Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Hmm

[George (ygpz4re]

Not the first dealership this has happened to....  Though it might be the first Enzo.

I know of at least one light metallic blue 360 Modena taken for a test drive by a dealership technician.  When the dust finally settled, the car was yellow and sold to someone on the "wait list" for an F430 (with full disclosure - "Oh, you'd like an F430?  Well, we can certainly put your name on the list - but you must first help us out by taking this wrecked and rebuilt pig off of our hands!").

Rumor had it at the time that, in the passenger seat was a, shall we say, "not unattractive" blond who also worked for said dealership.  The claim was that a deer jumped out in front of them (yeah, middle of the day in an urban area - I'd buy that story...) causing the crash.  They were unhurt, but also did not work for said dealership for very much longer.  Go figure.

Regarding people who can afford an Enzo - I know at least one who is *VERY* capable of driving the thing.  His car was pictured on the FCA facebook page following the recent National event at Summit Point.  At the event, he was driving his 430CH.  Nice guy, excellent driver.  So that's one.......

You?re discounting the possibility that Mr. Fux turned the car in for service because every time he tried to accelerate down an on-ramp, the car went sideways and slammed into a wall. Perhaps the techs were just trying to recreate the problem to make a diagnosis.
