    Interesting sight

    I dropped off my friend today to pick up his car after service at Ferrari of Houston and see what I saw. Good thing I had my good camera in the car. This Gent stopped by with his CGT to inspect his F430 that came in couple days ago. This was my first F430 in person and it truely looks amazing in person.

    Anyway, thought to share these few pics that I took, thank you Canon .

    Re: Interesting sight

    Just out of curiosity: Who would buy an F430 after owning a CGT?
    I mean why would you want a great sportscar when you already have the arguably "best"? ...would it simply be because you collect cars?

    I doubt anyone will request that it be moved. Looks like a gunmetal 430. Very nice pics!

    Ah! Missed that one. Sounds like a waste of money (and car) unless she's some Vicky Butler-Henderson type of woman.
    If your wife wants more than an SLK she'd better be crazy about cars...something like Ente, I guess

    Re: Interesting sight

    I love how he non-chalantly takes two spaces to park his CGT. If I had one, I'd try to splooge the max, maybe even 4 spots.
