    I'm very excited, I pulled the trigger on a 458 Italia. I'm keeping my F355 gated Spider and I will join the ranks of the multiple Ferrari owner. Hopefully I love the Italia as I love my F355. It is the last normally aspirated mid-engine Ferrari V8 after all and while the 360 and 430 didn't excite me that much, I've lusted for a 458 since they came out. I can post more pictures and my driving impressions when the car arrives. I have other cars in the stable as well, but this will be my first paddle shift car.

    I too want a 458 (and 599) :)

    Congrats!!!

    I brokered a 458 for my buddy - this car will blow your mind when you drive it. When you pull the paddle to go from 1st to 2nd - hang on - it's like a rocket :)
