Can't wait until one of your friends gets the Aperta so you can drive it and give us an Oppo review

Kinja'd!!!

Watched it earlier today, I love how they go through the car's history.

I refuse to watch it. It might make me want it too much. I have to keep letting myself believe that the F430 is the best Dino ever

Actually this video made me look up 355s for sale more than anything.

Go back even farther. 348 Spider.

You should get one. Cheap.

I need to have a Hellcat's-worth wad of cash to buy and maintain that.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
10/06/2014 at 21:26

No way! It's like $35K. I bet you could average no more than $4K a year in maintenance. It would take a while to cost more than a Hellcat!

But remember, I'd track/AutoX the shit out of it. Ferraris are fragile!

No they're not! It's all a lie spread by Porsche!!!

I was actually behind a 458 Spider on my drive home tonight, which is really weird because you NEVER see a Ferrari around here. What I couldn't understand was why he had the top up. It was a gorgeous day and perfect top down weather.

I GUESS YOU'LL FIND OUT WON'T YOU

Ferrari's gotten reeeeal lazy with the naming lately. Before we had 'F430 Scuderia' which sounds sexy and exciting. And now we get...FF. Hey, four seats, four wheel drive! FF! Ehh?! Ehh?!

Also, we've made a better version of the 458 italia (which also sounds sexy and exciting) so we're gonna call it...the 458 Special e ! See? Pronounced 'Speciale', like you've been practicing a crappy italian accent so you can impress that barista who's into mediterranean guys. Speciale! Ehh!? Ehhh!

I guess the italia's replacement special edition car will be called 'Ferrari 482 ItsFasterNow'

Haha it's been both lazy and weird. LaFerrari? WTF? That's more lazy than weird. It took more effort to think about something that odd than it did to think about something else. Italians don't even use "La", do they? Sounds like a mix of French and Italian.

Interesting. Maybe he was enjoying his music.

CAcoalminer > Brian Silvestro
10/06/2014 at 21:34

I liked that as well. It was great seeing all of its predecessors.

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari

Kinja'd!!!

lone_liberal > CAcoalminer

I was enjoying his music. The tune from his exhaust was better than anything coming from his sound system could have possibly been.

CAcoalminer > lone_liberal
10/06/2014 at 21:36

Haha. I can imagine.

Maybe Nysschen will take over Ferrari once he is done ruining rescuing caddy. Then they can all just be called 'Ferrari'. Each car will have a badge that is a picture of a pallet of money, that will increase as the car's price goes up. Yeah. Let's do it "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince" style.

Unfortunately, neither of them decided to purchase it. Jerry, the one seriously considering it, felt that it just wasn't unique enough.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
10/06/2014 at 21:44

It's true!

Manuél Ferrari > PS9
10/06/2014 at 21:46

LOL. This is how he would name each car:

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari

PLS WRITE POST

Manuél Ferrari > CAcoalminer
10/06/2014 at 21:47

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

;(

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
10/06/2014 at 21:47

ok ok, i'll write the post about my dad's car SOON

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
10/06/2014 at 21:51

Wait...why?! Did he get a new car?! Sell one of his old cars??

PS9 > CAcoalminer
10/06/2014 at 21:51

You should tell Jerry that there is more at stake here than he realizes. How can the rest of us live out our dreams vicariously through him if he makes decisions like that??

PS9 > Manuél Ferrari

"Sir...have you ever seen a keyboard?"

"Of course I have! Where do you think I got the idea??"

* leaves to dump all of his Fiat stock*

CAcoalminer > Manuél Ferrari

I know but it wasn't that surprising to me. He loves his 16M and feels like the 458 is ugly (he refers to it as "the smiling catfish").

CAcoalminer > PS9
10/06/2014 at 21:54

Haha. I'll have to let him know.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
10/06/2014 at 21:57

No it's the same F430. I dunno why you're so excited. Nothing to see here. No new news. All old stuff. All F1 transmissions. My avatar is just to show what I dream about.

Manuél Ferrari > CAcoalminer
10/06/2014 at 21:58

LOL. Why do so many new cars look like fish?

CAcoalminer > Manuél Ferrari
10/06/2014 at 22:05

I don't know.

I would rather they look like a jungle cat.

Kinja'd!!!

Manuél Ferrari > CAcoalminer
10/06/2014 at 22:17

This kind of cat?

Kinja'd!!!

CAcoalminer > Manuél Ferrari
10/06/2014 at 22:18

Exactly!

Did I ever show you Jerry's black 16M?

Kinja'd!!!

Manuél Ferrari > CAcoalminer
10/06/2014 at 22:20

Yes. Sooooooooo nice. Man that looks so much better than a standard black car with no stripe.

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
10/06/2014 at 22:28

OK I GET IT, JUST WRITE ABOUT YOUR DAD'S FERRARI NAOW

CAcoalminer > Manuél Ferrari
10/06/2014 at 22:28

I thought so, as I usually never have friends' vehicles on my computer. Haha

Leadbull > Manuél Ferrari
10/06/2014 at 22:35

But seriously, that avatar.

Manuél Ferrari > CAcoalminer
10/07/2014 at 00:38

seriously nice!

Manuél Ferrari > Leadbull
10/07/2014 at 00:39

It took some extra Google searching to find that one. It's from a 550

Leadbull > Manuél Ferrari
10/07/2014 at 01:03

I would DD a 550 so hard.

Manuél Ferrari > Leadbull
10/07/2014 at 01:03

You need to graduate and get a job ASAP. 550 prices don't seem to have risen, YET

Leadbull > Manuél Ferrari

1.75 YEARS.

But, uh, new development. I might be considering law school. And by considering, I might mean seeking out guidance from a law department admissions wizard. Nothing too serious yet, but I'm definitely floating the idea.

Manuél Ferrari > Leadbull
10/07/2014 at 01:14

ARGHHHHHH. That shit takes forever! My sister is an attorney. She's still paying back debt. And still not making much money. Even though she spent her whole 20s in school and taking the bar

It's hard to find profit in a Geography degree. No matter how interesting I find the subject... I would like money and job security.

Also, I've been looking into the history of Law and whatnot recently, and I'm very interested in it. I guess I've always been blinded by my preconceptions about the subject (old guys in stuffy suits arguing with people in a court room). But the administrative side of things really interests me, plus it can obviously apply to cars and geography.

Plus, a J.D. only takes three years. I don't plan on spending my entire twenties in law school, and I'd rather use the degree in the field than actually practice law with it and go through that whole process, although that's an option I guess. I had no idea about the range of options that J.D.s have until a month or two ago, when I started looking into this.

About the money... that'll be the deal breaker. I did a free practice LSAT and did more ok than I thought I would. I think I could get a pretty decent score if I set my mind to it and study like crap this coming year. A good score, combined with a good GPA from my well ranked university (I'm on track to graduate w/ honors from my department), could hopefully get me some scholarship opportunities at schools that aren't, uh, like Ivy League or something.

But this may be overly optimistic. Which is why I plan on talking to people who actually know things about it.
