I saw a Ferrari F430 yesterday

I saw a Ferrari F430 on the street here in Melbourne yesterday. I nearly killed myself for not carrying a camera. The one I saw was a solid black color which looks INFINITELY cooler than the red one you see in the images above and below.

It’s surprising to me that this car has been out for at least 2 solid years and this is the first time I’ve ever seen this car in person. The Ferrari’s that I do normally see driven in NYC aren’t half as cool-looking as this F430. The pictures don’t do this car justice. Seeing it in real life is a whole other sensation.

My goodness, this car is a beast. Seeing it on the streets here made it seem like the widest thing on the road. It was parked on the street (WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING?!) so I got a chance to walk around it and just look inside. It is friggin’ spectacular! The rear of the F430 just wants to eat you alive. I don’t even know what else to say except that this car is so much better when seen in person. Just wow!

More photos of the Ferrari F430 here.

By the way, the reason why I don’t link to any official website for Ferrari is because of all the website’s I’ve ever been to, Ferrari’s is just about the worst. I can’t seem to get anywhere and the page doesn’t load or render properly in Firefox or IE (WTF?). This company may be great at producing exotic cars, but when it comes to having them put up a proper and functioning website, man, that’s a whole different story. You’re better off just googling “Ferrari F430″ yourself.

If you care, a photo of the engine is inside.
