agenthelios1 one of my friend's father has a nice F430 Spider and every time that I see him driving it, he is wearing a Ferrari t-shirt or a Ferrari watch. And another friend's dad has a 360 Spider and he (my friend) is always wearing Ferrari watches. So...it's not always for posing
arcadeuk It is. And to add to the question about the numbers 1-7: it's the different states of charging, from checking the state of the battery to trickle charging.
Looks like they do Maserati, BMW, Lamborghini, Audi and Alfa Romeo as well, amongst others, BMW clearly don't think you are spending enough money when you buy a 7 series though, as they didn't include one. It's listed in the official accessories brochure though for twice the price as a standard CTEK branded one of the same model. Glad I kept the one from the Merc, it was really good, though the BMW does not eat batteries like my older W211 used to, so I've not had to use it yet
The yellow thing in the toolkit is to hold the spider top closed in the event you need to do a manual emergency closing since the latches wouldn't engage. It goes on the outside of the rear window. And the big torx is to unbolt the rear calipers if you aren't able to release the parking brake (Don't do it or you'll need to replace them!)
Hehe you know its right when it just makes you smile. Granted, more normal vehicles, but on our newer vehicles, we tend towards WeatherTechs made to fit floor mats. You might give them a call and see if they have a 488 one ready, or might even get a video off getting them made as not seeing 488 listed on their site yet. Been solid and well made, perfect fit on our vehicles.
It puts the windows up because you started with the windows up. If you want to open the top and have it leave the windows down, start with the windows down.
rob, I think you are a champion. you are cool shit and come off as an average guy who is making some really smart decisions. Getting to do what you love everyday must be awesome.
FYI, Rob not a Ferrari expert so you may have already looked into this but this is probably a programmable preference setting that you can turn off so it leaves them down. It is probably done that way as default because drop tops tend to be hard to hear conversations in with the windows down. Let me know if you find any such preference settings for the windows. :)
Damn, $382,239 sticker price. That's over $400,000 with taxes. That's a lot in my world, but if you r rich, it's like buying a Toyota. Did you buy or lease?
For the carpet, why not just cut a section of basic carpet to fit? That's what Kris does with his Veneno down here, and I'm assuming with the other cars too. Even thought about doing that for mine after I freshen up the interior. Cheap, protects the OEM carpet, works.
I can confirm that, at least in the US, front license plates are required by law to at least be available for any sold vehicle. In some states a front license plate is required. It's stupid but I imaging it makes it easier to identify the car from traffic cams and by police.
0hn0haha not exactly. I live in WA state, and cops often still give you a ticket even if you try to "loophole" the front plate rule. either put it kn or don't. simple.
The funnel is for filling with a jerry can. Cause there should be an anti syphon mechanism, so the funnel bypasses it. That's the way it works on Fords anyways
I love how new cars (even common cars) now I'm home with inflators instead of spare tires because we all know it's so easy to add air to a blown out tire... Cutting costs at every step they can (which I understand but still)
Rob that charger is made by CTEK they make chargers for just about every car there a great company I have one for my tractor. The 1-7 is the charge stages it does some battery checks and slowly ramps up the power and tapes off to a maintenance mode.
i plan to buy a 2015 ferrari 458 or ferrari california in january/February, do you think these are good ferraris? plan to spend a max of 195k.. which would be more bang for the buck? i need help because this will be my first exotic and entering a world of ferrari is an eyeopener..
AKF .gaming I'm 18. It's not so easy. Especially since I'm on a limited driving permit. Last ticket I paid required my license to be suspended. Guess I'll just lawyer up.
Samuel Bonorden I know there's no way my case is getting dropped unless the state trooper doesn't show. I need the speed reduced significantly. I wish I could do that but the judge in my city is hard on speeding so I'm going to have to take it to state court. I plan on lawyering up and pushing the court date until my license becomes Unsuspended. My court date is for a few months, so I have some time.
My normal, non-Ferrari 100EUR battery charger also has numbers on it, 8 I believe. It´s just how charged/discharged the battery is. If I´m not mistaken the higher the number the lower the Amps the charger sends to the battery, just to keep it topped off and not continuesly send maximum current trough the battery. At least that´s what I think, can´t guarantee it.
I got the mods4cars module for my 458 spider, and I can now operate top while moving, it keeps windows closed when top opens, it turns it into a 1 touch operation, and I can now open and close top from outside car. Definitely worth 300 bucks for my 458.
superspeedersRob I have a whole thread with video etc on Ferrarichat on this topic. Thread is titled: "Anybody know anything about this for 458 spider?" Link is here: r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eferrarichat%2Ecom%2Fforum%2Fshowthread%2Ephp%3Ft%3D533999&share_tid=533999&share_fid=9080&share_type=t
Inside the pocket of the tool kit theres supposed to be a large photo of Sergio Marchionne wearing the Scumbag Steve hat and the caption "LOL! What you gonna fix with this shit, fam?!"
I don't understand why some people leave their spare keys inside the car. That is so stupid. What would you do if your car is locked and you lose your main key???
Rob, what is your stance on vehicle insurance for your personal vehicles? I assume you get top of the line full coverage for everything for your high end cars, but the volt is just average insurance? How much is insurance for exotic cars?
Rob doesn't have a great record in terms of speeding and wreckless driving, however he certainly has many cars, assuming he goes with the same provider.
Doug likes front plates for safety and security reasons. Obviously they don't look great on low slung cars but wouldn't you agree they serve a important purpose?
Völundr Frey Exactly. It's less secure, in a way. The plate is like a visible prisoner ID number, so you can be tracked everywhere. Not so secure in my humble opinion. And Colin, how much do you really trust cops? I mean, in the US, they shoot everyone (no matter the skin color, common myth), in the UK they take 5 years to respond to Middle Eastern rape gangs in Rotherham because they're afraid of being called racist, and everywhere, they "can't" find stolen items, including TV's cars, etc. Only if your car is stolen by a moron thief or joyrider will plates help catch them.
What is the rubber piece that looks like its not properly fitting when the hood is open? Just below the windshield wiper. 1 of the 4 corners is not on properly.
Most of these cars must use the same type of battery trickle charger. My friends SLS has the same thing with that same quick release magnet attatchment
When you hit 600k subscribers, give away your ferrari
and give away your house at 1m
Dennis Vu at this pace give away the wife at 2 million and the business at 3 million
and kidneys at 1.5m
Then after all this, give away your socks and your sleeping bench at 10M
Dennis Vu then for 13 MIL give away your life
pay $400,000 for it, drive it for 2 years then sell it for $450,000
not on a 488, more like sell it for $200k max
If by drive it, you mean, put a few hundred miles on it and let is sit otherwise..... lol then yes, that makes sense.
GhostlyRemains more like 45.000
he said something like that in one of his older videos about the 458 italia
Camilo Botero Carrizosa is there any 2-years old Ferrari with price tag of 45k? can u show just one of them
Almost 400k car and puts in eBay floor mats Rob ur fkn awesome man
"Cause you just bought...a rolling house." This man's razor sharp wit always makes me smile.
Mostly people without Ferrari's have Ferrari clothes/accessories...
+agenthelios1 I can see how people would wear it because they want others to believe that they have a ferrari, but maybe they just like the brand
agenthelios1 one of my friend's father has a nice F430 Spider and every time that I see him driving it, he is wearing a Ferrari t-shirt or a Ferrari watch. And another friend's dad has a 360 Spider and he (my friend) is always wearing Ferrari watches. So...it's not always for posing
that 488 just makes people happy from looking at it, good buy.
The happiness of this men about this car is all shown at 0:09 , just look at how happy he is :) makes me happy haha
So cool, simple but beautiful lines on the 488. Enjoy it Rob
The battery charger looks exactly the same as the CTEK I had with my Merc. Looks like everyone just re-brands the same charger
arcadeuk It is. And to add to the question about the numbers 1-7: it's the different states of charging, from checking the state of the battery to trickle charging.
arcadeuk I have the same one for my C7 as well.
of course all made in china
Looks like they do Maserati, BMW, Lamborghini, Audi and Alfa Romeo as well, amongst others, BMW clearly don't think you are spending enough money when you buy a 7 series though, as they didn't include one. It's listed in the official accessories brochure though for twice the price as a standard CTEK branded one of the same model. Glad I kept the one from the Merc, it was really good, though the BMW does not eat batteries like my older W211 used to, so I've not had to use it yet
that thing is for cars that not use very often right??
because my fiesta and my yaris don't have this shits and never have battery problems xD
This is the best looking convertible I've ever seen
Dear cameraman,
Do you ever get to drive any of Rob's fancy cars?
+TopDawg e he doesn't even have a license yet.
superspeedersRob Wow, lucky to be around cars like that at that age. Personally my favorite is the Supra.
That's a really nice spec on that Ferrari, tan leather with Daytona seats with the red inlets in a red exterior, that a true Ferrari!
The yellow thing in the toolkit is to hold the spider top closed in the event you need to do a manual emergency closing since the latches wouldn't engage. It goes on the outside of the rear window.
And the big torx is to unbolt the rear calipers if you aren't able to release the parking brake (Don't do it or you'll need to replace them!)
+Todd Simone thanks. Had a few parking brake failures on 458s

Is it not worth more if you leave it in the box?
Love it!! I think the 458 speciale looks better but this one is crazy too
there both nice looking cars
"Front plate, it's a dumb law." Can I like this video more than once? :D
I unbox model cars. You unbox real cars. Also I like how you sag your pants.
Glad your enjoying it!!!
Beautiful car, Rob.
for front plate in EU is for speeding cameras, to give you tickets for you :D
you guys know doug has a blog on auto trader / oversteer
Pat check out his collumn on auto trader
Now this is better than Unboxing Therapy

probably the most beautiful car in the world currently.
scrolling through channels im subbed to watch a vid b4 i sleep....saw the ferrari and clicked right away :-)
Great car. congratulations!
Damn, $382,239 sticker price. That's over $400,000 with taxes. That's a lot in my world, but if you r rich, it's like buying a Toyota.
Did you buy or lease?
Alberta is nice in the no front plate law
Skatch is the same.
JMGRICH what about bc?
Zainzy BC has to have front plates
Ben damn
Ontario also has to have front plates.
With the Gotham Dream Cars sticker it looks like the Ferrari is a company car and not your personal vehicle :P
+alcaponed16 never miss a promo opportunity
Definitely! Hey if I win the BMW I'll promote the shit out of you :D
i couldn't agree more when you said " a rolling house". lol
Hell with that Ford GT. :-)
Its Ctek battery charger showing around 7 steps how the charger maintains and studies your battery condition.

Put it in the window. Perfectly legal.
0hn0haha not exactly. I live in WA state, and cops often still give you a ticket even if you try to "loophole" the front plate rule. either put it kn or don't. simple.
In Ohio where I live it is required. I've always had one but friends of mine have had mixed results not running a front license plate.
Clorox Bleach I live in Wa too.
Luckily in Cali we don't even care lmao even though it is required

Would that be worth more than what you bought it for, if you didnt drive it and left it sitting for 5 to 7 years
You can unbox my banged up Tercel if you want :D
Aw sweet, he brought up Doug DeMuro. Love that dude
i plan to buy a 2015 ferrari 458 or ferrari california in january/February, do you think these are good ferraris? plan to spend a max of 195k.. which would be more bang for the buck? i need help because this will be my first exotic and entering a world of ferrari is an eyeopener..
the California is more family oriented, while the 458 is sportier and will be faster and drive better. your choice however i'd chose the Italia
GhostlyRemains california is cheaper, between 95-140k, 458 is 160-300k.. hmm
I never said anything about pricing... hmm
GhostlyRemains well there is a price gap between the 2.
what about a 430? I think they look better than most of the newer ferraris. also the 360 is super cheap now
Got pulled over going 100 in a 65 by a state trooper. Any idea on getting out of it? All help is welcome.
singletxguyforfun Jeff Stacey told him my dogs got out. Only reason I'm not in fucking jail.
just pay it...

Does it have a nose-lift like on Mclarens or higher up Lambos?
Sneaky sneaky shivam

Timothy B the charger he shows is just a CTEK brand charger but with ferrari sticker over it, same in the bentley's same charger different sticker :p
ican18 Yeah now that you mention it mine is a Ctek too. Probably exactly the same but without the stickers offcourde.
I got the mods4cars module for my 458 spider, and I can now operate top while moving, it keeps windows closed when top opens, it turns it into a 1 touch operation, and I can now open and close top from outside car. Definitely worth 300 bucks for my 458.

I would always go for black/dark carpets in a car. So much more sustainable
What is the yellow plastic thing on the toolkit? Looks like some kind of flimsy jack
i always like the 458 but this 488 i use to hate it but now im kinda liking it more, cool
Hey Rob are you ever going to take your 488 spider on any bull runs any time soon if not what car would u take.
you are in nj or ny. what do you do with the rentals? drill the bumpers or register in a single plate state?
they also rent in florida and california so they're probably registered there.
or just do it the illegal way with the rentals.
+balázs H No law for front plates in Florida
I like the red 430 in the background too.
When I rented the F430 a few weeks ago the top was very finicky. Wondered what it would cost to fix it....$40k?! Holy shit dude
Just ordered a shirt can't wait to get it!
+Andy's Videos thanks
It's a beauty. Would have loved to see it arriving on the truck.

Funny thing for you there: In Germany the tire inflation kit has an expire date, you have to buy a new one every 2 years :D
But, has it got bumper to bumper warrenty?

Doug likes front plates for safety and security reasons. Obviously they don't look great on low slung cars but wouldn't you agree they serve a important purpose?
For what security reasons?
Völundr Frey like cops being able to identify cars without a clear picture of the back of the car
Why would you want that?
***** That equates to security reasons?
Völundr Frey Exactly. It's less secure, in a way. The plate is like a visible prisoner ID number, so you can be tracked everywhere. Not so secure in my humble opinion. And Colin, how much do you really trust cops?

Is the pouch not for the owner's manuals? Looks similarly sized.
Hardtop or convertible the 488 is the best looking modern Ferrari. IMO
I changed wipers on a Ferrari once. I kept the official Ferrari packaging they came in because I thought it was cool.
Love your videos man, keep them up. Still not sure why I didn't get 4 entries when I bought a shirt from your link?
nice video did you put paint protection film on your ferrari??😊😊
is it worth buyng a ferrari or other super cars, when u know ur gonna sell it or is rental cars better?
Depends on the car. He researches and tries to only buy cars that appreciate over the years.
Rob can you please talk about the other NSX's in the garage?
I like how they throw in all that stuff
unboxing..hmm. but its worth more if you keep it in box :D
Sell all the accessories is came with and you'll have enough to buy another 360. (I'm joking of course lol) nice video
What is the rubber piece that looks like its not properly fitting when the hood is open? Just below the windshield wiper. 1 of the 4 corners is not on properly.
Most of these cars must use the same type of battery trickle charger. My friends SLS has the same thing with that same quick release magnet attatchment
You just bought a rolling house :D
The thing you though had to do with the transmission is a "intelligent" battery charger, (Ctek mxs 10).
supersuccessfulRob,,\ bad ass car, love the targa/convertible design.
Spaghetti Rob!
That is a c-teck charger with a sticker on it. The lights are for the different stages of charging and floating the battery
Nice honda is it stick?
Red NSX looks clean
Can you open and close the top while driving? I imagine you are on the road and rain is coming up. It should be possible to close right :D?
Benjamin Such yes he said you can do it up to 28 mph
Hey Rob, is that a Panerai flyback you are wearing?
like for doug demuro 👍
