Only problem was it wasn't that comfortable, it was built extremely poorly (squeaked, groaned, and seemed loose... WAY more than the average cheap chair I've sat in) - and it cost $4,500!!!

Maybe it WAS a Ferrari chair.

Italian cars aren't known for material or assembly quality.

Material quality, yes. (Dream engines, Brembo brakes, Italian leather...)

Assembly quality, no.

I wonder what “Over priced “ Ferrari service needs to be done on this thing????
Every 1500 feet you take it in to have the “air rotated in the tires”, Back-flux the flux-capacitor……?????

Did you read the Post? NYC actually has a law against riding these!!! Insanity. People choose a method of transportation that creates no emissions, no need for taxi or train, and has no parking requirements and the city STILL disallows it!

Don't confuse material quality with quality from a sporting prospective. True, Ferrari drivetrains, brakes, chassis, etc....are some of the most enthusiast-oriented machinery available.......when they WORK. Ferraris have as much of a reputation of being repair-shop queens as they do being outstanding sports cars.
