Went into the Ferrari dealership today...

holy fucking fuck shit........Talk about a kick in the pants int he motivation department. I just cannot get over the effect these cars have on me, god damn. I've avoided going int he place for years due to me thinking that my broke ass will get chased out by some guy with the the job of keeping riff-raff off the cars. The people inside were actually pretty damn nice and let me just do my thing. I really want a grey 550 maranello. YUM

I remember the first time I went into a Ferrari dealership I was really surprised how nice they were. I expected them to have their noses in the air and not speak to me, but they were the friendliest dealers I ever spoke with. I think I pulled up to the dealership in a pretty crappy car too. Very pretty cars, but Ferrari's aren't my thing (too expensive for the performance) - I am a cheapo and the Viper is a steal.

Craig,

Are you referring to the one on Steeles?
I've been in there many times. In fact, I thought for a while I was going to be hit with a restraining order.

Honestly though, I found the same thing as you. Really good people.

The guys in the Ferrari club up here are pompus dorks...Snubbing their noses at our Vipers...I walk their eurotrash like a civic every chance I get...I am polite about it and always wave at them, even if it is with only one finger...

To the Ferrari guys I offer this advice: PUT YOUR COLLARS DOWN...THE PREPPY MEMBERS ONLY LOOK IS SOOOOOOO 1983!

PS: for the record, I am not refering to the dealers...just the "Ferrari Club Wankers"...

Sure am,

I see them headed to Mosport all the time on my way into work some mornings so I've been dying to go there, totally awesome place.

here is a pic I have from a CD directly from Ferrari.

It is a 575M F1.

The original size of the pic was over 4 meg...here is the 800K version....

didnt come out like I expected but the original pic is like you are there.

Damn, I need a better job.

I heard Ferrari gave Michael Schumacher a new 575 when they first came out. Must be nice to get paid 80 million to drive a bad assed car and get free Ferrari's on top of it.

and he has a net worth in the 300-400 million range. I would say he is having a good time.

I can tell you this.. The ferrari dealerships in europe are not as nice as the ones in the US. You basically have to bring your W2 over there to prove you can afford one before they unlock the front door to the dealership. It's one of the things that really irritates me with europe (i am sure there are exceptions to this, but this has been my experience pretty much throughout europe).

NOITALL · August 1st, 2003, 04:21 AM
