Talking When you least expect it!

OK so I live in Vegas and was going S. on Towncenter today and look what I seen in my rear view mirror?

OK so these are the best pics I could find but yeah a 559!. I did not have my camara with me .



Then I seen this part in front of me real quick lol on to the turn lane he zoomed. As I pull up to the red light I give a thumbs up and see 2 old Jap dudes Dam! on to the next major light and what do I see?
BAM!

I was shocked

Nice! The 599 is the first front engined Ferrari I'm lusting for since the GTO. Just came back from Vegas, bling everywhere! Cheapest place to rent one too. Loved the Ferrari dealership at the Wynn with that FXX in the entrance.

I love Vegas. Took the family there last year, my two girls had a blast. Took a road trip to the grand canyon. Won a million stuffed animals, and went swimming. 112 deg. was fun also. Then the last night I won $1000 cash that payed for all the food we ate. I love that city.

^ I enjoyed it too, though not sure I'd take the kids...just the thought of explaining the "**** card slappers" to my 5 year old, or the escort mags littering the streets.

Aaah :)

I still have my collection of prostitute trading cards from my last trip to vegas. It was one of those really funny, free surprises that sticks with you years after your trip to Vegas.

I would look right at them, and they never tried to give any of us those cards.
There was quite a few families walking around. But we stayed on the newer part of Las Vegas.

Yeah I saw a 559 out in Belmont Shores CA a little while ago sad to say I didn't even know what kind of Ferrari it was until now, All I can say is, it was pretty amazing and the sound of it was unbelievable I'm not big into exotics but whoo!

I did the same thing...but I guess I look perverted. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the kids would love the coasters and even walking through the casinos. But I stayed at the MGM and walked down to the Venetien, and the slappers were everywhere.


Ghadrack, did you do the whole "got it - got it - need it" too with your cards? ...wife wasn't impressed.

We stayed at Luxor, and walked only as far as Mirage.
This year we will stay at Bellagio, that is if the new baby can handle the trip.

I let a silver murcielago be my cop magnet the whole ride home from ocean city MD a couple weeks ago... one of the few times that I figured I wouldn't be the flashy sports car to get pulled over for speeding! (Granted I wasn't speeding too much, only 75 in a 60...)

I was sad when it pulled off an exit, I was enjoying staring at it and hearing it!

I wonder if people are still forkin' over half a mil for the 599s like they were when they came out; those who did will probably end up seeing depreciation on the order of $300,000 or so after about 4 years-- not including the maintenance and repairs on the car.
