A $ 12,000 Ferrari!!!!

Of course, it only does 12.5 mph.....

The Segway PT i2 Ferrari Limited Edition comes just in time to celebrate Kimi Raikkonen's F1 championship. However, despite being painted in red, having a "Genuine Leather" handlebar and sporting the Cavallino Rampante shield, it doesn't run any faster than a regular Segway, neither does it attract sculptural blondes named Ingrid or Helga. In other words, a waste of $12,000. Maybe Ron Dennis' darling snotty-boy Lewis Hamilton should drive one next year.

Still NEED ONE!!!?????


Wow. What happened to integrity? Class? Oh, guys with more money than brains or balls or common decency.. Nevermind.

I actually felt this recently. Thought about buying a little Porsche 911, you know, just for blasting some backroads now and again, some track days, etc. I like the looks, the pedigree, the famous "snap oversteer", the satisfaction in driving an imperfect car at it's unpredictable limits, but I'll probably never buy one as I don't want to be seen as "one of THOSE guys". You all know what I mean. Middle aged man in a little cool sportscar. Sad state of affairs when a wiggling little pinky and a "prick on the inside" reputation sways my judgement, but there it is.

O.K. all mistiness aside, ANYONE with any sense of common decency better never, ever buy this abomination, this desecration of the Ferrari name. EVER.
