    You worried about not getting a ride in the Enzo, when you chose to drive the 550 some time back. What a day indeed!

    Thanks everybody!!!

    Jordan (hehe), in response to your question, I couldnt see the nose while driving. Im relatively short (5'8''), but even still you sit pretty low inside the cockpit and the dash is pretty high in your field of vision. That was another reason I was absolutely terrified to drive it...I had no clue about the dimensions of the car :)

    Is it possible to post movies on the website? Im not sure how really...

    Jordan,

    Great drive, great car, great event,...

    Man I'm jealous about your drive the Enzo. But you deserved it, Jordan. Now you are one of the few who drove an Enzo. Isn't that nice.

    Thanks, it was an amazing event! Im not sure how I really deserved the drive...very fortunate at the least! But there are plenty of guys from Fchat I would have rathered seen drive the Enzo instead! All of you truly deserve it!!

    Congrats, lucky devil. Of course, now you won't be satisfied with a GT4 as your personal Ferrari -- this has probably delayed you for quite some time :)

    In my opinion, the fact that you said that is what makes you deserving of driving the Enzo. The thinking about others and humble nature you show is what true car enthusiasm is all about. Congrats my friend. Well done. :)

    Also, kudos to the vehicle owner (Costa) for letting you drive it. It is people like that who make exotic cars really fun. Sharing with others the excitement of the cars, and making dreams come true. I wish there were more people like that in the exotic car world.

    I was talking to my parents about it this morning and Im afraid I have to get sentimental here :)

    As a kid I always loved Ferraris! The guys at Ferrari of Houston knew me by name since my parents were loving enough to drive me down there every weekend to drool over all the 348s :) The guys at FoH brought me closer to my dreams when they closed the dealership to hold a birthday party for me! No clue how my parents arranged that! As a gift they gave me a Ferrari patch which I still have sitting on my desk as a good luck charm, and the allowed me to sit in an F40!! Thats what really did me in :)

    Even after that, never in my wildest dreams was I ever expecting a ride in a Ferrari, much less driving one! Flash forward 12 years when I come across Fchat. Thanks to the guys here my dreams became a reality when the infamous Matt Lemus gave me my first ride in a Ferrari. Since then I have had the wonderful opportunity to ride in many other great cars! About a year after that another dream became an unexpected reality when Dom let me drive his 308 GT4. That was it for me...life was perfect. Lucky me though, a few weeks later Jerry let me drive his 328!! A 17 year old that had driven 2 Ferraris? That was it again...life was even more perfect. A few weeks later I find myself behind the wheel of Armen's 575!!! WOW! This time...really...it was it...life was perfectly complete...no really :)

    Already more than the luckiest guy in the world, a little over a month later for my Birthday Costa was gracious enough to let me drive a supercar...What a DREAM! If, indeed, it is a dream...dont wake me :) Too much fun than a guy my age should be allowed to have!

    Still have the smile on my face :)

    Its these experiences that have literally changed my life. All thanks to Fchat and the greatest people in the world who post here!! When I get my F40 or my Enzo, you all are driving it :)

    So anyway, thanks again everybody.

    IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!!!! Costa is an extraordinary driver, his ability to control the Enzo was simply amazing. The acceleration was great, the braking was even better. Sliding around corners was just plain awesome. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Costa, Thank you very much.
