The adolescent years are full of all types of riveting milestones. Your first kiss, your first job, and, of course, getting your drivers permit and hitting the road.
Jay Leno wished for a 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB4 as a teen and bought one as an adult.1 Justin Bieber didn’t have to wait – he was driving a Lamborghini at the age of sixteen. The perks of wealth!
Most Sewell teens, like myself, didn’t get to select what vehicle they got to drive. And some adolescents didn’t even get to drive Dad’s old beater. At seventeen, I would dream about fancy sports cars. I’d close my eyes and picture myself cruising around Sewell with the top down in a Ferrari F430 Spider.
The F430 Spider stole my heart as a kid and it still does. With its classic Ferrari styling, huge engine, and the velocity of a race car, it would have exceeded all my expectations.
I even knew the optimal color: Nero black with black rims so I would look stealthy everywhere I went. I’d throw in the yellow brake calipers to match the Ferrari emblems and I’d of course opt for the red leather seats. Thinking about it now makes me wish I could go buy one!
Price is no limit in your imagination. In real life, a Ferrari F430 would set me back a couple hundred thousand dollars so I won’t be purchasing one any time soon. But that doesn’t stop me from fantasizing.
