They're supposed to be coming stateside sometime next year, according to the dealer rep. here. I'm actually a little interested in seeing how the Abarth drives.

I can't believe I've missed out on this for so long. Here's my pics, not driving though. These are all at my work. Help me fill the blanks.

Aston Martin _________?


Porsche ________? All it says is "Turbo" on the rear.


And the CEO's Ferrari California. Having stocks can be a good thing.

i hate being wrong. my knowledge of aston martin's is fairly poor so i should've just kept quiet

as for aston martin in general...One-77 FTW! (disregard the $1.8M sticker price...ha)

When the CEO got the California, he had to leave his SLK 500 at the office b/c his downtown condo didnt have enough parking spaces. It must be terrible to have to deal with such difficult dilemmas.

^^sounds like my buddy who picked up an F430 recently and didnt have any more spaces in his 4 car garage...boo hoo...

anyway, his resolution was to build on an addition to his garage and have it be a closed bay with heating and a/c for his new baby...oh yeah, and had a massive ferrari symbol painted on the floor and added a vehicle lift in there for any additional toys he might get.

some people got it so rough...

I would've had to play bumper cars with his S65 to get it out...but I certainly would've given it my best effort

that would've been one expensive game of bumper cars btw...at a min those two cars exceed half a million (brand new)....

Yeah no kidding. His condo was gorgeous too. Somewhat surprising that he rents the thing out since he's clearly not hurting for money...although I guess more money never hurts.

The question I wanted to ask him is what the hell is he sporting back home...a Pagani or something...

They looked much better in person. The photo quality doesn't help at all.
