I have a feeling that picking up my first ever Rolex, a 116618 LB on Monday, is going to feel exactly the same.
The 458 didn't come out till 2010...did you have the year or car wrong...

Congratulations. You did the right thing. I have a preference for NA motors, too, and the 458 is the last of the great road cars of all time. You have to go back to the McLaren F1 to find the next-to-last.

I envy you. But in a nice way.

I can hear Enzo thundering "Standing still is not what we do."

We want video of canyon carving, snaky river road running, hill climbing while running through the gears just under redline.

If you have a Ferrari and don't already have gigs and gigs of footage then please send keys to me and I will make you some home movies you can show your grandkids some day...

But in the meantime, a little autobahn music for your Sunday evening enjoyment.

I'm out of F-cars for good.

Couldn't stand the attention factor and only kept the 430 for 6 months........no one looked twice at my 25+/- previous Porsches, not even the 996 GT2.......but every drive in the F-car was a pain if I had to stop anywhere populated.

Love the new 488 GTB though........that is one sexy body on that car........luckily I can't afford it.

I have been a Tifosi since I began watching F1 back in the eighties, plus, the blood running through my veins is italian! But never bought italian, always American or German . So this is a new experience. Thanks

Thanks for the well wishes, you made me blush, in all honesty, I was hesitant to post this acquisition , I didn't want to come across a certain way. I am just a car nut first and a watch nut second. Still working on a third .
