My favorite rally to date is still the 2006 Bullrun NY LA, there is something about the east to west


If there was one dream job guys wish for, it would be being able to walk into work everyday and be greeted by several million dollars worth of exotics car rental military discount at your disposal. Luckily, this dream is real for Rob Ferretti, co-founder of Gotham Dream Cars, the nations most exclusive exotic car rental company. We sit down with Rob as he shares his secret to success story on how only a few years ago with a hundred bucks to his name, he seized opportunity when it presented itself.
I m 30 years old, I grew up in Dumont, NJ a few miles outside of NYC. I own Ferretti Productions whose primary product car rental military discount is the Super Speeders DVD series, which I star in. When I am not shooting, editing, or promoting the DVD series, I am running Gotham Dream Cars. I ve been working with Gotham since the company was started in 2003 and share ownership with Noah Lehmann-Haupt who came to me with the seemingly wacky idea of renting exotic cars in 2003.
I am a graduate of Saddle River Day School in Northern NJ, that s about as long as my degree list goes. I put in 4 years of college between Gettysburg College in PA and Ramapo College in Northern car rental military discount NJ. I left voluntarily without seeking to get my degree. I wouldn t recommend this approach to anyone looking for a job, but I left after making the decision that I didn t want to work for anyone and wanted to run my own business.
No interest. College is not the social strainer that it used to be and a college degree has become expected like the high school degree has been for many decades. When I interview people for jobs there is usually very little correlation between their degree and their qualifications and ability to do the job they are applying for. You can quickly tell who took school seriously car rental military discount and who is just 4 years behind the rest of the applicant pool.
I met Noah at a Ferrari show in Central NJ, that was the first time I met him and he started talking to me about his desire to start an exotic car rental company. When I told him about our small group drives which we called fun runs he said he wanted to come with his Jetta. I told him that wouldn t be a great idea. When he bought the Ferrari 360 that he started the company with, he showed up to a drive and learned why I had said that.
Business is going well, the company is continuing to grow as it has since its inception. I see the exotic car rental business in a much different light then others, if you treat it like a business its possible to grow and succeed, if you don t you will go out of business within a year. Renting exotic cars is a viable business model but it requires much more attention and effort then other businesses that would yield the same revenue.
Not as glamorous as you would think. I didn t drop out of college to chase a great idea. I just felt like I wasn t able to get anything car rental military discount more out of school, and that the degree wasn t something that was going to carry me through life, so I stopped going. I had less then a years worth of credits left to graduate, most of which were requirements that I kept putting off that didn t interest me. I started my own production company after I created my first DVD Life After the 1/4 mile . That allowed me to test the waters before diving into an unfamiliar market and displayed an opportunity that I could peruse. With that Super Speeders was born.
Super Speeders has been great, it is more fun then I can possibly make it look on camera. I watch raw footage from years ago and it brings me back to these amazing memories that I ve created traveling the country and driving amazing roads in some of the greatest cars ever built or modified. The DVDs have and continue to open doors for me, connecting me to people I wouldn t have otherwise met, and taking me to places I wouldn t have otherwise traveled.The videos are great because it displays stuff I would do whether or not the cameras are on. It s the dream that everyone wants, to enjoy what you do.
Yes, we were enjoying cars whether or not cameras were present, seeing the beginning of internet videos pop up of some amazing car related stuff is what made me decide to pick up a camera and record what we do. Never expected it to grow to this point with such little effort. I am just starting to treat it more like a business, so expect bigger things from Super Speeders in the months and years to come.
Side film projects car rental military discount of which I do a few per year. For television networks, private companies, etc. Super Speeders is the main product of Ferretti Productions which accounts for 85% of what the company does.
I don t measure achievements by monetary gain or out performing someone else. My greatest achievement is being able to grow up not following the herd and forging my own path to become a unique person. Being able to rationally think through any situation and come up with a logical solution has been the key to me achieving the level of professional and personal success I ve experienced thus far.
I feel I am on the outskirts of success and I m enjoying life and any of the opportunities that come up along the way. I define true success as working by choice, and with my desired lifestyle. car rental military discount I have years before I get to that point. Seeing as 10 years ago I was driving an 88 Bonneville, caddying at a golf course, and living in my parents basement with less then $500 to my name, I see that I ve made good progress thus far while acknowledging a lot more effort is required to get where I want to be.
Driving a Lamborghini Gallardo back from NYC in the snow. The snow ended up getting so high that the nose of the car was plowing the way. I had a lot of fun, and it must have been quite the sight to see.
Along the same lines, I have 2 Range Rovers as everyday cars, my wife and I each drive one. I have 2 fun cars my ~800 rwhp race car/street car rental military discount car c5 Corvette and my 1998 Single turbo Supra which makes 923 RWHP conservatively running 32 lbs of boost on a 76 mm turbo. Obviously I like to spin tires and slide down any given road sideways. Both cars are purpose built to go fast, but the Supra only has 18,000 car rental military discount miles on it so I don t drive it much to keep the value high. I help restrain myself by only running C-16 race gas in the car that costs ~$18/gallon, which really makes the trip to the store more expensive then you want. I recently car rental military discount just added a 2000 Cobra R to the stable as well.
My favorite car rental military discount rally to date is still the 2006 Bullrun NY LA, there is something about the east to west cross country route that makes for a great drive. The landscape changes dramatically each day and the best driving comes later in the week, when the roads are more open, the drivers are more courteous, and the police car rental military discount are more scarce.
