Why are you showing electron annihilation? Just for a positron joke? Edit I see I made a similar comment at the time.
That, and the fact that he calls Jon Diebler and JJ Redick his role models. Sounds like he's not just working on it, but making it a priority. But yeah--gonna need to see in game results before I get too excited.
An interesting factiod - if you are a first time new Ferrari buyer - it seems that you now need to buy a California before they will allow you to buy a 488... (Technically you do not, but you will be very low on the list, where you would be bumped higher if you also buy a California).
HA! So THAT'S how they've managed to sell those monstrosities! That's a pretty expensive ticket just to get in line for a real Ferrari. If I had the money, I'd much rather buy an older Ferrari - the styling as really gone downhill. Shit, I'd rather have a Mondial than a California.
That might be taking a bit too much. The Mondial was a monstrosity and the California is actually a really nice driving machine (I got to wheel one for a short drive - they are not pretty, but they are very competent, the Mondial is even uglier). I would take a 308GT4 over it tho.
The California looks like a bigger, fatter, modern Nissan 350Z. It's a nice enough looking car on it's own, but at this price point - you expect more. It is however a very nice driving car and can actually be used daily - which is a real treat for someone that must drive a Ferrari every day.
Whatever works. His form might not be perfect but it is still a huge improvement from last year. Don't you think? It's not like he will be shooting them when someone is guarding him.
Here is a 370Z (newer version of the 350Z) compared to the California - The are both front-engined with really tall sides, the Ferrari is a 10 years newer design - with more scoops and surprisingly longer overhangs - but this is just a generic upper-class convertible sports car, not an exotic like the 458/488 nor the svelte long-hood machines that previous front-engined F-cars were If you prefer - here is a Jaguar F-Type convertible - a car that costs a 1/3 of the F-Car The problem is that it is just another stubby fat-sided convertible sports car, it just does not look special. I understand that a lot of it is the need for practicality and modern side-impact requirements - but still, it just does not measure up, imho. If Denny wants to buy me one for my contributions to the forum, I will not kick it out of my driveway, but it is not a pretty car imho.
No doubt the California is a much better driver. But though the Mondial is not a pretty car, I do think it's a better looking car - and most certainly looks more like a Ferrari. IMO the 308s and 328s are pretty much "peak" Ferrari, in terms of styling. So, I'd take pretty much any iteration of 308/328 over anything post-Testarossa. IMO everything went downhill starting with the F40.
I disagree about the Mondial - but I agree that things started to go downhill after the 328 - but it was still ok for the 348 and the 355, 550 - after that - everything became too big. They started to figure out that their customers are old, rich and fat - they needed the space. It was a smart business decision, but looks wise, not great. The 458/488, Enzo and LaFerrari would be just fine if they were 3/4 the size.
Well, this is a pic of the redesigned and improved California - Turner has the earlier version. I still think it's bland as fuck - definitely not what you expect when it comes to Ferrari or Pininfarina (I think they designed the Cali?). But these days, it's so hard to distinguish one manufacturer from another at any given price point. Asian design has improved and Euro design has declined to the point where there's not enough aesthetic difference between a BMW and a Kia.
