    Hello all,

    This is my first post, and I'm please to report that I've just made a deal for my first Ferrari! It's a black/black 2005 F430 F1, and it's all stock except for a Capristo exhaust. I can't take delivery until Monday, so I'm now preparing for the longest weekend of my life. I'll tell you this though-- I drove the snot out of my M3 on the way home from the Ferrari store!

    I have to thank all of you FerrariChat folks for helping me become an educated buyer. I found answers to all of my questions simply by searching this forum. (Otherwise, I would have posted before now).

    Here's something you guys might be interested to know. The car will be certified under a product called "New Power 15." My salesman tells me this was introduced only in the last month or two, and it extends the available coverage period out to 15 years! I'm pretty excited to have that option.

    Cheers!

    There is a very active 360/430 sub forum so don't be a stranger there. In fact, be sure to introduce yourself on that one too.

    Troll post. No one has ever had all of their questions asked by searching FChat.
