Did Gino buy a Ferrari?

Ferrari falls off transporter........

As the story of the Toyota recalls changed every few hours yesterday, dealer Ernie Boch was interviewed by nearly every local news station. But in the wake of analysis and predictions, Fox 25 News sent their helicopter to record a chuckle-worthy clip at Boch's Ferrari dealership in Norwood, where one of his F430 Spiders was dangling off a transport truck.

Sudden accleration in a Ferrari isn't hard to muster, but that wasn't the case as the mid-engined exotic, which bases at $217,310, balanced on its rear end.

"We sold the vehicle to a guy in Florida," Boch wrote in an e-mail today. "As they were loading on the truck to deliver it to Florida, it fell off. Their guy didn't secure the emergency brake hard enough....it was totaled!!"

Business continues to slump for Ferrari, which cut production by 20 percent last year and reduced deliveries to dealers, including Boch's.

Demand, however, is still high worldwide. Customers who order a new stallion have to wait nearly two years to get one. So the Florida buyer might be a tad upset.

Ok maybe I don't have the grasp of the supply and demand concept as I thought... How does buisness slump when worldwide demand is high???

You have to give away free floormats now to get them to wait 2 years for the car.

Ferrari is very careful to keep supply below demand. It has been that way for a long time and is part of their mystique.

sales talk....pure and simple.

When the DOW is at 12,000, real estate is appreciating at 10% a month and banks are giving money away you will pay over sticker for a Ferrari and then sell it used for MSRP two years later and brag about it to your friends. You can probably buy a "Cigarette boat" and do the same thing but.........

when the stocks are idle, real estate is diminishing and banks won't lend a nickel to their customers these cherished chariots will sit idle on the showroom floor. The 430 is starting to age since it was simply a 360 with a bigger engine and the 360 has been out since 99/00. Lambo and others have up'd the game so Ferrari's new 458 will be all the rage this year. The 612 has been a flop and lack of a super car like the Enzo hasn't brought Ferrari any hype lately.

Does anyone know if the Ferrari California is just a re-badged Maserati? Kind of looks like a Maserati and performance is very similar.
