In late June Ferrari announced its newest street model, the California. While it borrows a lot of design from the Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder of the 50′s and 60′s, this baby has a lot of up-to-date stuff in it as well. With a 4.3-liter V-8 that produces 460 bhp and claims to go 62 in under 4 seconds! The California also has a retractable roof that can go from open to completely closed in 14 seconds.
It doesn’t appear the California will see the streets until 2010, but the good news, if you want to call it that is that it’ll be priced at about $180,000 — “well below” the $190,000 F430 which is Ferrari’s most popular model right now.
Read on about this amazing vehicle, which I want to drive.
It's not just a car, it's a switchblade.

view all photos from the weekend!
Last weekend was the annual trip to the Long Beach Grand Prix. It marked the last time the series known as “Champ Car” will be headlining the weekend. The Champ Car World Series is now defunct and some of the teams/drivers are joining the IRL. Next year we’ll see whatever the result of joining the two leagues will be. That will be exciting to have one open-wheel, but it was bittersweet a little bit as Champ Car had forged it’s own niche and was starting to develop a nice fan base. I’ll spare you the whole story about the guy behind the whole mess of splitting the big Indy car league into two leagues long ago, only to proclaim himself the hero this time around by taking credit for the merger. Blah!
For the weekend I just went on Saturday and Sunday this time, both with my Dad and Brother. We always have a great time. I snapped a ton of photos, but only uploaded a select few. Check’em out!
Monique took our baby girl up north to visit the masses for the long weekend. They made the huge journey by car — I’m usre that was one LONG trip! Both of them did great though, and I’m happy to have them home safe.
