    Sneak peek. Will be listing my 599 shortly. I'd like to keep her, but I will feel better right now if I let her go and dream of the next hunt. I've spent the last year treating her like a queen. She's has the leather treated four times with leatherique, all the way to the base of the back window. She's received new front ball joints, new rear tie rods, and is in the shop now getting a new driver seat heater and climate control console, typical stuff but nice to have it all zero timed. DJ Mayo, DJ Mayo Studios did the paint buffing and sealing. Looks better than new. I took the car out and in the last half of the season won nearly every show I took her to. She's a gorgeous beast in great condition. I'll be listing her at $148k or so if I go consignment, but hopefully someone here will pick her up for $139k, firm.

    What! You are letting her go that quick. I thought you were going to keep this one for a while.

    I was planning on keeping this one forever, but things happen. We were chasing a major contract, one we were very confident we would win, and we didn't. Times like that you reevaluate what's important. We have a lots of irons in the fire, & I think business will be fine, but the chance of me landing the big win for the awesome retirement just went down. Just seems prudent to throw the extra coin at the college funds and what not right now.

    I'll post some pictures of the interior when I get a chance.

    Thanks, man. I have zero complaints coming. We're fine. It probably wouldn't be any hardship keeping her, almost surely wouldn't. but this loss kinda changed my outlook on things. Its just a car and I've had four of them.

    Sorry to see you list her. Was really hoping to see her at Hershey and JoeZaff's prom event at the end of April. GLWS, gorgeous color combination!

    I was thinking I would have time, fully expected I'd hit a couple events in the spring. I've never had a Ferrari sell overnight but I'm already getting PM's from fchatters. Don't know how to feel at the moment. My wife thinks I'm knee jerking. Probably right, but that doesn't make it the wrong thing to do.

    The deeper, richer looking photos are the actual color.

    She could be right. Easy to feel like a toy should go after losing a big deal.

    It's only a car. You'll get another one for sure. Good luck with the sale. We all know how well you take care of your cars so it's a no brainier if someone is looking for a great looking 599!

    Bordeaux Pontevecchio, if I've spelled that correctly.

    I know. We have two subk's that could ramp up this week and/or next. The pressure could alleviate rapidly, but then we have another contract we could lose based on the recompete later this year. Story of my life. Tough out there right now. Feel like cutting expenses.

    Wow... sorry to see you let go of her. At the end of the day, she is just a car and you will certainly find another when the time is right. :)

    Good luck with the sale.
