Nope, just in town visiting. When I left the restaurant there was a lonely Viper parked a block down from where the LaFerrari was. Felt sorry for the Viper owner.

I have never seen one driving around but I did get a really close up view of a stationary Veyron at Barrett Jackson in Orange County one year. It was a lot smaller than I expected. TWSS!

That's funny.. The Viper would still be a fun car to drive.

Man that LaFerrari was so damn sexy it was stupid. I walked 2 blocks down the road and still looked over my shoulder to try a catch a glimpse of it.

Rare car to see in person.

I have a doctor friend who buys a new Lamborghini every two years and sells them for a profit. I guess its nice to have that type of money.

A Ferrari should be red imo. Other colors just don't look right

White Testarossa and a white Countach would make the ultimate 80's garage.

Did they have a picture of the nearby tow truck (standard equipment) that is always 100 yards behind?

They have a couple of cars like this in the lobby of our building. Why? I have no fricking clue. I strongly strongly doubt anyone can afford it.

Someone was driving their Lambo on I-10 on my way to the LSU-Flordia game last week. I got on the side and tried signaling I wanted to race. So I took off. And smoked his arse





Granted, he didn't even try, but still a W in my book

doesn't ferrari have right of first refusal if you sell their cars?


Usually, to buy a new car you have to establish yourself with a dealer by purchasing an old Ferrari or two with them. By helping them move old inventory they will allow you to purchase a new car with them.

To buy this level or car you have to either know the right person to get in early, or be a serious Ferrari collector/previously owned many new Ferraris.

*yawn* These cars are everywhere down here. Rich people showing off to each other. You go to the grocery store and park next to a Maserati or some other car that costs more than my BR condo.

Unless you're talking about a MC12, please don't t compare a Maserati to a limited production multi million dollar Ferrari.

To buy this level of car


quote:

With a price tag of over £1m apiece, all 499 LaFerraris were sold before the car was first unveiled at the Geneva Motorshow last year. This despite the fact that to simply be considered LaFerrari ownership material, you needed (a) at least five Ferraris in your collection and (b) a first-name-terms relationship with Ferrari Chairman Luca Di Montezemolo, who personally approved all 499 owners.
