Default Ferrari Drive By!

I was driving through Chicago Saturday when some guy rolled up in a Ferriri next to me. I nodded at me, and I nodded at him and continued to drive (It was rather congested) At one point we passed under a bridge. I gave him a nice rev (I have magnaflows--I like the sound) and he reved back at me, I almost Shat my pants. Those cars are sure spensive, but they sure sound good

No pics, no telling of what model. This story blows.

When a guy in a Vette revs at a FUR-RAH-REE it's like a dude in an s-10 reving at a SRT.

You have to love how fast those exotics rev with everything so light internally. I heard a Ferrari Enzo out at a show in Celebration, FL rev as we passed and I think I had a semi

Wow, I leave for an evening, and all of this! It was a 360 modena...sorry--The camera had slid to the back of the hatch during some "competitive" driving, so I coudn't reach it. Yes, I like to nod at myself. Sometimes I nod back...
