I love Ferraris so seeing these stories sadden me. i've been seeing and hearing to many stories of stupid Ferrari owners who lend their cars to young inexperienced drivers, resulting in a lot of destroyed Ferraris. I'm still confused as to why the owners of these cars would let these bone heads drive these cars.
here is the links to two of the stories

Ouch..... The F40 is my favorite Ferrari... I WANT one.... probably will never get one.... but DAMN....
 
Not into Ferraris, but I do kinda' like the Testarossa.

Oh, and the 288 GTO.
 
give it up for the Maserati...it's like to Ferrari when Toyota is to Lexus......and Maserati's have come a long way......and then you got Alfa Romeo which is the cheap-@ss devision that has the WORST resale...right next to the KIAs..which sucks cause those Alfa Romeos (Like the ones in Jame Bond QS) were really badass! Check out Jeremy Clarkson's Top Gear episode on em

actually - right now, decent Testarossas are down to the $50k to $60k range. That is incredibly cheap for a car that started out at close to 1/4 million dollars. Probably time to pull the trigger on getting one... You know they shouldn't be this cheap, a 12 cyl, mid engine stallion - heck, Testarossas usually come in first when Ferraris are ranked. And, insurance - only about $600 a year... seems like a bargain.

However those $2500 tune ups hurt a little ;)

Jack asses!

The only Ferrari I can honestly say I like as far as looks goes is the F50 in hard top form.
 
I beling to a local exotic car club - meet once a month - drive somewhere as a group - eat, drink, shop...

I don't get to do it much but here are a few pics...

you can own a ferrari kid......get a 308 GTS, ya know magnum pi style.....you can get one of those for around 25 grand
 
Whats the silver car in front of the Yellow Viper? And is that a new black Camaro concept in that pic also? Its the 11th car back.
 
usually, there are 3 GTs, 1 R8, a couple of lambos (5 are part of the group), 1/2 dozen ferraris (a dozen belong), then there is a 'bunch' of lotus (Elise/Exige) and vipers...

the odd german sedan or corvette sneak in....
some old school lotus 7, clubmans, AC cobras, .....

some of the non-exotics are people tagging along - wifes, friends, ....etc (the hot girlfriend is usually in the passenger seat)

I believe the silver car is a rare, exotic japanese econo coupe... ;)

The black - doesn't seem to have the 'smiley' front grill I have seen on the new Camaros -

The first car show of the year for the caddy is Automezzi, a great group of Italian designed cars - if it has a pininfarina badge - it is allowed in...

And jwarner - that photo is just sooo sad - hopefully they castrated the drivers... :)
 
Hmm, I wanna know what those two cars are now.

Do you really think it dont look like a Camaro? Maybe a new Challanger. Looks like one of those two in the pic at least.

And I dont understand what type of guy lets two teens use his Ferrari's. Thats just one of those weird high school gym teacher student things:yuck:
