Arlie, Sad to say you are right about all of the above(below?). Right now walking outside for 5 minutes requires 2 bottles of water and an energy bar. Despite the bad things at least we have great food and a whole lot of culture! | ||

French quarter, would that be 25 francs? Or maybe New Orleans? Never been there, but have heard tales of 100+ degree weather and 100% humidity, high crime rate, alligators, etc. | ||

Try saying it with a southern accent, and you might figure it out  | ||

What the heck is "Nawlins"? | ||

"Bling" is refracting light from a diamond, or refers to the jewlery itself in some cases. The only reason I know this is because this originated by the rappers here in Nawlins. | ||

Looks to me like some sort of Hot Wheels Toy. Nice car, but keep the wheels stock. | ||

Air leaks, my friend. i check my pressures before every drive (cold) and one tire loses as much as a lb. overnite; if it sits a few days, a few lbs. Had the things checked by WWOC, who claimed no leaks. Then a knowledgeable friend, also a barchetta owner, asked me if i had the problem; when i called FNA, they readily acknowledged it and agreed to replace the wheels. | ||

wm hart, what kind of leaks are they having with the wheels? Are they some new space age liquid filled wheels that I'm not aware of? | ||

It seems like every car in la has shiny wheels, no matter what it is; standard mercedes S class, which in ny is truly boring nonetheless seems to be delivered to every californian with shiny ones.They don't necessarily look right on every car. BTW, there have been leaks with the modular wheels that come with the barchetta, and ferrari is quietly replacing them when the complaints come in. | ||

I agree to some extent, but the barchetta is such a classy car adn the wheels add something. When did chrome wheels become gangsta'? Is it the chrome or the 24" diameter or both? used to Cragar mags on a 68 camaro was cool, but chrome on a modern car is bling bling. I love saying "bling bling"... | ||

I am a sucker for big shiny wheels. I guess it dates back to the muscle car era when jacking up your car was cool with big wide 50's on the back. And I make fun of the riceboy cars!! Hell I even had a mullett so who am I kidding. | ||

rears are too wide - on a 550 the front track ought to be wider than the rear track and it looks as though that's been screwed with the MASSIVE wheels. | ||

This could quite possibly be the coolest car I have ever seen. The wheels are HRE 545's right? Those don't come stock do they? http://www2.dupontregistry.com/search/srDetails.asp?itemid=62382&sessionkey={C83926B9-CB7C-42E5-87EB-32B6C2C25F75} http://www2.dupontregistry.com/search/srDetails.asp?itemid=62381&sessionkey={C83926B9-CB7C-42E5-87EB-32B6C2C25F75} |
