Anyone know where I can get one of these?

Hi All,

I was wondering if any of our interepid design gurus had one of these on their drawing boards?





I "have" to go to the local Ferrari dealership as part of my job about once a week and this little lovely caught my eye. One of the sales guys noticed me snapping away with my cell phone/camera/electronic leash and came over to see if I would like to purchase it. After I got over the immediate flash of me in the drivers' seat with some leggy lovely in the seat adjacent and the resultant big grin, I just sort of sighed and said with my paycheck, I might be able to fill it up one time, but that was about as far as it would go.

When he told me the price, six figures and up depending on options and my jaw returned from the floor I chuckled and thanked him and left. Maybe some day if I hit the Mega Bucks jackpot, after a lengthy model buying spree, if there is enough left over I might consider it. I suppose the closest I will get to one is a paper model........

Yeppers, you got it.

The Ferrari dealership in question is located at the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas. We have a photo shoot where the touristas can sit in one, try a key to see if it starts it (provided by the Resort), if it does, they just have to pay the taxes and it is theirs. Otherwise, they just get their picture taken for a nominal fee. It is located in the mini-museum where they have a number of racers, Ferraris and Maseratis and other high end types that you can ogle. It is a more modern auto museum than the one at the Imperial Palace also a lot smaller.

At the Imperial Palace you can check out a whole fleet of Dusenbergs, Mercedes, and a lot of other vehicles from both sides of the pond. all high end and very well kept. There are even a few historical pieces here and there including a few military types and one off custom jobs.
