Driving along North Lamar in Austin today, and out pulls a FERRARI ENZO of all things...


At the redlight I talked to the driver, and he told me he really liked my MINI Cooper S, and that he really likes to race them in his Enzo.

I asked him if he was interested in trading cars, but he said no .


This is the first Enzo I have ever seen in the flesh, I was so excited!!

 

Can you imagine that, the guy in the red Ferrari likes to race Mini Coopers.

I've never seen one on the road, that must have been really cool.

Nice pic!

 

Not only was it a "red Ferrari", it was a red Ferrari Enzo...which makes it just that much cooler .


I was shaking when I saw it. I was soooooooooo excited.

 

Nah, the black Enzo it where it's at

 

Your photo is really nice, too bad he didnt pose for a full length photo as well!

 

haha, nice dude.

i've seen them at car shows in Boston..but never driving.

you should have told him you'd detail it..haha

 

Ya, if the light stayed red for about 10 more seconds I would have gotten out and gave him my business card. Oh well...

 

yeah, oh well..maybe you'll see him again

ps..im guessing your internet still sucks since you've been on aim maybe 2 times in last 6 months...haha

 

Yup, I've given up on AIM. I will wait until I move out of my house for college before I even give AIM another shot. Hopefully my college won't have crappy internet.

 

still going to Boston?

 

Yup

The Enzo in black looks like some form of deadly rare praying mantis. There's a video that was floating around of a black Enzo in NYC entering a parking garage. When the back end clears the curb, the dude driving tachs it out to what sounded like 8,000+ rpm. The echo was incredible! He knew he was being watched and filmed.

 

That driver's smile is so big, you'd almost think he was a MINI enthusiast!

 

I agree with the black enzo comments - the darker the color, the less noticeable the ugly big-bird nose is - in yellow it should just come with Sesame Street logos.

 

I don't know what you guys are talking about...red, black, yellow, It still is an Enzo.

 

With Grouch in the trash can on the back tossing crap at ya!

 

I still way prefer the F40

 

I thought all the Enzos had been crashed by now

 

if you're in vegas, check out the wynn ferrari showroom. last time i was there there was an fxx. there're only ~30 of those in the world

 

Also if you go to Lamborghini of Las Vegas (Symbolic) they have a Bugatti Veyron in the showroom

 

Ever seen one on the road ?



They are not only huge, but seriously ugly too !

I'd rather have an RS200 - shame they are not road legal in California





(all pics taken at various Cars and Coffee events - see my .sig)

 

I would believe so at 1.5 million. What was the deal with buying one? You had to be chosen to get one and had to previously own an Enzo? Was that it or was that how you had to get an Enzo by owning an F40 or F50? But, I'd rather have the FXX myself, even though its not street legal either. Lexan windows, no tailights, I'm sure it has no cats or any form there of. Oh, and whats the deal with an Rs200? It looks the backwoods offspring of an MR2 and a 911.

 

In general, you cant just walk into a showroom, cash in hand, and buy one. I believe you got to be part of the club. First own a used one, then move up. The new cars go to previous owners who resell at a profit (although still new but technically used). Gotta play the game if your playing with the big boys.

Then ask again - assuming you have to....

 

I don't think they mentioned on that wikipedia page that the engine requires rebuilding about as often as you stop for gas.
