    I love how modest yet proud this guy is. You rarely get that balance of humility and TRUE passion with someone who clearly has FU money. Very cool collection. Reminds me of the Simione collection in Philly. (RIP Dr Simione)

    Definitely the best "Meet Your Heroes" moment ever. Just imagining the depreciation on tutting an immaculate F40 around, but damn am I glad they drive it!
    Also pretty sure that #6 is Michael's 90s era CART car. Those things were absolute beasts, too. 940hp, 2.6L turbo machinations. Muah!

    I can’t even describe how much respect I have for Mr Marconi, getting to see the experience that you were so fortunate to be part of is amazing. His passion, humility and personality is just evident in the work he and his family gives back to the community is outstanding. Seeing how speechless you were in the Cuda and then in the jaw dropping F40 is written all over your faces, thank you Shawn for sharing as always!

    F40 is the rarest of the rare.. I've only seen 1 in my lifetime..The car was at a winery car show and it was clean but it looked like the owner actually drove it..He even had a small amount of curb rash on 1 of the rims with a bit of road grim...I could do nothing but respect it. It's a car that really needs to be driven. That's what it was made for...👍🏽🏁

    The F40 - to me - is not only the ultimate Ferrari but also - in my opinion - the first iteration of the hyper car. You're right when you stated that no matter what style of car as person enjoys predominately, the F40 is appreciated by all. Even though I'm a muscle car guy, I do enjoy all cars and so I hope more exotic cars are exhibited on this channel. Best car channel on youtube; I've been a regular since approximately 230k subs.
