I got a ride in a Ferrari today!

[BlackRider]

A Ferrari 360 Spider! Let me tell you, when that engine winds up I go weak in the knees. With this car, fast is an understatement! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :eek2 --><img src=http://www.thzclan.com/forums/images/smilies/eek2.gif ALT=":eek2"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>The guy stopped in at the florists today (he's a frequent customer) and we saw that he traded in his Aston Martin for a Ferrari. We were chitchatting about his car and I offered to trade him his for mine. He said that even though he really like white there was a big difference in cost and fun factor. I said, "really?" and he said, "wanna see?" and you all know there's only one answer to that question. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :bounce --><img src=http://www.thzclan.com/forums/images/sm ... bounce.gif ALT=":bounce"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:red;font-size:large;">C</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:orange;font-size:large;">O</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:green;font-size:large;">L</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;font-size:large;">O</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:indigo;font-size:large;">R</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:violet;font-size:large;">S</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:pink;font-size:xx-large;">!</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--></p><i></i>

Good for you. I have always heard Ferraris corner like they are on rails. Is that true? <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.xmenclan.org/avatars/rogue_av.jpg" style="height:200;width:125;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>"Fare well wherever you fare,<br>until your eyries receive you at your journey's end."<br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://pub39.ezboard.com/brohan73264">Rohan BBS</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://pub3.ezboard.com/bxmenclan">XMEN clan BBS</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br></p><i></i>

We didn't go fast around the corners. (Stop signs & the local rangers prevented that.) He just recenlty got it after 3 years on the waiting list and he didn't want to risk anything. Judging from Ferraris being known more for cornering than straight line performance they had better corner like no other!<br><br>I missed the big Cincinnati auto show last week... was working. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":("><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Oh, and the local guy w/ an F50 got it out the other day and he had the top off! Too bad I missed it. I've only seen it with the top on. The F50 is definately the most stunning car I've ever seen! (I only see this car once every other year so he must not get it out often.) <p><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:red;font-size:large;">C</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:orange;font-size:large;">O</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:green;font-size:large;">L</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;font-size:large;">O</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:indigo;font-size:large;">R</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:violet;font-size:large;">S</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:pink;font-size:xx-large;">!</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--></p><i></i>

I like the Ferrari, but I think I would rather have the Vanquish. Never be able to get in either one, but looks alone I personally like the Vanquish betther. Personally my favorite Ferrari is the F355 Berlintta with the F1 trasnmission. The 360 is nice both hard top and covertible too. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://members.bellatlantic.net/~vze2f5 ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

That 612 is pretty sweet!<br><br>I met a local guy that has a 550 Marinello (sp?). It was painted a silver/grey/blue. <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>VERY</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--></em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> nice color on a <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>VERY</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--></em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> nice car!<br><br>The cool part was that he actually was asking me about my Audi. He was just really cool about his car and mine. He said he only takes it out on dry days when the temperature is above 75. That limits it to the summer from late June to early September.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

[Mavicator]

That 612 doesn't do anything for me, kinda boring for an Italian sports car. But the 550 has always been a beautiful car in my eyes. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.camerasupport.com/oV/mavsigr ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

[XMENPorsche]

The 612 just has some VERY sweet curves. The 575 has a much more agressive look and appeals to me on a more visceral level. <p></p><i></i>

Ewwwwww....Porsche used "visceral"....that makes me quesy!!!!<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :bounce --><img src=http://www.thzclan.com/forums/images/sm ... bounce.gif ALT=":bounce"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>
