    Just think of all the poor golden disco balls that were sacrificed to upholster that interior... On the plus side, at least they are no longer disco balls...

    Isn't every Ferrari mile like 3 or 4 miles in ordinary car years?


    And speaking of cars that aren't jelly beans, driving to work Monday, again somewhere in the wilds of US 64 heading to Richmond, a silver Maserati showed up--no idea what kind, but a 4 door sedan, a bit of wear and tear, and Florida plates. In person much more impressive than a still shot on the web. Rather sedate design but stood out from the thousands of jellybeans like a swan among geese. I confess that when I saw the three portholes I first thought, What the hell kind of Buick is that?!

    Sorry. The odds of a Maser on that road have been a double million to nil.

    It's nice to see Hammond is selling this car rather than, you know, welding 55 gallon drums to the underside and challenging Clarkson to a rematch race across the Channel.

    Maybe Fifth Gear should buy this car and pass it on as their weekly competition prize


    After EVO and Top Gear's Richard Hammond it would seem like a logical next step for this 550.

    only $66k? Is that supposed to be 66,000 pounds? I know 49k miles is a lot for a Ferrari, kudos to Hammond for that by the way, but thats some depreciation for a 11 year old $250k car.

    @deftonesboy360: The ad states £39,950 the exchange rate a few weeks back was £1=$2 that may have changed recently. But V12 Ferrari's drop in price very quickly.
