    I know it's not even the season, but my ex bought a nice F430 and he was telling me that he would let me drive it when he's drunk. I got so excited but a bit worried at the same time. I have an SL55 AMG but I never used the buttons on the side of the steering wheel...so basically, I don't know how to drive the Ferrari. I need major details, Please guys, I don't want to get embarrassed...and probably in front of a big crowd.

    Nice profile :)
    Assuming this is not a joke...
    What do you know to know? specifically?
    Should we start with how to start the engine?

    Wow...quite a collection of ex-otics :D :D Did each one last longer than one ride?

    Why not just ride the SLR until he is an ex as well?

    My advice: give your ex the gift of a case of Vodka at least once a week. If that doesn't work, try a case of Jim Bean.

    you are really not helpfull guys! It's not a joke. It lasted 1year, 9 months,3months respectively and it's been 3weeks with the new guy. OK, I got to admit, I have a car fetish...but I'm a good girl. Now can I get some real info. Pleeeease! Is it true that you have to press the remote twice to be able to start the car? How about the automatic mode, how simple is it? anybody have an F430 in here? AND HERE IS A PIC!!

    I'll bet you had to surf the net for at least 30 seconds to find that picture. Maybe a little more since you were looking for a red head.

    Jump in the drivers seat. Set parking brake (if not already done). Put your foot on the brake, turn the key "on". Dash board lights up, in the center of the dash is a screen, watch it as you pull back on both paddles that are behind the steering wheel. The screen will show "N". Now push the start button on the steering wheel. In the center console by your right knee is a another button labeled "auto" push and hold it for about 2 seconds..in the center screen in the dash board it will show "auto" below the "N". Release parking brake. Click the right paddle, the screen will show "1" . Now just drive like you would any other automatic car..simple.
