The F50 Thread

Sad to see a great photographer like Jason condone and promote this kind of behaviour and driving. Didn't use to watch his channel but in the past month I've seen another couple of videos recorded by him of similar content. The "Driving a Ferrari hard in the mountains of Mexico" fake stunt was very low.
People like this give a bad reputation to exotic car owners.

I'm no one to judge, but sure as hell I wouldn't hang out with a guy that drives shirtless ANY CAR and has that attitude.

 

Besides the obvious illegality, the sheer stupidity boggles the mind.

 

Listing is gone...


Someone know the highest bid?

 

So thats the one that crashed and the one that had 55k miles? Seeing how it was driven on that video, it's no surprise it crashed.

 

Not sure if that's the crashed one or not, but the driver's disposition & antics speak for themselves.

 

Is that his actual car or did someone give it to him? Shirtless and in the rain with the roof off in the middle of New York. Wow.

To his credit and considering his "look", he does seem to have decent car control. Although that might just be his luck that hasn't worn thin yet.

I got a chuckle out of seeing him use the turn signals when cutting in front of his friends.

 

I don't always drive like a mad man, but when I do, I use my turn signals while cutting in front of other drivers.

 

I've never understood the appeal of driving really fast in a straight line on a straight road with a lot of traffic around.

 

Amir, upon further investigation, it appears that his luck did in fact run out.

Being that I was weeks away from purchasing this very special car, I'm so sad about this.

 

FWIW, the listing is up again, Copart

 

I wish it had found its way to you as well. The previous owner had gone to great lengths (and expense) to ensure its continued survival. It's a shame that after all of that it ended up in such careless hands.

Whoah. I didn't realize this.

Ugh. That's incredibly sad.

Isn't that the same one at Copart? (i.e., the one that was destroyed due to hooliganism?)

 

Yes

 

You have to be a fycking moron to drive that fast and pass on the right on a bridge.

 

Figured.

And people wonder why cars like this end up on Copart and other salvage auction sites.

 

For whatever it's worth, we are in the processes of deploying tag readers & cameras on all of the bridges crossing the east river for the PD. Don't really know what they're going to use the info for but...

 

Any one got any experience of or views on ATL fuel tanks for the F50 v.s. Ferrari own?

 

Looks like some new pics have been posted; here are the 10 currently at the Copart link (see above FChat post for earlier pics)...

Anyone know what Symbolic was asking (or got) for the FBI F50? Ferrari of NE is asking 1.8 for the car with 5k miles. The FBI car would be on the bottom end of the spectrum, but wondering what the salvage title did to that one.

 

Found my own answer. Facebook page still shows price of $849,980. I think 1.8 is a little strong, but 850 is less than I would have thought. Did sell in less than a month though.

 

Now that's what I call being cool !
