Default More F430 talk (apple "430 IPOD")

So, I pass this guy reasonable frequently coming down 280. 'Nogaro' F430. Think he used to have a 360 Challenge in similar color.

Today, he was sticker'd ala Gumball. But, I don't think he did it...:-(

Whole car had white stickers, one large apple logo with F430 printed in the middle stuck on doors and bonnet and dozens of iPod (TM*) logo rectangles with 430 printed in the middle. All over the car...

Looks like the work of someone 'poking fun' at the somewhat ostentatious ride, especially with custom plates explaining the source of fundage.

Just had a bad vibe about it...I couldn't get a read out of the driver, but I'm sure someone at apple will see this today.

If he did it willingly to self-deprecate, good on him...but, I'm guessing no. And it looks like it could cost a major detail at best, new paint at worst...

Default That would be Kevin. Lifetime raging Ferrari nut. Goes to the track often.

Lives a very simple life outside of his car addiction. Some might call him a bit of a self promoter, but ultimately a nice fellow. Yes, he works for the fruit company, and has for a very long time.

I think his other older F-cars are red.

Default Yeah, that is Kevin E...

He also has a red and a yellow older V8 Ferrari as well. His 430 is painted Smurf Blue... same as the Miata. He tracks his cars quite a bit. He is very involved in the nor Cal Ferrari Club. He is a long time emp at Apple since the extremely early days... however, his new license plate frame reads Apple Emp #:6319 or something... I think it was a joke.
