Default Honda S2000: 1

Yesterday morning, in Norwood, around the corner from the Ferrari dealership. I was stopped (right lane) at a red light, looked at the mirror, saw a red 458 pulling up (left lane) pretty fast. I was like "Hell yeah", got my iphone in camera mode, ready to take a pix and post it up here. Within second, I was hoping he was at my left, but no, he stopped, a whole car length behind me. I was like, wtf, how the hell am I gonna take this pix. I am not sure why anyone wouldnt pull all the way up to the line. Maybe he was looking at my S, or confused. So, the light turns green. He made the left turn to the next red light 50 ft away like he stole the car. He was the 1st car in the left lane, I was the 2nd car in the right lane, dreaming about what if I was in the 458, I can only see the back of the car. As I was looking I kinda notice there were two guy in the middle lane, looking down at me, they were in a SUV. I was thinking to myself, Why arent these people looking at a 458, yet they were looking at my S. The lights turn green, I heard the nice ring from the exhaust of the 458 diminishing, then I heard my exhaust, and I am off! =) Yeah, not the story the expected. But, how I saw it, the 458 is not all that when there's a S around. =) I am not trolling. =)

I think a 458 is certainly all that when an S is around or any other car for that matter lol.

I would give my S2000 up for a 458 in a heartbeat.

Those things are ridiculous.

Why not just do the oil changes yourself?

Pretty sure Ferrari will void your warranty if all maintenance isn't performed by them exclusively.

EDIT: furthermore, they have special shaped tools that wont allow you to access a lot of areas of the car.
