Default 11-18 My day went from eh to HHOOLLEEE SHEEETT!!!!

ok, so today was going alright. nothing to really complain about, like any other day. about 3:30 or so, this kid rolls in with his E46 M3 (he wasn't much older than me) . I don't know what he brought it for, but my coworker informs me a few minutes later that the kids dad has a 550 Maranello and would be bringing it by next week to see if we could get the Flat Tire Monitor system to initialize. He tells me that its an older 550 (i didn't think they have been around that long so i'm thinking its a late 90's model, who cares, it's a Ferrari!!)

So i'm hoping at this point the guy brings it before Wednsday since i'm flying home for Turkey Day As i take a seat at the computer to close out a ticket, he comes back and says "I don't want to alarm you, but that old 550...yeeaaahhh...it's actually an '04 575."

It took me a few minutes to get the look of shock off my face and scrape my jaw off the floor. After accomplishing that, i went to work on the 740 that i had ordered parts for yesterday. Only a few minutes went by when i noticed everyone walking out of the shop. Sooo...being the curious monkey i am, i poke my head out to see what all the hubbub is about. This is the sight i was greeted with:










:shocked!: nfire: :shocked!:

I am SOOOOOOOO glad i started taking my camera to work. I will probably never see this car again! I am also currently playing cat and mouse with a yellow Gallardo that is sneaking around town. It also pulled up to the dealer a little while back. I guess it's owner is friends with the Mercedes service advisor. I need to find it before he trades it to Ferrari when he takes delivery of his 430 that he has on order Must be nice huh?
