Chicago Ferrari for hire with 'That Guy'
Ever wanted to rent a Ferrari for a special event? If you're in the Chicago area, you can get just that – with a special twist. Lucky customers can not only have a specially customized Ferrari 360 Spider at their disposal, but they also get a night out with Tony Tag! You know Tony, right? No? He's the most photographed man in the country besides the President, at least according to his website. We figured this was just a late April Fool's joke, but tragically, it isn't.
The Ferrari is available for $300 an hour with discounts for multi-hour packages. Tony even gives lessons and lets you drive his gold-accented Ferrari. It's not just any 360, either. No, this one sports a 3.8-liter engine with 495 HP! We're crappin' you negative here, folks. If there's more than one of you, Tony has you covered with a late-model Cadillac for just $250/hr. But seriously, who wouldn't want to be seen with That Guy, doing some top-down motoring in a bewinged Ferr with gold-plated wheels? I mean, seriously. Hat tip to Zach!

If this were an Enzo, I wouldn't even flinch. For a 360, ehh probably not worth it. And I'm a huge Ferrari fan.

I know of this guy. I live in Chicago and you will see this guy parking this Ferrari at North Ave. beach all of the time. I could spot the gold rims from a mile away. I think he also used to own a restaurant that burned down a few years ago.

Yea, if you go out in Chicago you will ALWAYS see 'That Guy' around. For as much as he cruises, that car must have some serious miles on it!!

I couldn't believe it when I saw this posting! I've see him everytime I'm at North Ave beach taking what seems to be the same shirtless photoshoot.
He lives in Oak Park, when I was in HS I use to see him all over town in this car with a blonde in a bikini, stuck out against all the middle aged hippie housewives wearing hemp clothing and driving Volvo wagons.

I've seen him around for years. You can't miss him.
This is kinda sad, though. I bet he's scrambling to hold onto the Ferrari, and surely can't imagine driving a Hyundai. Even a red one.

Ive seen this guy around oak park a lot. I was always told he was a pornstar

First time I saw him was near the Belmont red line stop. I totally thought he was a drag queen, you know since thats in the Boystown area.
I'm gonna send this link to a few friends, we were just talkin about this guy the other night!

Yeah, I know I have seen this guy before driving around in the loop. He looks like a tool bag with this bleached out hear, leathery tanned skin and disgusting gold rims...

uhhh, why does his belt appear to be undone?? I'm scared... that's way more stallion than I can handle.

This a theme today? Getting a ferrari with that guy in it is strangely like getting a beautiful lotus gt with a toyota engine in it. Yuck.

I wouldn't do it, especially with him being topless.
It'd be like riding with Fabio, on a rollercoaster, and knowing that any second now... something is going to fly in his face... except with this guy, it's likely a pregnancy test from some street hooker who he knocked up.

this is funny to find this as soon as i opened autoblog.
I live in chicago and go downtown very often, i've seen this guy driving around this very ferrari quite often.
I never knew it was such a special 360. come to think of it, i've photographed his ferrari a couple times.

His website says "Service is For One Passenger Only" and he lists "Weddings" as one of the services... so... just the bride rides with him?

His hair and lack of shirt is going to give me nightmares.
I suppose the obvious thing to mention here would be that the "360" in "Ferrari 360" is derived from it being a 3.6 L engine. Although... if it was a 3.8 L that would make it a "one of a kind classic" like he says it is.
