Parking your 360 or 430

How do you park your 360 or 430?

Valet, back of parking lot, take up two spots, or just park it anywhere?

I'm interested to hear your thoughts on this...

No Valet Parking, Park away from everyone, Never take up two spots. This is rule of thumb for me and always worked out for me

 

i valet it myself and pay them to use that spot. if no valet, i park it where i can see it. never take up two spots, sure way to get keyed i think

 

I pay the valet and self park.

That luggage cart looks dangerous... a gust could get it to roll...

 

Need to move that small tree landscape to block the luggage cart incase the cart rolls... LOL

 

The valet's are really good there. They keep an eye on the car for me. Last time I parked with the roof down they came to find me next door to tell me that it was starting to rain.

 

On the side of the street, like every normal Ferrari owner... duh!

Nice color choice by the way

Agreed. Plus, if I can, park were you can always see the car from where you are!

 

Parked in front of the Little Nell with the top down. It started to sprinkle. They came in and got me. When I got to the car they had two golf umbrellas covering the cockpit. Dry as a bone inside. Life is good.

My first question is: do you know how to drive an F1 transmission? If they say yes I ask how do you put it in neutral. Never had anybody park my car.

 

Little Nell is an A+ place. Thanks again for that recommendation along with a great wine for dinner.

 

anyone here in nyc(manhattan) know a good place to park or self park?

 

Yes! at your house and take NJ transit ...

 

I'm a new owner, but have parked a 430 in the West Village for the past month with no problems. It's not self-park due to insurance rules, but they are "car guys" and seem to take pretty good car of things (owner parks a GT2 there). The garage owner has become my unofficial consultant on car matters- he recommended inspection shop, confirmed my choice of radar/laser installation shop in nyc, offered advice on washing supplies... good guys, PM if interested in West Village parking and I can shoot you contact info.

If set on self-park: I believe the pier on the west side by Houston offers reasonable park and lock and some fchat members park there. Check "parking" in the NY Tri State board for more info

 

away from other cars & where I can see it.

if this can't be done.... its time for the daily driver.

Alan - Nice spider at the St. Julian! But I thought I had the only Ferrari in Boulder. I also work next door to the Julian. Will look for your car next time I walk by.

 

Far away from other cars, usually an end spot. Never had any issues but always come back to find lots of hand prints (car is black!) sometimes quite small

 

I always pay the valet at least $20 and I park the car. Last summer in Monterey, at the Marriott, the valet says follow him and he walks down the ramp. He has me park between an Enzo and a Veyron. Nothing like having cars over 1mil on each side of you

 

Jesus. A black 360 with no shields looks great!

Do you have red piping?

 

Good eye!

Red Calipers too

Valet or just park it where it fits .. which might explain some of the bumps and bruises she's picked up

 

First post here!

I try to park the drivers side next to a wall, and where I can see it. This way I have only one side of the car exposed to curious people or unconsidered people slaming their doors into mine!

Until now, it has worked well.

 

never take two spaces, thats the best way to get keyed....

 

You have a PM...

 

I have a red 430 and live in mapleton area...
