for collecters, Porsche's are for drivers.

I left the Banking Center before he did but I mentioned to him that I was going to take some pics of our cars together and he didn't have an issue with it.

I parked first, he parked next to me to show me up lol, no door dings lol

You think this is why JD was shopping at Ferrari not long ago? Johnny is a collector right?

BYprodriver 01-10-2014 09:13 AM

I have another client that always has a couple Ferrari's never keeping them more than 2 years & then trading for the latest model. He currently has a FF which he calls "the Gremlin" He usually has a MBZ & recently traded his Maybach. I brought up how ridiculously outrageous the MBZ SL Black Series looks with the huge rear wheel well flares. He waited for me to finish & informed me the SL BS was his daily driver. :o

Just remembered the time I was at Willow Springs Racetrack & a F430 got sideways in the big curve before the front straight. Rear tires slid off the track & he did the entire curve with rear tires in the dirt & front tireson the track. Slid about 100 feet kicking up a 30 ft high wall of dirt. Rearend finally came all the way around & he spun into the infield right at the corner workers platform. Finally stopped 20 ft from the platform. :eek::barf:
