The model had some rings and a bracelet on and I told her to stand next to the car but don't touch it so it won't get scratched. He says go ahead anyways. Then he says he doesn't care if she leans up against it and she wants she can lay all over the hood. I laughed and said that hood would crumble up like tissue paper and he just shrugged it off.

He then said he had some business to take care of and asked if he could take my Jeep and left me the keys to the Testarossa and said if I needed to change locations just be careful when I shift the gears

In the end the shoot turned out to be a bust as the weather didn't cooperate and I didn't drive the Ferrari.

Anyways, of course hot cars and hot models go together. It just gets more complicated to make it happen.
Great story...Now where are the pics
