MercedesSL600Man - Awesome 7 series, reminds me of the one in the first Transporter movie.
Well, I gotta say, I live in Marin county. Im 31 and all my neighbors are over 100. When Im driving my 360 out of the neighborhood they are always yelling "SLOW DOWN" I look at my speed and 15MPH. When I get in the streets every other car is a Perius. I must have counted 40 just the other day. Im usually really cool when driving my car. I dont have a tubi and I dont seek attention. But still people think Im an ******* for driving such a fancy car. I was in LA a few weeks ago and my cousin drives a 430. All day long girls winking, thumbs up, and one girl even threw her business card in his car. Go figure, where is the middle ground. Bakersfield?
Ha reminds me of that Toyota Celica commercial a few years back where the old guy look at the parked car and yells to slow down with the tag line, "Looks Fast". Difference being this time the subject actually IS fast
I have been a Ferrari owner for over 20 years and the fact is that they attract more 6-16 year old boys than anything else. Its great to share the enthusiasm with kids. My nephew was only 3 when he started his Ferrari enthusiasm, and when they were over the house and he saw my garage........ Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I must admit there have been many flirtatious events in my 360, I cannot comment further!! My wife reads this sometimes!!

Darn nice spider. I would love to see more pics of it if you wouldn't mind posting. That black looks pretty mean.
Funny one I find every time I drive there are a few sorts of people. Those who look, those who do not look at all and those who try not to look but have a sneeky peek. I guess I do the same sometimes as you do not want to encourage the guy behind the wheel too much I hate being stuck in traffic, I try not to look around because more often than not there is someone looking at the freak driving the freak car and turing to look at them involves either a stare out or you looking away knowing they are probably looking at you. I do not look back at the chicks when my wife is around at least
My wife and I took her 355 out a few weeks ago. She was driving. She has not driven the car much and was a bit nervous. We pull up to a stop light and are waiting for green. She is just trying to concentrate on driving. A guy on a speed bike is revving his engine at her from across the intersection trying to get her attention and is giving her thumbs up. She doesn't seem to notice. He does this a few time and my wife finally asks me "what in the world is he doing"? I tell her that he is trying to get her attention and is telling her he likes the car. She said, "Oh great, now he probably thinks I am a real b*tch driving this car". I have hence forth lovingly refer to her as the Ferrari b*tch.
I drive my 360 daily. Funniest one I saw happened at one of the local coffee shops. I can park it usually in a primo spot and still see it from inside while I read the morning paper. A guy and his girlfriend come walking by and take a real good look. They've got a camera and the windows are down all the way. So he gets next to the driver's door and squats down a little and puts his hands in the 10 o'clock 2 o'clock position, lining himself up as perfect a possible. She gets on the passenger side and shoots thru the window to get a picture of him "driving the car". Real cute...
My neighbors kid is 5. First time he saw the car he RAN towards it and started asking questions. 1 week later he had a pair of brand new Puma shoes with the Ferrari logo. Another 2 weeks later a t-shirt as well. I´ve taken him for a couple of rides. He comes over with he´s small childseat and ask manage to climb in by himself. Another story as well, I was driving through a tunnel and I see this Porsche cab in front of me (cab down). I accelerate really hard and pass the Porsche at 8.500 rpm shifting in to 3rd in the that tunnel. Later when the Porsche passes me the girl in the passenger seat makes 2 thumbs up with a huge smile in her face and her boyfriend is staring at the road in front of him, not smiling. 3rd and last story is from this summer. Me and my wife had a party at home. A few of my friends had not ssen my car so we went to the garage. Abit drunk I started the engine and let it idle for a while. Then I asked them to stand behind the car to listen to the amazing sound. I revved it quite hard a few times and got out. All 4 are standing OUTSIDE the garage now and looked really shocked. "Thanks for making me deaf" I was told. They don´t understand the fantastic sound that car makes.
