Awesome story! I remember my first ride in a ferrari

 

Thanks, I wasn't a titanium fan until I saw this car. I originally was looking for a TdF blue car, and this one came along.

I've had more Ferrari's than I can count, and I am to the point that I don't need a red car with a racing stripe.

I specifically wanted a non red, no stripe car. The CS is so special in its own right that it can stand on its own merits without a stripe.

 

Good story, nice act. Should go in the Off Topic "Would You Give A Ride.." thread.

 

couldnt agree more... I guess tho that without a stripe it gives it a more "elegant" look... great car... looks stunning

also in blue tho...

 

There's TdF!!! I still love that color.

I don't know if I would say 'elegant'. I would say that it doesn't look 'boy racer', but it is very 'self assured'. Only people who know Ferrari's really know what it is, and I like that. The stripe screams, "I'm driving a pseudo race car"! But most of those guys won't go near a track.

When that kid started waxing on about the car being a CS, I knew he was the real deal. On the ride I caught him petting the carbon fiber doors!

 

 

That is awesome. He will always remember that experience.

 

Great story! And as a young enthusiast myself I thank you again for that boy. The CS is my dream car, my ultimate goal in life. I've been around quite a few, in several colors, and only had the opportunity to sit in one, at a dealer in Atlanta.

This past April I was an event photographer for a charity exotic car festival in Orlando and there were two trackdays at Sebring. A friend asked a CS owner to take me out around the track. I, much like the Stabucks employee, felt my knees give out. That's something I could never do, just ask someone for a ride in their Ferrari around a race track. When he said "Sure, Lets's go," I was speechless. And to be completely honest I don't remember how I reacted or what I said.

What I do remember is 4 unforgettable laps in a Rosso Corsa Challenge Stradale around Sebring's historic 3.7 mile road coarse. I've never said "Thank you" so many times in my life in a 20 minute period. That was the single most incredible experience in my short 24 years.

So thank you again for making someone's day, and possibly dream come true.

P.S. Your Grigio Titanio CS is stunning!

 

Great story, kudos to you sir. You gave that kid a memory that will last a life time.
