Today on PCH

Posted by MotorDan On March - 20 - 2009

599So today I had to drive up to Huntington Beach, I figured I’d take PCH, and bring a camera along. If you are ever in Southern California, and you are into cars…you have got to take a drive on PCH. This was all on a Friday around 2pm….In the gallery you’ll notice an Aston Martin, a classic Caddy, my own unattainable dream 4S, but the highlight was actually right after I pulled onto Newport Blvd.  From PCH.  I spotted a Ferrari 599GTB sitting in a parking lot.  I’ve seen many a Ferrari, hell I’ve driven an Enzo, but I’ve never seen this model in public until today.  I must say, the Pininfarina masterpiece is truly breathtaking in person.  Front engine Ferraris are hard for some to swallow, but I think the successes that other manufacturers have had (think Viper), forced Ferrari into showing their strength.  Strength that is building incredibly sexy, incredibly powerful (612hp), and incredibly expensive vehicles (this one goes for over $300,000).  Ferraris are many things, but more than anything, they are exclusive.  Most car fans, could never afford one, hell, I don’t think I could afford an oil change.  But we can dream, and we can appreciate the heart, and effort that the Italian manufacturer has put into this product.   BTW, this isn’t exclusive to Ferrari, it makes us fanatics happy when we see a vehicle that obviously carried incredible amounts of passion to develop.  Even if we will never turn the keys, we appreciate it. Thanks.

Oh, you might notice an Orange car in the background of one of the 599 shots, I tried to get a clean shot but couldn’t, but yes that is a GT3RS….hey, it was Newport Beach!?
