My Friend Josh Cartu Bought a FERRARI PISTA PILOTI!

[@Shmee150]

It's been a while since I caught up with Josh Cartu and given he just added a Ferrari Pista Piloti to the stable, that sounded like the perfect reason to visit Budapest! Join us to go for a drive, chat about the Gumball 3000 and check out his private jet too!

I'm confused. Tim kept talking about the Where's Shmee tour as if he was on a Where's Shmee tour. I haven't noticed that starting. All recent videos have been of his cars or car manufacturers he's visited. Nothing about a tour.

[@valentinvas6454]

Well.. It looks like your friend and his brothers might be huge scammers...

[@superfast30]

Yup...$233 million dollar scheeme. I can't say im surprised as very few "high rollers" you see on youtube etc are truly legit! The Ontario securities commission is investigating. Ultimately, they wont be charged criminally but if they are found guilty by the commission, they will be bared from trading securities and derivatives. They basically lied to a bunch of investors in Ontario Canada as to where they operate out of, their real names amongst other info to obscure their connection to companies they owned. There are more people that invested money but various countries have different laws. The US for example has charged at least 12 people criminally for doing something similar. Isreal has yet to do so which is where the brother operate out of. Shady AF!

[@oneandonlyflow]

[@MartinRichardi]

Do you know what happened to him?

[@vishnoyv4377]

@@MartinRichardi bit late but it seems he and his brothers made their money through a massive "scampire" company which basically defrauded hundreds of clients while they lived large off their investments. Jonathan and David, his brothers, have basically been found guilty, but somehow there's not enough evidence to connect Josh to the business, even though he doesn't really have another recorded form of income.

[@TheTmat007]

I like the front and rear end design of the 488 Pista. But the side profile throw off the design, in my opinion. I prefer the overall deign of the 458 (especially the Speciale). But, I will still rather own the Pista, because of it performance.

[@piotrpix]

He's a scam artist. Google a little bit about his businesses.

[@tbn22]

Tbh I don't really care whether or not he inherited his wealth, or built a real business and sold it for a fat check. The fact of the matter is, my idea of success and cars and everything has changed drastically since last year. 5 years ago I was ready to sacrifice everything to get behind the wheel of a Ferrari like that, but having tried, again and again, to make that dream a reality without any success at all, I have seriously started questioning if it really is worth the price you pay in mental health and time. People who drive Ferrari's or any supercar tend to (obviously) be driven and ambitious people who want to achieve career goals over anything else in life, and that is good! My situation, I have found, is (and it grieves me deeply) that I am in no way mentally equipped to do what is required to start a real business and manage huge amounts of orders and money. life is too precious to waste away working like you're gonna die tomorrow. I don't want to live a life where money, career and position dictate who I am. I just want a nice quiet life without worrying about money. Where I can be myself without the world sticking its nose into it. I know I may sound pessimistic, and perhaps It just grieves me that some people are naturally driven in their careers... Maybe sometime in the future, I might get the idea for a business that will provide for a greater cause while simultaneously making me rich, but I strongly suggest that people think twice before sacrificing their mental and physical health for a material object that will be forgotten sometime in the future.

[@markhood6654]

the only thing that felt like my s2000 was a Ferrari! thats quite a compliment to just how good, Honda actually are at making N/A engines!

[@patrickpelletier6315]

Well the original NSX pretty much forced Ferrari to redesign their cars because it made them look very bad for maybe half the price

[@RRR_Motorsports]

The s2000 is loved by many Alround great car for the price

[@smminco]

And not just the engine, but the whole package. It was like driving a go kart. The chassis and suspension were spot on, the shift throw was perfect. That car really was ahead of it's time

[@spyrospets5813]

Budapest is one of my favourite cities. Unluckily, we didn't have much time to explore her, but hopefully we'll be back some time. As for the Gumball, I'm really curious about what car will Josh bring, but I agree that several roads in Greece are shit, so...

[@EA40]

One thing to add: Josh is correct that in the US you can't quite get the harnesses as seatbelts here. The American transport agency (NHTSA) will consider a new car with those belts as a racecar, so such belts are invalid. That's a huge reason why the Mercedes-BENZ CLK DTM of the mid-2000s is allowed here under a show-and-display exemption; it only has harnesses as seatbelts. Same thing with roll bars and roll cages standard from the factory, which is why Porsches never arrive from the factory to US dealers with such kit. That said, you can add in harnesses (and roll cages) legally, and the harnesses WILL count as valid seat belts if police try to ticket you for it. Strange, eh?

[@Shmee150]

It's very complicated that's for sure, thanks for the clarification
