Damn Ferrari

[justinxecushyn]

So i come into work today and go park as i usally do...except this time there is a Ferrari parked next to me with the owner still preparing to go into the building. I get out of the car and he tells me nice car and I do the same. Its a new model one, blue. I will post pics as soon as i can locate a camera phone or a digi cam from someone here...damn i love italian made products.

Not really. Drive one first. I almost bought one, but the lack of torque and having to rev it so high turned me off.

[Kevykev]

looks like this


damn man, that's an F430.

Best one yet IMO.

That blue one isn't an f430. Look at the headlights, bumper, rear. It is all different. Looks like a 360 to me.

Just drive one and tell me what you think. The lack of torque really hurts the car. It's like driving an S2000 - it feels like a Civic until you rev the shit out of it. No thanks. The GT3 was the same, except more responsive than the 360 Modena. Now, the F430 is supposed to be a major improvement over the 360, but I can't judge until I drive it.

It is an F430, they just put something on the front bumper.

Here is another F430 for comparison:

Eh, the red and yellow cars posted here are different. Look where the hoods line up and the headlights.

Through me off.

The yellow one is a 360 Modena while the red and blue are F430s.

[HalfBaked]

Ok well that explains that.

[bigb996]

u still baked man? hahah jk

i think ruiner is the only man lucky enough to test drive a ferrari on IA. Do they make you put a deposit down or anything man?

[99ITRGIRL]

They didn't make me, but they did want to verify my job and that I had the cash to buy. Some are off-limits unless you are REALLY serious. Most people that come to Ferrari of Atlanta already know what they want. Test-driving is sorta out of the picture at that point. Of course, now, showing up in a 911 turbo gets you all kinds of offers. My buddy has a 360 Modena (I need to give him a call) and an even closer friend has two F355s (one coupe, one spider). I recently met a guy who has a 348 Spider and is on the list for the F430. You can pick the F348 up for $45-55k more or less. I'm sure that I'll drive the F430 when he gets it ~1.5 years from now (hell of a waiting list).

They LOOK great, but the peformance is still "eh". The F430 is a step in the right direction, however.

After seeing the guy again, it is confirmed a f430, not the 360. I wish i could afford to even be concidering to buy a Ferrari, what industry are you in Ruiner? and are they hiring? lol...well not really laughing, i'm looking for a new job i need more $$$.

How old are you? What degree do you have? What experience?

[justinxecushyn]

I'm 22, i'm in the process of my associates, then i'll go after my BA, i've just passed Entry level system analyst.

[justinxecushyn]

my salary is Mediocre compaired to industry minimum...i'm taking a huge pay loss working at the place i'm working but i chalked it up as a learning and expierance.

sure you did....

[Ruiner]

sure you did....

Umm, you see what I drive, correct? It (they both are) is paid off. You know that, right? Who are you to argue with me?

Experience IS important. It really helps to have a 4-year degree, though. As shitty as it may seem, that piece of paper makes a world of difference.

[Ruiner]

jdmlude, I'm waiting...

If you are going to call me out as being a liar, please explain and justify your reasoning.

[Spyder]

They are cool cars but i always felt there were better cars to be had for the same or less money.. Ruiner made a good choice in cars when choosing between a few different ones.

Thanks for the compliment. As for your statements, I agree, but I'd still like to know why I was "called" out like that. Interesting.

I won't even put up an argument against that one. Very true. I think that with my associates and hopefully a ba + my expierance, i hope something will pay off for the hard work.

[ATK_Designs]

I need a new Job too :(. Can you hook me up Ruiner???

Let see, I have a BS in Electronics Engineering Technology. 1 yr of experience as Electronics Engineer. Now working as Process Designer. I know, I need more experience. :(

Guys, with the industry as it sits, I am about to go back and get my Masters just so that I can get another leg up on everyone else. Paper pays...

what industry are you in?

[Ruiner]

what industry are you in?

Information Technology

With a Masters, you begin to work your way into serious management and director level positions. Those are big money. :)
