Default So I was at the mall...

Looking for a suit for my sisters wedding, and when I got out to start looking around some shops, I noticed alot of Ferraris were here. I poked around and drooled my eyes out. But nothing really caught my eye until I saw this -





I always thought the Veyron was a HUGE super coupe like a 6 series BMW. Fortunately thats not the case, its really small despite having that w16 with 4 turbos. Its lower than a F430 and from a glance, no longer than a F430.

And this Maserati (I forgot its name ) -


And then these Ferrari 599 Fioranos(?). I thought these havent gone on sale yet, atleast until next year.



I MUST APOLOGIZE FOR THE SHAMEFUL PICTURES. This show was just at its end and all I had was my smartphone with its light settings to something all blueish filter. I didnt know it had this setting so I went on taking the pics.

The mall I was at was in Manhasset, Nassau County New York, or the really really rich area. Its along Northern Boulevard if NYers here know what im talking about.

How would you quantify the drool? 10mL? 50mL? 1 Liter?

Hmm well, the gathering had... Ferraris 550 Maranello, F360s F430s, 1 ENZO, 250 Europa GT, and one of those OLLLLLLLLD Ferraris used in the races back then (1930s?). A Fiat 500, smallest car i've seen in ages, smaller than the original Mini. Rolls Royce Phantoms, I counted about 5 of them. Mercedes SLR 722 edition. Maserati Gran Sport Coupe, Quatraportes, and the Grand Turismo Coupe. ALOT of Bently Continental GTs. And a few other luxury cars.

So I think I dehydrated whilst looking at cars worth more than my house, especially that Veyron lol.
