Stoopie, Would you believe one of Ohio's famous 'chuck holes' swallowed up the 05 F430? :shock: Nah.... I didn't think you would!

In reality, I was originally supposed to sell it to my son but he kinda has PO'd :x me lately so I sold it to the 'Exotic' car dealer in Cleveland. He buys all my cars when I think it's time for a change.

As far as my son, the dumb ass is doing things I don't like. He just got nailed for doing 100 mph by a Ohio State Trooper... and that's after he already had 2 or 3 previous speeding tickets! He's got a Corvette Z06 and drives it like a jerk!

Then to top it all off, he has started 'Road Racing' (on a track) a Suzuki sport bike going speeds of 130-140 mph. :bad-words: He just had
twin baby girls' a year or so ago and I would think he would realize a 'safety responsibility' to his family. But not him! So I said to myself, "He ain't getting the F430!" Mags

p.s. Yeah, you did notice the 05 F430 not being there but you didn't notice the change in the F430 Spiders... now did you? :roll: Heh... heh...! The guy in Cleveland had an 07 F430 Spider with only 187 miles on her so I got the 'heeebie jeeebies' nfire: for it and worked out a deal trading the 06 Spider back to him for the 07.

A few of the reasons I did the trade was the Model year (06 to an 07), plus it had a 'wilder' interior, plus it had the stock factory exhaust system instead of the 'TUBI' exhaust system. The factory exhaust system sounds a lot better at slower normal speeds! Supposedly, TUBI systems sound and work better at higher RPMs, but since I'm not a 'wild and crazy' guy on the roads, I'll get better engine sounds from the factory system! Plus there is a 'slightly' different Radio sound system. Got ya.... didn't I? :prr:
