^^^he actually changed his mind, since he couldn't figure out the whole driveway thing he ended up putting a down payment on one of Nasa's retired space shuttles instead.

I'm glad everyone enjoyed the pictures! My girlfriend and I were there for almost an hour and a half talking with the owner and drooling over the car.

No, we pushed it in and out of the garage to take the pictures

Yes, it sounds incredible. Even Mitzi was like DAMN

Car looks beautiful, lucky man. What does he do for a living?

Also, with all the add-ons, did he reveal how much it costs?
I thought I would join the bandwagon for the thread title

I told the owner that I wouldn't post any personal information about him or his location. He sells stuff, LEGAL STUFF. That's all I can say

From what I've found online:
MSRP: $252,000
CF Package: $12k
Silver Brake Calipers: $1300
20" Sport Diamond Cut Wheels: $7300
CF Rear Sill Cover (between tail lights) $7900
CF Rear Diffuser: $8100
Full Electric Seats: $6300
Reverse Camera: $3500

Those are the options I remember seeing or speaking about with the owner. i'm sure there are other options I didn't remember but I'll let you do the math Remember it's a 2013 and it's the 6th in the state so I'm sure a premium was paid to have it so early.

Kit car

And thanks J. I actually wasn't trying to get any fancy shots, it just so happened that the weather was overcast and I didn't get any glare at all.

Yes sir.



In other news, I asked the owner if I could go for a ride sometime and record it with my camera and he said sure

I'll try to make arrangements with him next time I'm home from school but that's about 2 weeks away.

Isn't roadster and spider the same thing?

No, a roadster is a convertible.

A spider is something that rapes Jefford in his sleep.

I would never spend more than $210K on a car, so this one is out of my price range.

You're making this difficult

2012 458 Italia (no options) MSRP: $229,825
2012 458 Spider (no options) MSRP: $257,000

There are no trim levels or any of that. You start with a Italia or Spider and the add options from there.

Oh hush Tim, you're driving a twin-turbocharged car and had a V10 before that

The owner sent me two pictures of the R8 he had for a little while. He said it was a pretty rare color combo:

He sent me pictures of the other cars he's owned within the last 4 years



Two 612s I guess









And the best for last...





He also had a 430 Scuderia and a 458 Italia but couldn't find any pictures.

Mannnn...fk that guy and all his cars.

Just kidding, nice to be wealthy...I've long ago been told that commercial real estate is where the moolah is AT! It's hit or miss, but when they make a major sale, it's pretty serious shit.

damn i i knew i went into the wrong major...

holleeeeey shit, i swear if someone owns an exotic its very likely that he has a few or has had some in the past. Either you own 0 or 10.

Dude i'm guessing he is buy your school?? Why not just ask to live in the car? that way you get to at least touch it

I shouldnt say this, but when i'm at cars and coffee and an owner of a ferrari or pretty much any exotic has his windows down or had the top down, i quietly touch the soft smooth orgasmic leather lol

and seriously $6900 for power seats? You can buy a nice used car for that price! Does it have like 100 different adjustments or something? And $3500 for the back up camera?? It better be in 3D!

The 458 is an impressive car, but I'm more jealous of the teenage descendants of oil sheikhs that own all of those cars at any given time.... not fair, man.

My only regret is that I wasn't born the son of an oil tycoon
