I was driving home today on the 405 freeway and followed a new(no plates) red ferrari onto the freeway. I wasn't sure what it was till I pulled up next to the guy. Yup, red 360 Spider in the flesh . We we both cruising at about 70 until we got some room ahead of us. Just for the hell of it I downshifted to 4th and punched it. I was surprised the guy would even waste his time, but b4 I knew it, he sprinted away from me. At this point I was doing around 120. I have no clue how fast he was going. I could just smell his exhaust fumes and it made me .

He finally shut her down and let me catch up. While passing him, I had to show my appreciation with a thumbs up. The guy starts honking his horn. I slow down until we are besides each other and we both exchange thumbs up again. I'm still smiling now.

I drove by 4 Ferrari's and had little fun with one of them (355 Spider) they were all cool people and gave me thumbs up. Everyone would imagine them being spoiled and cocky, but I guess when you own the real deal it feels good to weave the people who appreciate your ride.

Not that it makes a huge difference in your case, but 70 in 3rd is way better.

And yes, not that you had much of a chance, but 3rd would have been better.

A guy in a 360 Modena was trying to race me the other day, but for a reason, he didn't want to go at the end.
Anyways, good death Kekoa .

Kekoa, you live in a better place than most. What part of the 405 are you going 120 after work? Around here you can't get to 40 on that freeway it's so screwed up.
