Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferrari Backed over

[Michael James (cavallino_rapante]

It's funny how the 'critics' all panned the F-50, but one just set a record-price at auction for $1.5MIL a few months back.  Let's see - stick-shift, check.  Mid-engine Formula 1 V-12, check.  Removable roof, check.  Two seats and nuthin' else - check.  REAL Pininfarina styling - check.  Bad-azz noise in the back, check.  RARE - check.....hangs with the F-40 on the track - check.  Of course the critics panned it - it wasn't a BMW 3 series.

 

Child safety seat?  Uh - HELL no.  I doubt little kids would tolerate the noise, the heavy acceleration, the hard braking, rough ride, etc.  Might as well put a child safety seat in a Lotus 7.  Yea, that will work-out well....

The Ferrari F50 devotes several pages to how to correctly fasten a child seat to the passenger seat.

 

Never can tell when mama may want to use the car to get a quart of milk.

But you don't understand......there are buyers (whom Ferrari is courting) who WANT these 4-seat, all-wheel-drive, Italian-Mercedes hatchbacks.  People WANT to haul their children, the dog, skiis, beach chairs, coolers, etc. in their $300K+ Ferrari during a Nor'Easter snowstorm in the Poconos.....because they want to.  So, naturally, Ferrari had to build "them" a car.....and here we are.

That is a shocking photo.  It must have been a heart attack for the "professional" (where&apos;s reverse on this thing?) driver.

I think everyone has the same reaction though:  lucky break for the owner to have an easy out of the FFugly, just write it off to insurance and you&apos;re free and clear to go get an Aston Rapide or just get a Range Rover if you want four-up motoring in a prestige land yacht weighing a couple of tons.
