Some people just don't get convertibles. Cars are for driving as well as looking at - enjoyment comes from many places.

Beautiful car! Have nothing but fun with it. That's what they're for IMO.

The Ford GT is my fantasy car.

Ever heard of putting a space between the period and first letter of the following sentence?

Like I said, a serious driver wont buy a F430 Spider over the coupe, just not gonna happen. And while the average Joe might not want to drive the car to its full potential, then they dont get any respect from me at all in those regards. Just a matter of opinion....
You clearly know very little about Ferrari. If you think that Ferrari limited the sale of the F40, F50 and Enzo to hard-core drivers, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn that I'd like to sell you.

As for F430 Spider buyers failing to get your respect...lets just say they're likely not losing any sleep over it.

To buy a F40 or F50, you had to own several Ferraris prior to taking order. In other words, Ferrari just didnt offer it to any Joe Schmoe off the street who wanted the most expensive Ferrari they could find to use as a status symbol. Sure many of the buyers bought them and drove them little, but most of them have seen track times because you dont buy a car like a F40 or Enzo to drive it to church on Sunday or parade it through Beverly Hills like some damned Playboy model. Just go on YouTube or Streetfire and watch all the track day vids featuring said cars. Those owners bought their cars because they know what theyre made for, and it sure as hell aint to be used as some kind of lame status symbol.

And I dont care what F430 Spider buyers think about what I think of them. Its their prerogative to buy a Spider, so let em. Im sure there are cars they dont like, too, and let em voice their disapproval all they want. And maybe, juuuuust maybe, there are some cars you dislike as well. GASP
