Talking Finally, a Ferrari we can all afford!





Limited Edition Ferrari Segway PT i2

Segway have teamed up with Ferrari to release a special limited edition version of their i2 Personal Transporter. Ferrari have used Segway’s as a transportation method around their Maranello factory for sometime now, the Segway PT i2 Ferrari Limited Edition comes in Ferrari’s signature color, red and features the Scuderia Ferrari logo at the base. It has a range of almost forty kilometers off one battery charge and can be easily stowed in the trunk of a car for longer journeys. It comes with a handlebar bag made of leather.

Maybe I should have said "afford to drive to work... maybe"

I often see rich old timers roll on these along Park Ave and 5th Ave. About a month ago i saw a guy in a suit on a Vespa and an older gentleman on his Segway what seemed to drag race from a red light on Park. That was a Kodak moment in itself.

My co worker rides a Segway to work everyday. Well, at least when it is not raining. Pretty cool machine. His was the standard one and it still cost just over $5K though.

Speaking of Mall Security. I believe our local Police actually now has a Segway detail Better to ride on that than to walk the streets. They also use these things for emergency response by EMS or Police in Parades or other times when there are large crowed.

There was some fancy "back pain" store I went to a few months ago that had a selection of very nice and very expensive chairs. One of them was a bright red Ferrari chair. It wasn't an actual seat out of a Ferrari car - more like a comfortable office chair with a bright red paint job.

Only problem was it wasn't that comfortable, it was built extremely poorly (squeaked, groaned, and seemed loose... WAY more than the average cheap chair I've sat in) - and it cost $4,500!!!
