Default Ferrari 575 .. say GOOD BYE

was driving today hopped on the highway, saw a ferrari behind me while coming onto the highway ... did my thing casually.

then i saw this


... ZOOOOOOOM.

and i realized what it was and my jaw went STRAIGHT to the floor.

i tried to catch up and when i finally was starting to get close ... he turned off the hwy. ... i wouldn't followed but had to be somewheres important.

I would have lost me license trying to race that dude. Good thing for me I didn't catch up.

All i can say is wow. Ferrari's rule.

He's not trying to say that he took that picture.....jeez.

All he is doing is providing the photo so that people know exactly which model he was talking about. If he had only said "I saw a Ferrari '575' today" would you have known exactly which one he was talking about? I doubt it, hence the photo.

why are you going to lock the threat?

it doesn't violate rules. there is no mention of street racing. it involves a c5 (mine ... so mah.)

there is no valid reason to lock it.

You may have a C5 but the Topic is about a Ferrari, justification for a Move to "Other Cars Section." You should have titled it something like "My C5 and a Ferrari"
