No it wasn't iverson. It was some old white guy

 

oh. I saw AI in his really really hooked up Chrysler 300 on city line on friday, i swear the wheels had to have been 26 inches.

 

Red Ferrari 355, pulled over by a MD cop on 495 today around 8pm.

 

black 348ts in downtown baltimore sunday afternoon ,tried to catch up w him in my 348 , but traffic was too thick .

 

Yeah, it was purchased by an attorney who initially wanted to purchase a 360 spider but picked this up for $225K instead.

 

225k for a ford gt...screw that...the car isn't that great! Wait till prices come down...they will eventually.

 

225k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

silver 355 spider in a garage in merion close to BC. The daughter goes to my school

 

Hook it up brotha...i'll take good care of her.

 

I don't know her that well. And if your in it for the dad's ferrari, that's a bad reason

 

nah i don't give a **** about the car...i'm in it to get in her pants

 

SHE'S 15!

 

OOPS...damn focker...you shoulda said her age from the beginning...i take back all statements leading to this.

 

Silver SLR, first one i ve seen on the road, going north on 495 near the MD/VA border, at around 930am. This afternoon i saw a black (maybe TDF blue, couldnt see too clearly) 550 (pretty sure it wasnt a 575) on 495 near tysons

 

Red F430 on the beltway (495N) in DC on Thu 5/26. Traffic was nuts. This was my "first" 430.

A couple of days prior I saw a red 360 Spider in Central PA about 1/2 mi from my house. Anyone know who?

 

Hmmmm......have you driven one in order to make that statement? Unless you have, or until you do, you might want to equivocate just a bit, huh.

 

I have not and I will not take back that statement. The car is NOT worth 225k. Even 150k sticker is pushing it. Those that pay more wanna be the first on the block to have one. Once the novelty wears off...back down to sticker they go. It's like a 360 spider...one can be had for less than 200k now...now that the f430 is out. Ford will produce something bigger and badder that outdoes the GT.

 

Oh, I dunno.

When Les fired his up the other day, it made all the little hairs on my neck stand up.

It looked great, sounded great, I'm guessing it drives great, and is a pretty good bang for the buck.

Eventually, they'll run back down towards list, but not right away I wouldn't think.

Mark, you're missing my point. I'm not arguing whether the car is worth more or less than sticker, or that sticker is fair, but rather that you cannot make the statement that "the car isn't that great" about any vehicle until you've driven one and decide for yourself. If you have driven any car, be it a Ford Focus to an Enzo, and then decide for yourself that "it isn't that great" then fine. Until you do, you can only suppose that it is, or isn't that great. I'm not suggesting that you're not entitled to your opinion, only that one cannot be so unequivocal without firsthand experience. I didn't THINK the GT was "that great" until I drove one and concluded that, for me, it was worth getting, even at a premium. I didn't buy it as an investment, I bought it to enjoy the drive. No flame intended.

 

I could not agree more, lets face it if you are going to spend over 100k for any car (and its not an ivestment), it better bring you enjoyment, because if it does not your buying them for the wrong reason. I had a very similar discussion with the members of the M3 board in regards to their opinion about Ferrari's. I have driven and owned alot of cars and I have my opinions, but ask me about an SL55, or the DB9, or the GT for that matter, I can tell whether I like the way they look but thats about it.

 

hmmm...good points by both. You are correct i can't say if the car is great or not because I haven't driven it. I'm only going by magazines mixed with my opinion. The GT may be a bang for the buck for the original price but for me to say it's not worth X amount of money isn't correct since i neither have the money or experience of driving one. So...can I drive it? hahaha...j/k

 

Sure. It might change your mind.

 

really? if not drive it...then at least look at it...never seen one in person.

 

Sure. Where are you?

 

Les i just saw you in yours on Montgomery Ave.
