My ride in a Ferrari F430 Scuderia 16M

A few weeks ago, my girlfriend told me that one of her clients had mentioned something about cars to his son (who was with him), and she had also mentioned to him that I really liked cars. The guy told her to tell me that he had a Scuderia, and that I'd know what it was. Sure enough, I got excited, but what was I to do, I was at home and I'm not going to drive to her work to maybe catch the guy while he's there.

Earlier today, I wanted to go out to eat, so I figured I'd bring the girl food also. I stopped by her work, and she took her lunch break with me. On my way out, she called me, saying that her client with the Scuderia was there, and that she told him that I had just left. She mentioned that he was in one of the underground parking lots and to head there immediately, since he was on his way down. Thankfully, I happened to find his car very easily. Here it is:







He was kind enough to open it up and let me sit in it and look around, too.







In the above picture, apparently there is an iPhone dock that fits it perfectly, so the real ballers out there won't have Blackberries. Thankfully, I have my iPhone, so all I need now is the 'rari. While already kind enough to let me sit in it, he offered a ride... obviously I accepted (though it had a Recaro baby seat in the from passenger seat, which we stashed in my car).

I had test driven a Nissan 370Z last week and was going to talk about it, but it's been dwarfed by riding shotgun in this bad boy. Needless to say, my day has gone pretty well.

Correct. Ironically, there was a Ferrari California parked a few spots away, but I didn't really care much for that one haha.

Fred Flinstone also had four Ferraris prior to this one and is also at the top of the waiting list for the upcoming Ferrari 458.

I thoght it was a PSP at first also, but OP says it's an Ipod/iphone dock and I can see it clearly.
Awesome car, I have a Hi-def pic of the dash as a wallpaper you're lucky to be able to ride in one.
