I’ll have to admit I am guilty of this one. When I raised my first round for my first startup I immediately bought a Porsche. I used my own money, but it sent the wrong message to my wife, investors, partners, employees, customers and vendors. It is hard to negotiate salary with prospective employees when you are driving around in your brand new red sports car. My advice? Buy the Ferrari after your first exit, not before (oh and sometimes the used Ferrari is more expensive than the new one).
Porsche? You should have got the Ferrari.
I happen to work with the gentlemen in the picture next to your post. He is a good man and a great father. Your post is insulting a rude. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Really? I think screwing over your employees, contractors and vendors is insulting and rude. Posting a picture of the Ferrari Jim bought isn’t rude, it is the truth. He is an insensitive pig who has no sense. He lies and sexually harasses his employees. He should be sued and thrown out of his company. Screw you.
DICK! DICK! DICK! DICK! DICK! DICK! DICK! DICK! DICK! DICK! DICK! DICK! DICK! DICK! DICK! DICK! DICK! DICK! DICK! DICK! DICK! DICK!
I happen to know the person you are referring to, and yes ALL of us are pissed. We didn’t get our bonuses, but he got his Ferrari! He is such a dick.
Jim is a BITCH, fuck him!
That guys looks like a douche.
I would never buy a Ferrari; not only is it out of my budget, but it’s not my preference in a vechile.I would say a Nissan 350z is more proper for the typical business man but a man of your class would probably say an Infinite would be a better choice?
Changing the subject, if I may; Youe have your own website? WOW! Just another project to add to your workload? Impressive though…
I must say, Congratulations Alex! You have done extremely well for yourself and your family!
How you manage EVERYTHING blows my mind!
Best wishes in your continuous success!!!!!
The guy is a prick who doesn’t keep his work. Fuck him.
That is a Ferrari 360 Modena made between 1999 and 2005. It is selling used on ebay between $50,000 and $100,000. I think it was less expensive than your BMW 750il (not to mention your lambrogini http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexmuse/284928271/ ) Maybe you should edit your post.
@glass houses – touche, but I have had more than a couple of exits. Sort of like apples and oranges…/..
Ferraris, BMWs and Lambroginis? Bush took from the poor to give to you guys. I hope Obama takes every penny from you all.
I don’t know the guy, but what a TOOL!
Do not buy a Ferrari if you are bothered by people you don’t know starting conversations with you about the car, the brand, and Ferrari history. If you do buy a Ferrari, study a bit. You will feel better being reasonable able to answer questions and you will have some interesting conversations with people you would otherwise not meet.
If you are an unmarried woman looking to meet men. Buy a Ferrari. The past few times I have driven the car guys have walked up and started talking with me about it. Drive a Ferrari to Home Depot or the grocery store, your trip will take twice as long as it should, and you will have a nice conversation with complete strangers.
I need to get away from paying homage to the car but looking at it today under cloudy skies it was absolutely beautiful. The color reflects the gray and graphite blue in a way that brings out the light blue hues in the paint. It looked fantastic. Better than on a sunny day. While red or yellow Ferraris are certainly showier I think silver is the color for me and possibly the best color on a 355.
