If you really want attention, drive a Ferrari. Initially I thought it was fun but after owning five they became a nuisance. My wife refused to ride in them. One reason why I switched back to Porsche.

I didn't get much attention with the TT Cab and the only attention I got driving my GT3 was other racers looking for action which I ignored. My .2Targa gets more attention than the GT3.

Funny story, was in a gas station gassing up my 430 and a guy walks up with his wife and say's "What a beautiful Mustang. I didn't realize that Ford has changed it so much. When did this model come out?" Obviously, he saw the Prancing Horse and mistaken it for a Bronco. I didn't correct him in front of his wife.

The only Ferraris that have really caught my eye are the speciale and 488. I see some California's and i dont see the appeal in them.

Which Ferrari was your favorite?

For sense of performance, the Stradale. However, after a couple of hours it gave me a headache. The 430 Spider I really enjoyed but the attention was ridiculous. I suppose the yellow exterior had something to with it.

Its when I decided Ferrari wasn't for me. I would add that I was in the program so that I would get the new models without standing in line. However, turning in your car for the new necessitated keep the mileage low. When I decided I wasn't returning to Ferrari I put 15,000 miles on the 430. In selling it I had to take a depreciation hit.

In Palm Beach or Miami you can bring your RS to a restaurant and the guy in front has a Veyron or Enzo. Last week I was in back of a La Ferrari on Worth Ave so the competition is strong and the public jaded.

That's what I call good parenting!
