My loaner car from my Acura dealership!!!!

I ran over to Jay Wolfe Acura in Kansas City over the lunch hour and this is the ride they wanted to give me for a loaner car....






So when I asked them for the keys, I learned that this is the owner's "toy"....

I got excited for just a brief moment, but I couldn't think of any reason I needed a loaner car!

I'd never in my life ever considered committing the act of grand theft auto but a "loaner" such as that (one Ferrari F430) would result in an exception.

Jay Wolfe Acura is in Missouri (just barely!). I bought my 1999 TL there. Great dealership (at least it was back then).

Reasons why I don't like chrome wheels on a Ferrari- it looks tacky. It adds weight, chrome will usually pit, chip or flake off.

We're from a different generation man. I can still recall when chrome hammer wheels were the piece de resistance of any MB or BMW. (Circa mid-late 80s, a la Miami Vice-style -- as in Don Johnson/Phillip Michael Thomas NOT Colin Farrell/Jamie Foxx)

Actually, I'm not necessarily a fan of the chrome wheels. I just find it ironic that EVERYBODY says they don't like them.

Wow looks great! The chrome wheels don't necessarily look bad, I'd just prefer silver.

Yes Paz-he's the one! He has the NSX with about $65,000 worth of upgrades. I think they told me that he has every Comptech addition made for the NSX. It will be at the meet again this year on June 6th.

Paz, did I see you were not coming to the meet this year? If so, we'll REALLY miss you brother!

I probably wouldn't take it either lol.
I don't feel comfortable driving a friend's car let alone a stranger's Ferrari.

I wouldn't mind the owner to drive me home though lol.

Well, I would have been long gone with that thing

Really, chrome or not, I would kick it out of bed. More room on the floor.

Unfortunately, my wife's HS reunion is the same weekend as the meet and I lost the fight.
