Nice I saw a lot of those things a couple weeks ago.

Cool... doesn't look like much though

Cool. I live near a Ferrari/Astin Martin/Maserati dealership, so we see them around all the time (usually test drives).

I think Maseratis are over-rated.

There is only 1 here in town. An ugly sky blue.

I'd rather drive a Jaguar XKR thank you very much.

Looks like the one on the Sopranos. I'd drive it

Harry, you live over there? I drive through there all the time and usually stop to put some fingerprints on the windows.

I live in Windward, near Webb Bridge Road. Five minutes from Old Milton Parkway. (exit 10 on 400)

That's really close to my house, actually. I take my car to Harrison Motorsports, which is sorta in that area.

**doughboyea** · 03-19-2006, 10:52 PM

I could be wrong, but isn't a Massarati a Ferrari just more luxurious and alot more heavier?

Dough

**Longhairedhippy** · 03-19-2006, 10:59 PM

nope. different chassis, different body, different engine. Maserati is now owned by Fiat,and may be up for sale again soon.

**Hoppy** · 03-20-2006, 01:31 PM

ya this is the first time seing a new maserati. there arnt many nice cars up here, and especialy this time of year. enough road salt to eat through all your california and southern cars.

Jaguar XKR is an automatic...

**888** · 03-29-2006, 02:09 AM

There are like 4 of those that live around me. Personally I don't really like em that much.

some guy that lives in the back of my neighborhood has a collection of cars at some warehouse in cumming and i dropped ryan off there last saturday and he had one of those four door maserati's in the driveway he said he got it at a forclosue auction for 1/4 of MSRP and he was taking it to the warehouse.

My question is, if he's that filthy rich (he is. i used to babysit them and he had a paystub on the counter and it showed like 42k for the month of january. ) why does he live in my neighborhood. its a nice neighborhood yes, but not a place for that kind of money.

Maybe cheaper housing allows him to spend money on other things. Probably not such a bad thing, just cause you have the money you don't necessarily need a bigger house.
