Ugh, Christian Lassen . . . He's done more too (a couple Diablos, a Viper, a Harley, etc.)

I've actually seen this 348. While it sure is not my cup of tea, he is a talented artist.

It's a 348. No paint job can make it any worse than it already was. In fact the car itself probably detracts from the art work.

Ferrari has always been one of my favourite manufacturers, but the 348 makes me shudder. I recall when Montezemolo was appointed head of Ferrari and he purchased a 348. In a short time he called it the worst car ever to be produced by the company.

That POS 348 is still worth more than my '09 TL, and there is no excuse for putting a dolphin fish on the hood of anything.

I remember seeing grills that were nothing than molded plastic, shaped to look as if they were vented, but instead blocked by solid plastic underneath. The first time I drove one wasn't a pleasant experience either. The car had definitely lost it's magic, and many say the company had lost it's magic as well. It was Montezemolo that got it back for Ferrari.

In complete honesty, I'd rather drive your '09 TL.

I've seen the Diablo and a few other exotics that he has painted in his Vegas gallery that is in the Forum shops. He does amazing paintings, they just have no business being on a car.

I agree, but still. Doing something like this to the car should be automatic title revocation

Ha that is funny. All they are missing is a bunch of stars and a wolf howling at the moon like on the back of RVs.

If you click the link you will find that it has the stars and some planets on the back but it is lacking the howling wolf
