So a car showed up at Dallas Cars and Coffee today, a few people looked at it.

Ya, you don't want to know how long it took me to get where I'm standing. Or how many people were to my left, right and behind me.

Don't be surprised if this is the one of the few shots I got of this not so popular car.

I'll post the pictures later this week. But between school and work it'll take me a little bit to edit these.

I don't even know what it is. Man, I wish I could have a crowd of people staring at me and my accomplishments that turn into money and expensive ass cars in awe, must be wunderbar...

Was Kate Upton in the car naked?! That's a hell of a group for that car.

P1?

I wouldn't actually. I don't mind having people come up and talking about my car but that kind of crowd with a car like that? I wouldn't be able to handle it. I would be so paranoid and I would never leave the car and not enjoy the rest of the show. It was a LaFerrari.

I wish!

LaFerrari. I remember the Veyron having quite a crowd but this is a whole other level.

Damn, can't be more than a dozen TheFerraris in North America so far. Can't blame the crowds for wanting a peek.

I literately only got a peak. I finally got to the rear and decided I wasn't about to fight the crowds to see the front.

But what I saw was quite amazing.

Well I've never had anyone come up and talk to me about any of my cars before, I don't know what it's like, but I would like to have it happen at least once in my life. At least have someone come up to my car(s) like that. Then again, I drive boring things so that won't happen any time soon.

I also firmly believe that particular car(or any new Ferrari or Lambo) is an absolute waste of money, so I'd probably still be walking around looking at every other car first before looking at that "future garage queen". What color was it anyways?

Yellow LaFerrari. The 458's were empty when this showed up!

You drive two Porsches (You know, kind of a prestigious German automaker!) and a Focus ST. Those cars are enthusiast favorites, when people come up and talk to you they will know and love the car, they'll show legitimate interest in it and truly want to talk. In my opinion, that's much better then having someone liking a car just because it's fast. If you've ever read Doug Demuro's stuff you'd understand.

And it's not a waste of money if you drive it! No garage queen for me. And it was yellow.

It took me a few minutes to even see the car! No shame in not figuring it out, there's so many people it's hard to see.

I believe it. I got to see a 918 that was on display at a local Porsche dealer, just roped off on the showroom floor next to a couple 991s. It's the most pedestrian looking and my least favorite of the three... But it was pretty damn incredible up close.

My friend and I stood around and stared at it from every angle for literally more than an hour. We also explained what it was to a couple of customers haha

I live in the center of Detroit muscle, motor city, the big 3, the dream cruise. Until I go to a PCA or Euro car meet, not one person aside from my friends could give a rats ass about the two Porsches in the garage.

The ST is even worse, it's becoming the new Cobalt SS and Neon SRT-4 here, I do not want to be a part of that crowd. Another reason I want the ST gone for something more mature and a step up from a hot hatch. No one cares about these STs up here either. I read and watched Doug's stuff, I know the potential repercussions, but they haven't swayed me at all. Even S550 owners on the forum got a taste of that, and it's a Mustang, something that would have never happened with the previous cars unless they were special editions or Shelbys.

I don't get cars for attention they bring or as status symbols, but it would still be nice to have a car that people would take pictures of, talk about, share with others, even get some serious attention at least once. I guess it would just make me feel like I exist at car shows, and people would appreciate my or my car's presence or being there, Ya know?

There was a 918 there actually. Got a huge amount of attention also! But because I spotted it pulling in I got up close. Also pretty awesome to see in person.

The guy would never leave his car anyways. He wants to be seen in it. It gives him a sense of vindication.

got delivered at Ferrari of Houston last Friday. I know the owner :] He also owns a yellow P1 and 918 among many other yello exotics both here in Houston and Mexico DF

people bring cars to those things? Weird

Does it really matter though? Look at the kind of reputation the Mustang has. They are arguably much worse then the Neon or Cobalt groups. It's silly to not want your car just because someone else did something with theirs. If I thought that way I would be in.... Well something completely anonymous!

Which is why I think he came in so late. And I don't think he ever did leave it.

Woah, that's cool! Quite a collection he has. I hope he comes back up here to Dallas. Do you know if he was here for a one time thing or is the car here?

I know right? I never would have thought.

Well I kinda figured the S550 would be different and maybe stray away from the traditional image? Here at least, Diesels, Cobalts and Neons, FoSTs, Mustang, that's the unpopularity/hate scale here from top to bottom. Like it's not even bad for Mustangs here from my experience.

It's not that I don't want it because of what other's have done with theirs, I'm also sick of FWD and just having 4-bangers in general no matter how powerful it is. The sound is not satisfying as it used to be, the honeymoon has ended, and it's just not as good as it was at the start.

He has a home in The Woodlands where some cars are stored. There is a chance it could be another yellow LaFerrari though lol.

According to the things I saw on my Facebook, this is a different one that was delivered to Boardwalk Ferrari (in Dallas) a couple weeks back. :P

Yellow must be a popular color for Texas LaFerrari owners haha

Well, arguably with the new styling and Ecoboost you're bringing more of the tuner group in. I've already seen some pretty bad stuff. Would that make me change my opinion of the S550? Not at all. I love it.

I guess all I can say is work hard and you might just find yourself in a position to trade up. It might take awhile but trust me, it'll be worth it. I waited years to get my car. It was hard being that my friends had theirs for so long, but as I said, paid off in the end.

Well, I can't imagine there are to many yellow LaFerrari's out there! So who knows. Either way, I saw one and I'm happy!

Oh no, I'm still not convinced in that 4-banger at all, especially if like the 2.0L I already have, if it was the 2.7L V6, then they would have had my interest; perhaps by the potential refresh circa 2018-19, but I expect to have something by then or maybe even before.

Although I have to ask, what bad stuff have you seen already? I'm genuinely curious.

Of course I still like the S550, nothing's gonna change that at all.

I've actually already seen two donked out S550's. But I've seen a few that kind of borderline ricer territory. I keep thinking of one ecoboost that was very distastefully modded. Of course taste depends on the person, but I didn't like it!

On the plus side, for every bad one there's a good one. There was a wrapped 5.0 that pulled in to Cars and Coffee today and oh boy.... I kind of fell in love! It was a bluish color. Actually something like what I created in Forza. It was so well done to. I'll have pictures of that this week.

Oooh ok. I saw the one at Ferrari of Houston last Friday awaiting delivery. This guys owns about 30 Ferrari, all yellow including the P1, 918, and other exotics here and in Mexico DF. Odd that TX has 2 yellow LaFerraris indeed lol.

Yup! It was an awesome show.

But the last time I slept in I missed a P1. So I feel your pain.

wow, I'm not sure what's more surprising, the fact that he has 30 Ferraris + the other 2 hybrid hypercars, or that he has an all yellow garage lol
