Sigh....Got a ride in a...

Ferrari 360 Modena F1 today. Gorgeous and fast! Light blue metallic with tan interior

My grad school study buddy, Trinh, bought her husband this car as a surprise birthday gift!

The very cool story behind it: When Darren, her husband, was a teenager and loved cars, his dad took him to a Ferrari dealership and they looked around and drooled , and then they took a test drive and were in heaven.

By no means could Darren's dad afford a car like that, but he loved them. He told Darren that he hoped that Darren would do well enough in school and life so that if he wanted to, he could afford a car like that someday.

Darren turned 35 right after my fiance, Randy, died last summer. Darren and Trinh loved Randy and were really shaken up when he died. Trinh said "Life is so short - we need to live and have fun now, so I'm buying Darren his dream car for his birthday". She set up a surprise with the dealer and it was amazing! Darren was SHOCKED

The best part was when Darren's dad came to town and Darren surprized him. It was so awesome for his dad to be able to see their dream come true. Sniff...

Sorry Chris, currently only Mercury offers such an option. It's actually standard on their flagship car, the Mistress.

That's good, because you could buy about 10 of them for the price of one of those.

Now Tigr8 you stated it was the F1? Is that the model where they made to many GT cars and sold the extra's to the public (has a small stripe(s) down the middle of the car). If so omfg... they are going to have fun in that car. Even if its not.. damn. Again I want a wife like that she rocks!

Also kinda looks like a Kit Car, with their emblems slapped on for a added $100k.
