Wow, I had no idea the picture was actually a portrait. You have successfully come across as a bit of a smug twat now, yes.

From the stares/man on street point of view, is it really that different driving an MC stradale through town as opposed to a 599? In stock form the MC will be louder as well. I'm sorry, but of these two cars, the slightly lower key ride would be the F car.

Thus unintentionally proving two points.

You write a post, delete it and try again? You're first post was better.

Indeed. It lived for only 30 seconds before I decided to take the high road, above your quest of condescension, and so I changed it. I mistakenly thought you might possess the humility to do the same. I have to say I'm amazed that you hung around for a half hour, hitting refresh, waiting for a response.

I have no further interest in helping you fill your personal voids.

You consider that the high road, yet still lashing out? I think you got yourself a little stuck on the definition of irony. Never mind, you've proved your aggressive, illogical stupidity that matches your lack of car knowledge.

God forbid that in the whole of humanity, or at least on Maserati Forum, two people could buy the same car and have different reasons for doing so. Attacking a fellow Forum member because they aren't 100% aligned with your world view seems to defeat the whole purpose of joining a forum like this. Just roll with it dude!

Woah guys off subject here! Yes I'm referring to the 2 seater mc stradale. Ps I only like 2 seaters on my sports cars... Also the less ppl in the car the less damage to the leather LOL. Truthfully I've already have the mc but was thinking whether or not to change it for a 599. I've put 3500 miles on it since July last year, so my mind is ticking!!!

Well IMO, we all love Maserati BUT, when it comes to the combination of style and performance, Ferrari is in a league of its own.

You should drive a 599 and compare. I suspect that you'll have a preference quickly.

I must be a strange cat to have a preference towards the 612 instead of the 599. For some reason, I never really cared for the shape of it when it replaced the 575(which I really liked).

Drive your car like it was meant to be driven. It may be a piece of art, but life is too short to just look at it sitting still.

I guess, but so is a 599 and an MC Stradale.

Omg, same here. Silver coupe, but yah. Soccer moms pass by it in the parking lot and tell their kids to stand far away as it "can bite you" and that it's "more than you can afford buddy."
