    Thanks.... this will be our 6th Prancing Horse. I started off with a 79-308 GTS, then a TR, took a break and then purchased a 360 F1 Spider, then to a 430 F1 Spider, then to a 2012 California. Now I am waiting for the California T.

    As you can tell, I am old (70) but not dead:) I have been so blessed by God throughout my This is just one small example of the gifts I continue to receive. Going to Church everyday for Mass has made all this happen

    Thanks again for the congrats. God Blessing on you and Family

    Thanks, and God Bless you too. I share your belief that God provides us with abundance; we simply have to ask and be willing to take the actions. I try to leave the outcomes up to Him.

    I have been an Aston Martin owner up until now. I got disillusioned with the local dealer and on a lark visited Ferrari of Houston back in January. I test drove the Cali T several times and the rest is history. My first Ferrari was delivered this past Tuesday. It has been undergoing paint correction detailing and getting wrapped in Xpel Ultimate. I was due to pick her up today but alas, during the PDI the driver's side seat belt retracting mechanism did not work and a new one is being shipped from Ferrari. The dealer can't legally release the car without working seat belts, nor would I want them to. But I am disappointed. These Fcars seem to bring out the little boy in many of us. All the best!!

    Wait, you are saying 2016 and not 2015?
    Is that right?

    I was told by my dealer they will not begin building the 2016 models until after the August break. I'm pretty confused at this point. Perhaps, my perceived dilemma over whether I am getting a 2015 (build starts before August) and a 2016 (build starts after August) isn't real and I can just relax over the whole thing.

    Your Dealer is BSing you. I have the
    Build Sheet from Ferrari showing 2016 as well as the
    Production data

    If you ordered a 16 then tell your Dealer I will execute when I get what I
    Ordered

    If you took a chance then you will end up
    with a 15. Unfortunately you are paying for a model year that is a year old compared to current production

    Amen, brother.

    But I wonder if our brother Snewton94024 here follows the same wise habit, or if he allows himself to be deceived by the evilness of some of nowaday's Dealers

    Oh, how I have sinned.
    Left the seminary after two weeks.
    No mass in 30 years.
    No wonder this is messed up.
    I will go tomorrow!

    Order sheet dated May 7 says 2015 model.
    Called my dealer on this.
    He said this year Ferrari factory not following prior years method.
    He checked today and my car is a 2016 after all.
    Only reason I wanted a 2015 was because I thought I would get it quicker.
    By 2-3 whole months earlier!
    Crazy from my sinning all these years.
    Can't keep a nickel in my pocket either.
    I just have to let it ride and practice some que sera, sera.
    Maybe I should look at some used 458 spyders.
    Whoops, more sinning.
    I am going to radio silence for a few months until I have something concrete to talk about.
    But, brother Chris you must know by now all of the changes from 2015 to 2016 so when are you going to give them up???

    Sbewtib94024, well I also left the seminary after just a few weeks. It was not my calling. Looking back, I know it was the right decision. Now I am married 47 years, 4 great children and 8 grandchildren.....

    As to Church, I did not go on a regular basis until I was 50. From then on every day! All I can say is drop by any Church, go in and just sit there. You don't have to say anything. He will tell you he still loves you and wants you to come back to his Home.

    I know of no one that is not a sinner. We all have made bad choices, hurt friends and well you know the rest. He does not care. All he wants is your sorrow for the mistakes, an effort to do His work on earth; helping those that are in need, and Praising him EVERYDAY.

    Don't worry about the Nickles in your pocket; that is His list of things to do for you. You can not imagine what he will give you; just do what i said above.

    You're added to my daily prayers at Church. God Bless

    Received my pics a little over a week ago. It was ordered mid April & is coming through as a 2016. Dealer said to expect it the end of August.

    I was also able to add vent seats to the build.
