Update 5/2/05:

I went down to his office to have his staff help me with a major snafu occuring with the title company. On my way in, their entire staff was heading out for group photos. He and I talked a bit about my problem, then he asked me to wait a bit until they are done.

I asked him if it would be okay if I took pics of his car. He said driving it is better than looking at it, threw me the keys and said not to come back for awhile. 15 minutes later I return with a big stupid grin on my face. What an awesome car!

So for all you people who declared shens here's pics of the 360 next to my Crossfire. Enjoy.

Gee, why don't you just change them?

Y'know, seeing as that car doesn't exist?

And it's only in Forza?

And dirtboy certainly didn't drive it?

...

Oh right, that's the Ferrari you drove.

sweet how was it

It was much faster than I expected... which is hard to say, but it moved. The F1 transmission was jerkier than I expected, but it was cool to keep it floored and fly through the gears. The brakes are incredible... there were a few times I thought we were going to run into another car as the owner was showing it to me, but the brakes brought that thing to a quick stop.

It is silver with black interior.

It belongs to my realtor.

WTF!!! My wife is a realtor and she drives a Nissan Maxima! :|

 

[maziwanka]

glad you proved all the disbelievers wrong.

most of us will never get to drive one in real life

 

[CRXican]

You need penny pics.

also, why in the world did you buy a Crossfire?

1) Chrome wheels on a late model Ferrari look like ass
2) Someone can't take a joke. When I posted that comment, there was a big thread about Forza going on :roll:

I've never driven one, but I have ridden in a 360 Modena F1. It's quite an exhilerating experience which I have detailed here on more than one occassion

1) Opinion, not fact.
2) Someone being you. The only way that could have been better is if he had a sign saying "Yes, NFS4, I really am driving this car"

wow, i guess you are pretty lucky.

i personally don't like the 360 (and the 430) but hey, a ferrari is a ferrari.

when I was down in Arizona this past weekend and I stopped by my realtors office there were 80k+ cars EVERYWHERE. Arizona housing market = many rich realtors

I agree. He told me he bought used because someone told him to, but he said next time he's going to buy one new so he can get it the way he wants.

There's a Corvette Z06, a Bentley Continental GT, a Mercedes CLK convertible, occasionally a Porsche 911, and a couple Lexus LS sedans out in the parking lot where I work.

Fvck, I'm in SoCal. Granted, my wife made almost $100k last year but that's not Ferrari money.

Good question. There is a guy with a 500 SL in my apartment complex (really upscale complex), that has Mercedes logos where the license plate should be. It's been that way for like 6 months. He has a friend with a Lamborghini Diablo that is the same way. How do they not get tickets?

All the realtors at the office I'm going through seem to have newer Lexus vehicles. Tell her she needs to get her butt in gear

I'm going to take mine off the jeep and put up a sign in its place:

"Its ok, my other car is a ferrari"

This guy, his partner actually, made me 100k in 3 months, so I assume if he did that for me late in the market cycle that the two of them have been doing it for four years, which I know for fact. Dude owns 5 cars, just leased time on a Lear G5 and is thinking about selling the 360 for a Maybach.

Dude, how'd you like the acceleration. I loved my head slamming back into the seat with each flick of the paddle And looking over my shoulder to see the engine purring behind me.

And being the dash stroker that I am, I had to touch every piece of exposed aluminum on the center console and doors

cops are too busy looking at the rest of the car, naturally.
