Did you guys know that once you buy one brand new, the engineers take your car out on their test track and beat the living snot out of it before you even get it?
I didn't know this until someone on s2ki posted this video of the 599 at the Ferrari factory:

http://www.dpccars.com/car-videos/04-16-07...GTB-Fiorano.htm

If you haven't seen this video already, it's a "must see" and well worth the 45 minutes

When you consider the time, effort and detail put into hand assembling each engine, it shouldn't be too surprising that there's no "break-in" period like all mass produced vehicles.

Pure perfection

Thanks guys for your interest in going up there for the tour. I'm supposed to hear back from the manager later this week about doing a tour for us. He's only in his office twice out of the whole week because he travels alot. One of the salesman there tells me he goes to the Ferrari manufacturer in Maranello Italy a few times a year for business. Man I bet that's something to behold for the rest of your life. If I could, I'd try and get all of us on a plane to visit that place too . But anyway, the assistant manager I spoke with on Sunday morning about the tour, is cool with it. Only there might be a limit to how many people can go. Nothing is final yet, but out of respect for their establishment, I didn't wanna bring too many people there. We prolly wouldn't get to see everything if that happened. But when I hear back from the big boss this week, I'll keep you guys updated. Best

Pics from a May 2005 FoW event on the then newly-opened Shenandoah Circuit. And yes, I was invited.

Here is a pic of me and Didier Theys after driving a F430 at go to jail speeds several times. I also drove a Bentley GT, A Ford GT, A Lambo Gallardo, Aston Martin DB9 and Corvette Z06.

This was in 2006 near Front Royal.

That was money well-spent, George.
