Ditto on the Maranello! I totally agree. It seems easier and more fun to drive. And it's amazing how many young kids (16 to early 20s) gawk at the car when I drive by. I'm not putting the SLR down in any way, I'm just saying I prefer the Maranello. True about the salesmen. They're like flies on dog poop when they see my mug! What's really strange though, and my girlfriend and I talk about this all the time, is that once the sale is over, I usually get a call a few weeks later asking how I like the car and if there is anything they can do. And then...... they disappear! I haven't heard from any salesman yet that sold me one of those cars asking me months later if everything is OK and would I like to buy something else. Although the F430 salesman in Scottdale, Arizona had a person from the dealership call and ask me if I was interested in a Super America. Beautiful car!!! When I asked how much, he said $375K. After I got up off the floor, I told him thanks for the call but a the present time, I really wasn't interested. My girlfriend says that she'd call me once a month (of course she does that now!) just to check in with me and MAKE SURE everything was OK. She said if she was my salesperson, she'd be my best friend for the rest of my life. It is very puzzling to me especially since they don't have to pay for their calls or mail. Strange!! :crazyeyes:
