Ferrari F430 spotted
 
A rare sight in Minneapolis. People with gobs of money usually don't go beyond an Audi A8. This car was a red Spyder. It was behind me in heavy local traffic for about a mile. The dude was a well mannered driver, though I could hear that wicked motor very easily. Can only imagine the sound at WOT. Talk about drawing attention. Sheesh.

I love the non-ownership Ferrari program I'm on. I get to drive an f430 one or twice a month and don't have to pay for gas!:D

The sound is truly awesome I am still partial to the sound of a Tubied 360....with my registration in the glove box.

S600 vs F430...hmm that would be an interesting race. The F430 is lighter so it would probably win.

The 355 is still one of my favorites. Something about 355's, they just look right to me.

:cool::cool:Muwahahahaha.... Time to Renntech that S600, and make em wonder what hit them.... :cool::cool:

A RENNtech would have taken him out. Not so stock, but I would have kept up easily. He wasn't playing slot car racer. Rarely do people with $100K+ cars drive like total douche bags-- at least in these parts.

I stopped by the Maserati dealership today. They now have 2 Ferrari mechanics. One is an Italian gentleman who was a mechanic for Michael Schumacher's F1 team.

Is it a Maser dealer of Ferrari/Maserati?

If I recall correctly Minneapolis does have a good number of Ferrari's for a northern snow state. I remember seeing them on a regular basis when I lived at Pequot Lakes for a summer.

Maser, but they service Ferraris and often have a few FS. Today they had two fly yellow cars, a 360 Spyder and a 355.

So, Who's Michael Schumacher...?
Actually, don't even bother, I really don't care, I'm just playing with you guys. I can look him up, if I cared that much, but I don't...
