For a 2012 Ferrari with a high-tech tuned suspension system that thing sure has some large wheel gaps. Almost looks as if that's not the correct diameter wheel/tire combo for that car.

This is an outrage. Who was the dealer that betrayed the memory of Enzo Ferrari by letting Paris Hilton buy a California? You've soiled the name, fella. We've always associated the word "Ferrari" with performance, sophistication, and quality, but you've added washed-up whore, wonk eye, and Valtrex to my new imagery.
Heh.

let's look at it this way - the faster the car she buys, the more likely she will die in a high speed car crash, and the world can pretend to care.

IIRC, they all come with a paddle shift actuated dual clutch manual. No third pedal, no lever to row.

I'm not sure if Ferrari makes something that doesn't have a gearbox like that nowadays.


Can't say I'm all worked up about a rich person buying expensive things like the author of TFA. So she bought a red Ferrari; hell, if I had that kind of money, I'd probably do it too. I've little doubt that there's things the author has purchased that others look at as stupid and extravagant.

Do you get the feeling that the 1% may try to sacrifice Paris Hiton to the 99%, as a gesture of appeasement? "Here, take out your frustrations on this."

Well, it's rosso corsa, the proper color for a Ferrari. I can't really hate her for it either. Now if she paints it pink or something then she can DIAF.

Uh... it's picking nits, but a Ferrari California only costs $300,000 if you buy it with a suitcase full of twenty dollar bills in the passenger seat. MSRP is $229,000.

And I don't think it's a 2012. I don't think they are out in the US yet.

Every Ferrari California has a double-clutch gearbox that can function in either full auto or "manual" via clutchless flappy-paddles behind the steering wheel. There's no way to get a traditional stick/clutch shift done...and to go full auto you just push a button.

Because you can't purchase a super car until it shows up on the dealers lot.

This article has to be written by someone who posts here. I haven't seen that much unmitigated hate towards someone they've never met since the last Tebow/Khardasian/Beiber/Rebecca Black/Michael Bay/*insert popular thing here* thread.

There's a lot of bitter anger on this site.

Nah, it's not that. It's that the Ferrari is going to go to waste with her behind the wheel. Just as an incredibly physically gifted athlete is pretty worthless without a good coach, a Ferrari is a total waste without a decent driver. It's just a shame to see such a beautiful machine pretty much go to waste. .

Heh, yellow is visually striking, but in my mind all Ferraris are red. There's a few allowances made here and there (1980s Testarossas can be white, the 456GT looked awesome in that dark bluish black, etc.), but to me a PROPER Ferrari is going to be red. I can deal with lime green/yellow/orange/etc. Lamborghinis, but not Ferraris.

I was talking about the car in the pic he posted, not the one she bought.

The pic posted has side by side exhaust. The California has over-under exhaust.
