He might have been in the grocery store...but I'm thinking he was at one of the restaurants for lunch.

Either way, I'm glad he is driving the thing and not letting it go to waste.

HEY!  I take the Ferrari's to the grocery store all the time.  In fact I take all my cars to the grocery store.  I recall once, someone said "You take that to the grocery store?" and I said "I still have to eat don't I?"  Now this is a grocery store in the city where you aren't going to get a runaway cart hitting you or anything but still, there's no reason you shouldn't.  I liked the Scuderia but it's so incredibly raw.  I mean there aren't even floor mats in this thing, just scalloped welding.  There's no sound buffer or stereo, the one I drove had manual windows for goodness sake.  On the track it was extremely fun.  Had a blast throwing it around.  In particular the shift from 2nd to 3rd was amazing.  Huge pull and you could throw the back out and around on almost any turn.  I hope the owner is a real driver and not some poser.  (you see that with 911's all the time, once in awhile they go out onto the track thinking they are all bad ass but they don't know how to use their car and get smoked or just put up horrible times or take terrible turns, it's a running joke at Infinion)

It was pretty cool to see, never saw one in person before. I think a friend of his was with him in a Maserati as well. I hope they drive it too. It would be sad for it to be a garage queen.

Oh, that is so true.  That's actually one Ferrari that really loses it's point if it's not driven/tracked.  If you want to museum piece one then you just get a 430 not the Scuderia.
On a complete side note: Pronounced Scoo Der E Ah / Challenge= Cha lens jay / Straddle= Strah Dahl Aye
I think the trick for these italian jobs is to not shorten any vowel.  At least you won't sound silly in the Ferrari dealership.

^^^ LOL

The twisted, long, curly, nasal, American "r" sound is a dead giveaway, always, so I guess in most cases to correctly pronounce "Ferrari" is doomed at the start.  :-)

That's funny, not sure what you mean by the above.  Maybe there's an worse way I'm not aware of.

I'm just talking about the "r", most American can't avoid the twisted "r", like in "DARN".  Now say it with a heavy southern accent.  That's how Ferrari comes out to someone who knows a bit Italian (I do).

So for instance, this is wrong: http://inogolo.com/pronunciation/d1436/Ferrari (see esp. the first R, in RAR)

It's too twisted (but I've seen much worse).  You can tell the guy is American.  The accent is on the right places though, it's just the "r".  It should be like stereotypically people from Asia pronounce "rice" in old movies, they can't "curl" the "r" like we can do.  You shouldn't "curl" Ferrari either.

The right way is with a faster, non distorted "r": See from the man himself, he knows a thing or two about the subject:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/xdx4hrm9t4Q&amp;ap=%2526fmt%3D18&amp;rel=0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/xdx4hrm9t4Q&amp;ap=%2526fmt%3D18&amp;rel=0</a>


@ 58sec.  No time to find a better example, but it should be doable.

Is it too big a difference?  No but it's there and it's funny, as much as when Asians say "rice".
