    Believe it or not Im pretty sure the first Ferrari I ever sat in was a brand spanking new Enzo at Ferrari of Denver when they were first delivered to the US. I can't recall any sits before that, or maybe the awesomeness of that Enzo just erased anything before it. The Enzo in town was on the morning news and my mom told me about it and drove me down there to get a look. I was in 7th grade and had been reading anything and everything on that car. It was gated off and I think she just asked one of the sales men if I could have a sit in it and he said why not. Got in, got my picture taken and by that time the a line 20 deep had formed and the guy had to say no to everyone else! Shortly after she talked the guy into letting me sit in a yellow 355 spider (he must of liked her ;)

    My first ride was in a yellow 360 Modena at Pikes Peak International Raceway. Driver was a good looking blonde and she could DRIVE. Fell in love twice that day ;) Guess who asked the owner if I could tag along for a few laps? Good ol' mom....

    I now can speak for myself as an independent 20 year old haha....but I sure do love my mom :)

    Have yet to drive one though... cant wait to see what it is. Need to work on driving a manual before I do too, embarassing as that is...

    And when I get my own oneday, the first thing I'm gonna do is get my mom her first ride in a Ferrari

    The first I sat in was a 360 Stradale, the first I had a ride in was a 430 Coupe, and the first I drove is a 355 Spider. Hey, anyone have an F50 they want to let me drive a little, while we're on the subject? :p
