Today, we had the pleasure of viewing the Ferrari California unveiling live online.  Isn't internet great?  I don't have to fly out to Europe or wait hours later for the news… Ferrari took advantage of the web and presented its latest creation for our web viewing convenience.  Ferrari pres, Luca di Montezemolo, (yup, try saying that 10 times fast) introduced what he refers to as their newest "child", the new Ferrari California GT.  The audience also enjoyed a guest appearance from Michael Schumacher, who is like the Michael Jordan of Formula One. 

The design itself doesn't float my boat particularly, but I'm sure there are plenty of well-off fans out there who will add this to their hefty garage collection.  I'm more excited about the live unveiling.  It's exactly the same excitement I feel whenever Apple has a new announcement and avid live bloggers provide continuous coverage in real time.

Never mind the disappointing navigation used throughout the site, but something that stood out from clicking around aimlessly, is the California's unique retractable hard top.   Motorized parts are pretty fun – it's Transformers-ish.  Kind of, sort of, not really.   It's all right, I mean, for a Ferrari and all.
