    because I sold them both off to get myself this 612 OTO!!

    I loved my '06 612, sorted and accessorized it and never thought I'd sell it- and always admired the '89 last iteration of the 328 GTS and finally picked one up in Jan--- but when I came across this '10 612 OTO car, nothing else mattered.

    I've had a certain Black/Sabbia 2010 612 OTO as the screensaver on my computer and phone since it hit the showroom at Steve Harris Imports in Salt Lake City. It was EXACTLY the car I'd love to own if money was no object and I could have any car on the planet.

    I know there are far more exotic and perhaps cool cars out there, but this car was just what satisfied what I like in a car and just the way I'd do it if I ordered my own. I gawked at it online and contemplated somehow taking the plunge, then it was sold & disappeared (I was told to Canada, but now know that as untrue).

    So last month I'm online surfing cars and sure enough I run across this car in Miami. Looks like the one on my phone and computer screens.

    No wait...I copy and paste the VIN and do the Carfax.

    This doesn't just look like the car on my screens, it IS the car on my screens!

    Maybe I took a little haircut hurrying out of my other 2 cars, and maybe I paid a lot. And maybe not, because I've seen OTO's out there asking way more and way less, but when you know it's the right car for you, you just do what you have to do to get into it, and this is what I've always wanted.

    I'm truly ecstatic, even thrilled.

    What a level of improvement and finesse, evolution and elegance, over my previous 612 . It's truly a four seat 599 HGTE car. I mean this thing with HGT2 sounds, performs, shifts and handles like the hottest F cars, yet coddles and delivers you in the most unbelievable Gentlemanly manner. A true GT car with capability and composure like I've never had the pleasure to experience.

    I don't know what i was thinking over the last 5 to 7 years, but since I loved my last 612 so much, I should've found myself an OTO sooner!

    I see plenty of people sharing their excitement over newly acquired cars, and I'm Happy to be one of them now. I find her Beautifully Stunning and she has all the Goodies to boot. Take a gander at her and I hope you all appreciate her as much as I do.

    Thanks for L@@king ;)

    Very nice.

    I used to own an '87 328 GTS and '83 Boxer. Wished I hadn't sold the 328 and hated the Boxer.

    My 07 612 could wipe the streets up with either. Still, I expect the current insane prices on 308 / 328 cars to come back down to Earth at some point. So, I assume you got a great deal on the sale of your 328.

    Enjoy your 612 OTO and thanks for the story.

    When and if you decide to sell, give those of us on Fchat a shot at it first.

    Congratulations! Love your car and your story. I am really enjoying my 06 612 HGTS and am afraid to drive an OTO or I will want one! Enjoy it and put a lot of miles on her over the summer.

    That interior is PERFECT! That's simply fantastic. I'd be content just sitting in the car and studying the beauty.

    Congrats, enjoy and take more pics! :)

    Thanks to ALL of you for all the kind words and well wishes.

    Only 5900 miles- I feel like I got a new car

    And it was located local to my significant other too, so there's got to be some destiny issue here

    I couldn't be more Happy, and couldn't think of a better place to share the news than with a bunch of guys who love these models as much as myself

    Again- Thanks to All of you for the commentary and Thanks to the BIG Guy upstairs for this OTO blessing ;)
