Ferrari F430 on the 59th Street Bridge<\/a><\/object><\/p>\n

I remember thinking last Sunday that the upcoming week was going to be a rough one. I had the New York International Auto Show to cover, I was taking delivery of a car and I still had loads of work to accomplish on my 1968 Dodge Charger to get it ready for the One Lap of America<\/a>. Covering the NYIAS is a blast. There is a lot of walking and picture taking involved, but you also get to reconnect with a lot of industry people that you may or may not have gotten to see throughout the year. <\/p>\n

The automotive blog-o-sphere is a pretty tight knit community and most of the journalists know each other in one way, shape or form. Rob Enaudi, the Editor-in-Chief at Cardomain.com<\/a> is a good buddy of mine, so it was nice to reconnect with him at the NYIAS. As mentioned, I was supposed to take delivery of a car this week and on Thursday morning at about 8am I got the phone call I was waiting for. Parked out next to the Jacob Javits Center was a transport truck with said car in the back. Keep in mind that this was no run of the mill Toyota Corolla or Nissan Maxima, but a beautiful black Ferrari F430. I’d like to say this car will be running side by side with me in the One Lap of America<\/a>, but truth be told he’ll most likely be WAAAAAAY out in front.<\/p>\n

Once the car was off loaded I called Rob and asked him to take a ride with me back to my house in Queens to drop off the Ferrari. He was kind enough to oblige me, so I picked him up at his hotel and we went for little ride. Big thanks to Rob for taking these pics and a bit of video. I’ll be doing a full road test and review of this stellar piece of Italian machinery in the next few days, so make sure to keep an eye out.<\/p>\n
