Oh, hey.


What you see, right there, is the Ferrari LaFerrari.

A car I have talked shit about, on numerous occasions. As true as the shit I flung was, because, the quality of materials used in the car, and the batteries used to power the hybrid engine have a remarkably low life spam.

But last night I was told there was one down here, for sale. The price tag on the La Ferrari was far higher then it's actual worth. This one was privately listed at a actually decent price, "decent" in terms of Ferrari's. (Aka, not very decent.) I won't share that number with you. Maybe Jono, because I know you adore Ferrari's.

Anyway, so I followed, and went down late at night yesterday to make an offer (yes, someone was there as well as the owner, midnight deals are somewhat normal nowadays. Spontaneous.) and after about an hour I left empty handed. He wouldn't budge on prices.

This morning he countered with a somewhat manageable price. So know I'm at a cross roads. I'd much rather have an Enzo, but those are a dime a dozen, and are god damn expensive. I've actually only ever seen two in my life, and both were adamantly not for sale. Which, for the icon it is, is respectable. The only thing I hate about the LaF is the batteries. But in this one, he had the newer ones, that actually had longer life spans. It also was in Corsair Rossa (as are most LaF's) with a red interior. I quite like that combination. The aesthetic of the car is there, and so is the performance. No, I don't hold it in the same regard as the P1,  but it's still exceptional. It has very few miles on it, and was just refitted with brand new PZero's. Which is a nice bonus.

So now I'm here thinking, should I eat my words and bite. Or should I wait and see if an Enzo ever does come on the market. You really can't compare the two cars. The F40 and the Enzo, and arguably the F50 are God Tier icons in the automotive world. The LaF is just a part of the trifecta of modern hybrid hyper cars.

Decisions decisions.

Wait for the Enzo, do not go for something you will not like. Maybe a better owner will find it and give it the care you might not give with the way you feel for this model.

My only real issue with this model was the batteries and the initial price. Both of which have been effectively fixed, in this particular one.

Enzo's are expensive. Very expensive, and they appreciate like a mother fucker. So there's no telling how expensive they will be when one pops up.

I have to look at it from a perspective of what I'm getting with my money

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
God lord... it looks even worse than usual at that head-on angle.

The 488 GTB is absolutely HIDEOUS in person.

Looks nothing like the renders. The front is essentially a square with lights. It's bad. Really bad

I dunno...

It ain't pretty, but I think it's better than the laFerrari

I think the LaF is quite nice, I like aggressive and bold (hence my affection and affinity for Lamborghini)

The 488 is just, bad. It's one thing if the renders were spot on. But no, the renders were 20x better looking. The renders looked like a car worth noticing. Instead this looks like a step down from the 458

Be that I've parked in a few in the P1, and will do the same with the 918, I can imagine it hehe.
