Rick Ross is one of us? (kinda NSFW)

Disclaimer: I hate hip hop with a active passion. I'm proud I couldn't name one song on MTV or most radio stations/XM channels. I only know who Rick Ross is because I watched the Joe Rogan Podcast with the real Freeway Rick Ross who had his name stolen by some tubby wannabe tough-guy.

BUT I noticed that "6x6 Benz G Wagon" was trending on Twitter. Turns out Rick Ross tweeted a pic of a 6x6 and everybody flipped out. Dunno if he bought it or just took a picture. I also noticed that his header image is a pic from Vogue Hommes International (a fashion mag) with a Testarossa and a naked model. These are all great things and I thought you might like to see stuff we love filter to the general population. Though, I would be impressed if he could fit in a Testarossa, let alone drive it.

Loping Camshaft > Crocket Bernet
07/10/2014 at 21:02

From what I know, most of the time they buys cars to show off (not always, ex. Ice T). You don't see many going to Cars and Coffee or track days, bro. As a whole, rock musicians more often have cool cars and use them.

Rappers do have cool cars, but to call them Jalop is a stretch. It's against the Jalop ethos to buy a car just to show off. You can be rich and buy nice cars, but if you don't take them out and don't know how to drive them, it's a waste.

07/10/2014 at 21:04

In this case, it's one of the biggest feathers in my proverbial cap to have nearly no knowledge of current "popular" music. This also goes for country music and EDM. I can't stand the music that most people my age (29 y/o) like. Sorry if you or others do, but those three categories are literally a joke to me. I'm generally very liberal open minded about most other things, including cars.

I'd put driving gloves on whenever going near that car. my actual hands will never touch anything, especially the steering wheel and shifter knob.

07/10/2014 at 21:08

What a coincidence. A contractor at my job saw me browsing Oppo and brought up cars, he told me next year he's buying a 911 GT3, this guy is like 6'4" 400 lbs plus. I said that's a pretty small car and he said it's huge in the inside and that he sat in one comfortably and said even if he was 6'6" he'd still be comfortable. He said a couple years ago he was about to buy a Ferrari 599 GTB off a guy for $79k but he couldn't fit in the 599 comfortably.

Crocket Bernet > Loping Camshaft

I know that there are at least a few with testarossas e30s and vintage porches. Not everything you hear in a song is true. Also, we probably don't listen to the same rap music.

I saw the driving gloves part in the preview. I would also need a full race suit.

We can finally relate to him!

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
07/10/2014 at 21:46

Exactly.

Can the 458 hurry up and depreciate already so I can take out a 144 month auto loan for it and feel like a genius as it immediately starts appreciating?

I wonder how much a 458 Speciale with literally no options other than the backup camera and parking sensors (protect the car, yo) would cost.

...Running to check right now

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
07/10/2014 at 21:49

Awesome cars depreciate a little when they first stop making them, then they just start appreciating a lot. You must make your move then!

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
07/10/2014 at 21:54

I need moar money now!

I feel like going out tonight but I won't. I'll keep working while Oppoing. Work is not that annoying when you do OppoWörk.

I can't find a site that will configure the Speciale with options but the AOL Autos site will configure the base 458 coupe and spider with options. So we can probably assume that the options will cost the same for the Speciale to determine what a bare bones one would cost since the Speciale MSRP is published.

Dude check this out - you can order a brand new 458 Coupe with zero options for:

$233,859

Yet the cheapest one for sale right now that isn't a weird color or a track day rental is a 2010 with about 6000 miles on it for $200K flat. It has a few options but so not worth it to get options in exchange for a car that has NO warranty left because Ferrari didn't have that long warranty program in 2010. And 2010 is the first year of production and those were the cars that got recalled.

$200K is such a CP price for a 2010. They should seriously be more like $160K.

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
07/10/2014 at 21:56

Jesus, if they continue like this they'll go the way of the 993 and.... .never depreciate.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
07/10/2014 at 22:06

seriously! damn it

so here is the scoop:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

$2314

Reverse Camera System $3637

Base price (per Bloomberg): $288,000 before destination and gas guzzler tax

So I estimate $298,451 with the two options, the gas guzzler tax and destination.

I've seen used Italias and Spiders for way more than that because A) people order cars with a shit ton of options and B) the lightly used 2012-2014 cars sell for MORE than MSRP because buyers don't want to order a car and wait for it to be built.

So you know what we've established here? It's a NO BRAINER for anyone who can afford a $300K car to order a very lightly optioned Speciale!! Why pay to have carbon fiber trim for a base car when the Speciale comes with it and you get the faster engine and transmission and the fancy side slip control to make you drift as good as the Monkey?

And this car will be more rare and highly coveted in the future because last N/A special edition Dino.

Fuck

I wish I could qualify for this loan right f'ing now

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
07/10/2014 at 22:11

Wow. Anyone who is even remotely able to obtain a Speciale needs to do so AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!! That car will never lose value. Ever. Sell all the cars, and the mansion. You basically have no choice.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
07/10/2014 at 22:16

Many thoughts going through mind now...

Can't sell house. It's too important for many reasons to keep it.

But I heard from someone on Oppo that some credit unions will do "no doc" loans. They'll give you the loan without verifying that you can really afford the payments.

They probably have you killed if you miss 2 payments in a row. But it might be worth it.

Now I'm seriously wondering:

B) Depends on whether or not you'll fall in love with it.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
07/10/2014 at 23:13

A) Too scared to email the Ferrari guy. That might lead to doing it

B) I'm sure I would. But the monthly payment and insurance payment would probably force me to sell it! Not ready for something this big, yet. Even if I sold all the cars it would be tough. It would be a lot easier next year

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
07/10/2014 at 23:17

Maybe used Speciale values will stay stable for a year, and you can just pick one up then.

He told me not buying that car and keeping it to sell it today for 4x as much is one of his greatest regrets.

He's not hurting for money though he just bought his wife a fully optioned MB GL class for $112k (put 80k down). Even crazier I just learned this week that he never even finished High School, what am I doing with my life? -_-

I'm quite envious of these kinds of situations because of how it's pounded into our heads that the only way to succeed is going to college and you've got this guy who dropped out his sophomore year of high school putting $80k down on a Mercedes for his wife.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
07/11/2014 at 14:54

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
07/11/2014 at 15:01

I know the one thing for sure that I've learned at this internship is that I should never get a family and settle down. Everyone with kids and such hate their lives and tell me to cherish mine while it still lasts. Then there's this one dude in the leasing who's in his 60s, single, and one of the most laid back awesome dudes I've ever met. And OF COURSE he drives a Jag, he's awesome.

XKR to be exact.

I want to be kind of like that guy.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
07/11/2014 at 15:06

Haha yeah most people warn me too.

But being the single guy forever isn't fun either. You might be having fun a lot of the time. But it's also pretty lame to come home from a hard day of work just to order Chinese take out.

Marriage can be very good. It all depends on whether you pick the right person or not, and whether she changes after you get married. A lot of guys complain that their wife used to be chill but changed after they got married.

What men need is a Carmax warranty for marriage.

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
07/11/2014 at 15:10

I've also heard a lot of "IT'S A TRAP" comments as well. But yeah, you're right.

Imagine wasting tens of thousands of dollars in car money on a wedding just to get screwed over because there was no wife warranty?!?

Evan, Pope Of Jalopnik by Self-Appointment > Rico
07/11/2014 at 15:13

Exactly. It's all about finding what you're good at and working your ass off to be the best at it that you can be. Also about finding opportunities and taking advantage of situations that happen to you and making the best of everything. It may involve college, it may not. I can tell you that most of the things I've learned in life did not come from sitting in college classes on the way to a four year degree...kind of an expensive realization but that's life I guess.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
07/11/2014 at 16:27

Where I live a nice warranty will cost at least $40K

And a divorce will cost me a lot more than that

It's half luck, half making a good decision

I'm not ready to actually pull the trigger on anything right now.

Or go crazy, sell a kidney , and order a 458 Speciale...
