00:36 - Whoa.

00:37 Whoa.

00:38 (laughing)

00:40 So good.

00:43 When you start going though,

00:49 you are getting the whoosh, whoosh, whoosh

00:51 of the turbos and God.

00:52 Super cool.

00:55 Oh my God, it's been five years

00:58 since I've driven a 458 Italia.

01:00 This is obviously the 488.

01:02 And okay, maybe there's not an opera singer

01:06 singing major chords behind my head

01:07 like there was with that flat plane V8,

01:10 but this twin turbo job's got way more push,

01:13 way more grunt, and just sublime.

01:18 Sublime car.

01:20 It's so good.

01:22 It's soft, yet steering is so direct.

01:26 Teeth aren't shaking out of my head.

01:28 Oh.

01:32 (engine revving)

01:33 Black leather seats, always a mistake,

01:35 especially in California.

01:36 I have a quote, of course, brown saddle leather

01:39 to match my preposterous, pretentious

01:41 Ferrari driving gloves.

01:42 Gotta have 'em.

01:43 Got the AC blowing cold.

01:51 And of course, PCH is an absolute parking lot.

01:54 Hey, man.

01:55 - Thank you so much.

01:56 - Hey, thanks for moving the car.

01:58 All right, you ready?

01:59 - Cool, yeah.

02:00 All right, let's go.

02:02 (laughing)

02:03 This is awesome.

02:05 Woo!

02:06 (laughing)

02:09 - All right, so 117 miles an hour, 108 miles an hour,

02:12 and then it's got very good brakes.

02:15 - Yeah, this week has been awesome.

02:16 I went on a Harley, and now I'm in a Ferrari.

02:18 - Nice!

02:19 - Yeah.

02:20 - Nice, which one's more fun?

02:21 - This one.

02:22 - All right.

02:23 (laughing)

02:25 (engine revving)

02:29 - Thank you again.

02:30 - Yeah, of course.

02:31 (engine revving)

02:34 Okay, complaints.

02:38 Boy, that even sounds good.

02:43 Brake pedal.

02:44 Yeah, maybe the, you should go drive a Porsche

02:46 and see how you get the brake pedal to operate

02:48 at the top 10% of the pedal travel,

02:50 not after about 25%.

02:53 But it stops just fine.

02:55 Throttle pedal is lovely.

02:59 I'm in race mode.

03:01 No, but seriously, this is really goofy.

03:05 (laughing)

03:07 Oh, I guess this is what happens

03:16 after you spend four days in a Nissan Murano.
