The more I talk to these guys the more deeply I realize that they rarely drive their cars. I pour gas through mine likes it's free.

Never see a Mclaren or Aston.
1. There a people that ride there bikes in my neighborhood and they wear the bike suites like they're in a Tour de France. I just want to hit them with my car lol... So I'd make fun of him too.

2. Love me some Aventadore. But I wouldn't mind a Saleen S7

3. Who do people buy cars and not drive them??? Seems like such a waste IMO.

Sometimes, in some locations, they're known for highly profiling customers and treating them as such. If you look like the average Joe and show up in a C class you're likely to get the cold shoulder. Many franchise stores have a chip on their shoulder and act as such because they have the franchise name to back them up. We had a customer who told us he went to a local Ferrari dealership here in Southern California in his Mercedes (but owned a 2005 Carrera GT) and was refused a test drive even with a considerable deposit. The only reason I know he wasn't totally full of it was because he showed up to our shop, we gave him the time of day as everyone deserves, and he purchased a 458 from us (and had plenty of pics of his beautiful CGT). Its unfortunate but happens all too often, the golden rule of never judging a book by its cover..

Agree Bryce to some extent. Still, it is very disconcerting how the Ferrari factory denies in-warranty repairs on defective parts... claiming said parts are not defective. How does that make you as a dealer feel when this happens to your customers?

I just went through this issue. I was looking at a '06 430 convertible and an '08 Gallardo convertible. I have previously owned a F355 F1. In the end the Ferrari fit me better due to my size, 6 foot 3 inches, 225 pounds, but the Gallardo was not uncomfortable to the point I would not buy it. Ferrari is a much larger brand and thus you get lost as a customer. Lamborghini is what every kid dreams of, at least I did.

So...

I pick up the Gallardo this Friday.

Agree, these are DRIVER cars, not garage queens or those afraid of a little rain (or snow in my case). My old sig file on a Ferrari board years ago before the car left here and never looked back was "Neither rain nor snow nor... would keep me from driving the car". Still holds true today. Poseurs and garage queens need not apply here. Funny how at car meets if a little rain happens some guys go into panic mode. LOL!

My Gallardo is my daily driver although I do have to admit getting the mop home from Home Depot the other day was a challenge. Thank god I have a Spyder.
