Summer Series: F1 For the Road - The Ferrari F50

[kvg]

Next you should do a C63 sedan the "Beyond Civic" write up

[lilmira]

I suggest a corolla, Rav4 or CRV.

I would agree with your article, raj. It's definitely a dick magnet and more guys would get run over to get a pic taken with an F50 or an F40.

I'm a little bummed out this is the last of the series, but it was a good read and a nice finale. Any thoughts on a Winter Series?

From reading the article, a couple things surprised me about this car:

Look close enough, and you’ll even see the carbon fiber weave underneath the single thin layer of paint applied to the body panels to keep weight to a minimum.

It’s a lot smaller than photos portray it.

Just from looking at pictures, I always assumed it was a big giant road hog.

Along the way, I ran into a handful of Ferraris. This is where things get interesting. I was snubbed by every single Ferrari owner on the road. I’ll politely wave, and nothing. Not even eye contact.

Nice car. What's the retail on one of those? Hello? Haha

The Golf is always ready for your Winter Series.

Holy fuck.... who the hell on here owns that beast? Im aware of a few Ferrari owners on here like 483hp and the like.... but had NO idea someone owns an F50....

Nice review, although too bad you couldn't get some serious track time on it..... or at least much more spirited driving.

And why not a Fall Series...need to take advantage of one of the nicest seasons we get in Calgary!

[xnvy]

Yes, more series!!

[mrsingh]

Wow didn't know there was an F50 owned by a member that is sweet!

Great article as usual, enjoyed the read.

[483hp]

Pretty balanced article for someone who hates Ferraris. Well done.

[g-m]

Amazing car, I'd sure like to see one in person nevermind drive one

[nismodrifter]

Stunning. Was great to see one in person at the Euro Classic Car Show @ Stanley Park...and that too without any barriers around the vehicle.

Look forward to more of these features.

Great write up. Sad to hear (but not surprised) about the reaction from other Ferrari owners.

[rage2]

It's funny, because all of my friends that owns or owned Ferraris don't have that snobby attitude. They're real car guys that appreciate the cars for what it is, and not as a status symbol. They all know how I feel about Ferrari, and we make fun of each other about it whenever there's a chance. I guess I don't have any true douchebag friends, even though we call ourselves douchebags.

Mibz might have a different opinion about that last sentence haha.

i 2nd the motion for a winter series!!!

I agree..I purposely will go out of my way to not look at them. Too many attention whores thinking they are the king shit in their 360.

Rage you need to have your own YT channel for this - revenue would be awesome.

You could become a local Chris Harris.

Eh, at the end of the day it is just another vehicle on four wheels doing 30 through a school zone. I'm more impressed by experiences than the trinkets one cannot take to the grave. Show me the man who built the engine, hammered the front panel, put pencil to paper, he is the true master. This is chequebook petty status seeking, nothing more.

The article was well done though, as was the photography. The car, would not give it a second look, the owner's second wife I just might.
