    I love the colour combinations. BTW, did you swap in those 21" ADV5.0 wheels... transparent gunmetal centres?

    Looks great! Do you know if it was lowered on the stock springs or aftermarket springs? Congrats on the new car!

    Thanks for the photos and correction. Beautiful! I'm shopping for new wheels and it's great to actually see the wheels on the same car. ;)

    Let her warm up first with each drive, then drive it like you stole it. I think it took me six months to get really comfortable with the acceleration rate and know how and when to manage the power, with daily driving. Have fun, that is what Ferrari's are made for :). Don't worry about putting miles on it, that will be the next guys problem.

    Rick...I assume you mean keep the RPMs low and car in comfort mode during initial driving, until the engine gets to temp, and then switch the mannetino to Sport or CST-OFF mode? This is what I do in my 911. Can you switch the mannetino while the Cali is moving? Or, must the car be stationary?
    Thanks, and apologies for the mild thread hijack.

    Great looking car, OP...T
