I went home from college last night and myself and a couple of buddies went to the bar. I was in my fathers 91 500SL and my friends had their explorer. So we are on the PA Turnpike going about 90mph when I come up on the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen before, a black Ferrari 360 Modena. So I pulled up beside him, looked his car over, that took about 20seconds, the guy who was thirty something looked over and smiled at me. So what did I do, I punched it,,,,and amazingly so did he! Now I'll tell you what, the 500SL is a fast car, but I was on it hard proceeding past 120mph and that guy left me like I was standing still, what a thrill,,,, what a car!

I would say that is an honor that he even bothered with you. Something to tell the grandkids about!!! Why is it that only civic rice eaters want to race me???

Damn, when i read stuff like this i go on my bed and daydream for hours.!

Was it here that i read that Ferrari service at 15k is 1500 dollars?

I definitely can relate to this story. I was driving from S.F. on 280 to San Jose in my CL and I saw a silver car in the distance that I couldn't quite place. Closer and closer I got I saw that it was the Modena, and I was actually almost crying to see such a beautiful car, perfect silver, just cruising in the sunset. I was awestruck because it looks so incredible up close and moving vs. a still magazine picture. Needless to say, I had to give the driver (a thirty-maybe-forty something dude) a huge thumbs up. I didn't even *want* to race him even though he'd blow me away easily, I had way way too much respect for it.

On another note, back when I was reckless and had less speeding tickets, I did race a 308 on the highway with the 540, but he backed off at 120, gee I wonder why? :-)

Had some friends when I was growing up that had a ton of killer cars. Two of the many cars were Ferraris:

One was a Daytona with all of the smog stuff removed. Got a ride in that thing up Benedict Canyon, and that thing passed 10 cars like they were stopped. I could barely get my hand off the seat rest.

The other car was a 246 Dino, and this thing would go around 20 mph hairpins at 45 mph without making a peep.

So, these were older cars...

Sure, they were older cars, but they are so hard to find now a days. Those cars are two of my personal favorites, and I am very jealous that you got to drive them. Any more stories,,, let me know.
