Made my day.

Baron7700 · 05-07-2007

Yesterday 5/6/07 i was sitting at a 4 way traffic light in town and i was first in line. It just so happened that i was putting my top down as i pulled up and there was an f430 stopped on the other side of the light looking at me!

First off i was amazed, those cars are not around here. So the light turns green and we idle past each other staring at each others cars, *with a full line of traffic behind us im sure pissed off

* and at almost a complete stop we pull up to each others window, and he gives me a thumbs up and shouts nice car!

Then he hit it and opened up that exhuast and it was the ***iest thing i have ever heard.

I dunno, but i was grinning for the remaining of the day at work.

Good shtuff. It's always nice hearing compliments... especially when it's from the owner of an exotic.

**-1-** · 05-07-2007

John, hobnobbing with the big dogs. You're a player!

**etyu** · 05-08-2007

Very nice JC!

**alroumi** · 05-09-2007

They those F430's sound like a mega phone when the Valves open up. Amazing, Wait till you listen to the Kreisseg aftermarket exhaust system for the F430.

**DesignoSLK** · 05-09-2007

... Even the exotics have to get out for a stretch! Good for you John!

412driver · 05-09-2007

JC, you are sooooo easy. Turned on by exhaust sound,,, must be nice to be young.... At my age, takes more than that,,, OH to be young again. I remember when just seeing a nice car got me bacited, then as age crept in, took noise, later, a ride and even later, a run down the road. Now, well now, why bother getting bacited.

Gettin old sucks.....

Baron7700 · 05-09-2007

haha, no its just something about "redheads" that gets me going.

412driver · 05-09-2007

OH, the plot thickens, tell us more, sly dog.

Baron7700 · 05-09-2007

redheads = ferrari

N4PWJ · 05-10-2007

nice one John.
Those F430's are music to my ears. such an immense noise out of them.
The guy who drives the Ferrari had every right to compliment your car as your skl is a great looking machine also! might not be worth £130k but still looks a million quid

**alroumi** · 05-10-2007

Any one heared the BMW M6? , with an exhaust system it has ceratin similarties to a Ferrari "F1-ish" sound.

Ya'll never heard a Kubota tractor wid glass packs I bet. When Im mowin by the road, peeple stop an stare at me all the tym. They must think my tractors ***y...((((or maybe its cause Im not wearin nuthin but my boots))))) On the way home frum wurk this mornin, a 350Z Nissan pulled aside me on the innerstate, drove there just behin on the left for several miles an then pulled up and rolled down the tinted winder an this blond bombshell gave me a thumbs up and big ole smile an pulled away wid her turn signal flashin left then right then left. You should have seed the twin mufflers she had, probly 44D.

Oh great!, now there is an image I did NOT want in my head.

412driver · 05-10-2007

An image in your head is better than seeing it in person...

but either is bad..
