California Ferrari at FOW

Found a couple of gems at Ferrari of Washington. A 2006 Maserati Gransport with only 600 some miles which I promptly purchased, and a black California Ferrari. I asked them how they got it and why it was sitting in their showroom and I was told it was for display only. As in they have had offers way over MSRP for it but can't sell it until this Fall. Nice looking car overall but I personally like a great arse and this car does not have one. The rear ends is very boxy and basically looks like someone smacked it with a board as a final touch -- very unusual for a Ferrari.

Congrats!!

As for the California I don't know what you mean it does have a great arse! Sadly its a great big arse
IMHO if they a FHC version with a better proportioned rear (made possible by eliminating the folding bumpf) would be a stunning car

Yes. It was a special order color called blue malogo (sp?). It's similar to magetic blue with metallic blue and green hues except that it's a darker blue.

I will post some pictures under Comparisons to Other Cars this weekend.

Interesting. I understand he or she is somewhat of a collector.
