    Must respectfully disagree. If you knew the owner of this car, and many many other f-cars he has, you would understand.....gent is as down to earth as they come....let’s not judge....believe this was more about a video being made.

    I considered doing it myself with the FF, then Lusso:
    Quite a funny sight, counterintuitive use of an exotic car, it's humorous and fun to do.
    No issue with people doing it, no disrespect to your friend.

    Yet, I can't get out of my head that there is a slight bit of obscenity doing this, which stopped me from doing it.
    Flaunting wealth has no more limits those days, and putting a pine tree on a LaFerrari and staging a photoshoot to put this online I don't consider this a class act, even if it's fun.
    Heck, we pay for the car, we do what we want with it! Of course. Still....

    A lambo owner would probably have added Reindeers next to the tree on the roof. Better tastes stay with the F car owner. All is well.

    Putting a tree on a Luxury car, especially a LaFerrari is as funny as it is obscene. As a generality.
    Whether it’s professionally shot by a magazine (your friends case, the drive), oneself to put on Instagram, or none at all.

    For your information, for some mysterious and very stupid reasons, Ferrari only offered 5 colors for the LafA. So for me the real shame is Ferrari not allowing its most trusted and faithfull customers to chose the color they want on a 7 digit car . It's is like spitting at their face.

    Some people tried to explain me it was because of production line schedule blah blah. I don't buy it. At all. Since when painting a car in yellow takes more time than painting it in blue ?

    Ferrari's attitude with the "5 colors only" policy was deeply depictable

    So I deeply understand those who resprayed it, especially @ChalStrad , who bhought numerous other cars from them in Tdf Blue

    Yes, I’m fully aware of their decision. I agree it had little to do with production. But, given how many owners chose such hideous liveries for the LaFerrari, I don’t blame Ferrari for limiting choices on the Aperta, although I personally would have included a few more color choices. None the less, just because someone has the opportunity to buy a bespoke super car doesn’t mean they have good taste. Considering that cars like the LaFerrari and LaFerrari Aperta (And 288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo) are flagships, the factory should hold the line on how people spec them. They represent the history of the brand. I’m all for it. It’s a shame how many LaFerrari’s I see with absolutely horrible color combinations, stripes, etc.

    Remarkable to me how people actually sat at the design center to configure their custom LaFerrari and then actually chose these atrocious wheels.

    You mean the black ones, right? 100% Agreed.

    Love those gold ones of the Aperta, by the way :)
