Nice day at work today

Today was a decent day. I show up to work at 8 a.m. and see this in the garage:



He asked us to put the boxes from his tv's in his attic which is in the garage, so he backed it out. It sounded incredibly nice. He let us sit in it and take some pictures of it. He just got it. It's a 2002 with 3500 miles on it. It was sweet.



the stitching here was beautiful








and of course one with me sitting in it:


The car was actually pretty difficult to get in and out of because of the large seat bolsters, especially the ones for the legs. I wish I had my good camera with me. I only had my crappy 2 megapixel one. Oh well.

Today I got to see another nice car. This thing was mint, and it was beautiful. It's a 2003 with a whopping 4,000 miles on it:



This guy was so pimp that he had a jacuzzi in the middle of his floor. This is not a bathroom, it is a sitting room that overlooks the living room (kinda like a balcony)

I don't know if it's the car...you look like you were a little too big for it.

The Ferrari? It was a tight fit. The car has very large side bolsters on it's seat and the whole cabin is built to keep you IN the car at high speeds. It definitely felt like a true sports car.

I would say that's the case.....

A buddy of mine has a GF whose sister is married to someone who is ridiculously wealthy.

For this Friday he invited me tonight and another friend to their Hamptons estate (not house) on the ocean (near Seinfeld's pad) . The owners will be gone for the weekend. Anyway, my buddy is going out there because he's going to be taking their new Bentley CFS back to the owners city residence.

Their full time chef will be coming by to cook dinner Friday night for everyone.

They have a live in maid.

He also just bought a G4.

Pretty sweet.

I'm suprised you don't run into cars like this more though considering where are and what you do. Or are you just not posting about the rest?

He forgot to mention the day laborers who clean the bathrooms (all 12) with toothbrushes, to ensure no spot is missed.

It's "AT" probably shifts faster than a traditional manual.

Exactally what I was thinking when I saw that. I do not care what the specs are on how much faster the shifting is, who buys an automatic Ferrari?

Although I am not a fan of the paddle shifters, it is considered a manual. I would prefer a clutch and regualr shifter, but a lot of people get the ferarris with the paddle shifters now.

To me any car without a clutch is an automatic. I dont care....if you are true car fan and have both your legs you should drive a true manual.

Right, so you wouldn't take that car for a spin. With that "automatic" it would be the fastest car that you have ever driven.

So F1 drivers have auto trannys. Because it they dont use a clutch pedel?


Only automatic system like that is the DSG system.


SMG, F1, E-gear, etc, etc are all manuel tranny's. Live with it.

Why don't both of you shut the hell up. It would be nice to start a thread here for a change without it getting shitted up with a tards. Seriously, whats the point of arguing of some fucking paddles.
