    Don't like it, wayyy to flashy for me.

    Does anyone know anything about who owns this? The reason I ask is that I read somewhere about the lower the numbers on middle eastern plates - not sure which country - belonged to someone closer and closer to the royal family, and since this is #1, would I be wrong to assume it belongs to a King or Sultan?

    There have been several discussions concerning this car.

    Horribly tasteless IMVHO. Poor 599 :(

    Disgusting! As if the stripe, the gold, and the rims weren't bad enough, it has a spoiler. No taste...

    I agree - best part is Arab's own 5% or more of Ferrari. They are laughing at every Red look like Ferrari owner all the way to the bank. Its not oil money it is from the profits they make off of all the guys whining.

    the beauty of having mondo green is that it affords MANY choices:) ah yes, perspectives from different parts of the world, ethnocentric views at work...it would be terrible if the car was only available in one color AND you couldn't do anything to 'personalize' it:) who are we to say our tastes are 'correct' or 'superior'? i chuckle when i see 'more money than taste' comments...it just strikes me funny. i can hear conversations by Arabs along these lines..'yuck, ANOTHER red Ferrari...that must be located in the US somewhere' or 'the owner must be American' ie..boring uptight owners. but we all know that isn't necessarily the case. and 'modifying F-cars, well, that's a whole nutha can of worms...

    I gotta admit, I really like the matte finish on this. I think it looks great. The flashy gold in the OP looks horrible in my opinion. I'm not one for flash, I hate chrome rims even.

    Is anybody else reminded of the shirtless rocker guy that sells rides in his gold/red 360? I know somebody has the link. :)
