Was feeling good about myself until...

had just zaino'd the car. left work early. got my paycheck today. was feeling good, then I saw this and reminded myself how I wish I had a few hundred K lying around and there's lots more to accomplish still

...we've all seen this in pics, but to see in person, knowing an enzo engine lies beneath that sleek skin was pretty cool....

cell phone pic-parked on the curb nonetheless on a busy DC side street.

While its an awesome car performance wise, I'm not super enthralled by the styling. I think that the new Astons are the best looking cars in the front engine GT/Sports car category. I think the last truly beautiful ferrari was the 275 GTB (4 or 2 they look the same regardless of number of cams). The F430 has my vote for their current crop of cars in terms of styling.

Wouldn't kick it out of the garage, thats for damn sure though. I bet its sounds lovely too.

wow, really nice! I really like the aerodynamic designs. Really nice car, but I think I would prefer a better looking style, just something about the front and back that just makes me feel a little bit uncomfortable. Maybe it is just me and my own preference.

Wow, the GTB is a beautiful car. The maranello is sex on wheels though. I've seen a couple of F430's and still love the old 360. Also had the pleasure to have seen a DB9, that was nice!

I'd feel bad too. That car gets better gas mileage than the 8.

I guess I'm the only one who thinks the F430 looks ugly. I'm not into the weird exotic looking cars. This is one of the nicest looking Ferrari's IMO.

Actually no, it doesn't, and if gas mileage is such a big concern to you, sell your car.

My friend bought her husband a 360 Modena F1 just like this one for his 35th birthday last year . He's gonna join us on our next NW drive in June or July. I can hardly wait to take pics of his car amongst all of our 8's !

Damn!!

I got to touch a black F360 Spider yesterday. I was in awe...some spoiled kid from in my neighborhood my high school had his parents rent him one for the day. My friend who's a classmate of his took me. Wish I knew him a little bit so I could of driven it a little, all the adults at the party were =/

One dude stepped on it going past the house...it's literally twice as fast as my 8

Yikes, talk about spoiled! How much does it cost to rent one for a day? Black.... nice.... Holy crap they are FAST - I got to ride in it for about 4 miles. It was in town with only one straight stretch, but still... I'm not sure if he'll let me drive it or not, but we'll see what happens I'm thinking I'll get to though. I took care of their 3 yr old son one night at the last minute when they scored some basketball tickets, so it's only fair don'tcha think
