Killed an Enzo today!

Alright, the Enzo wasn't racing!

It was in Los Gatos today at noon. I spotted it from about 1/2 mile away coming at me. I couldn't miss it because it was screaming yellow! He tuned left and I turned right to pull along side of him. It sounded pretty good even before I rolled the window down!

As Ferrari street cars go, I'd have to say this is one of the ugliest I've seen in a long time. Sure it is the most increadible thing to roll on DOT approved rubber but I just can't swallow all of the lines and angles. Give me the sexy curves of the 360 Modena Spyder or 575 Maranello. Maybe it was the color. Maybe it will grow on me.

Yeah, with the enzo, the less you can see the better. That must be why they made it so fast - it's gone before you can think about how ugly it was...

True, but picture a true sports car in that yellow color, ie porsche 911, or for that matter, any of the other ferrari's mentioned earlier in this thread - although it may be a bit flashy, I think they all look great in yellow.

I think it was the Color I think the Enzo is incredible but I would take something more practicle over it like the 360 or 575M its not really the daily driver type deal.

Yeah, the 360 looks hot in yellow but I doubt I'd like to see a 575 painted that color.

hi there pal!

i'd rather you didnt say "GET RID OF" cause it was a hard decision for me to make. The CLK was the best piece of machinery my *** ever had the privilege of sitting in!

things have always been safe in this part of the middle east, no worries cause we have the 5th fleet here to keep us company!

just concerned with the aftermath of the war in iraq. Things seem to be getting out of control as many had predicted! It worries me a little!
