yes we all know that Ferrari is Italian ...but it was Flown in straight from Germany. Italy is not the only place in Europe that had the F430 before the US.

uuuummm. next time you go to MACY's to buy a shirt, ask them how much they are making on average on each article of clothing...

it was fun ...it was a business and businesses are in business to make money as well. it wasn't my responsiblity to balance the books so i cannot divulge that info. i helped where i could...even if it meant a motor swap throughout the night or delivery of a GT-R to North Carolina on the whim.

ok cool. I know the prices over there are alot less then over here. It is just making sure that it gets here safe which cost a good amount of money. I have see silvias over there for 15k and the same style and everything being sold here for 25-30k so I know the importer is makeing some money.
