    Truly a beauty! Absolutely love the S in black. But I'm not neutral.. Love the no stripes. The subtle ghost stripes drew me to mine.

    Congrats and enjoy in good health most of all. You're gonna be addicted. Been silent here for awhile dealing with back issues. Hoping to feel well enough to crack the tires this weekend ;)

    Little update, i always loved the Titan parts which Ferrari offered for the F430
    but unfortunately the oilstick doesn't fit the 458 serie.

    That was my knowledge after i bought my Italia.

    But today i saw a Speciale in the workshop from my dealer which got a oil change
    and in the office was a showcase with a Titan oilstick in it and so i tried it on the Speciale... :)
    It works! :D

    Only the marks for the oil level has to be edited... :)

    That 964 RS is gorgeous!
    It deserves its own photo shoot for sure.
    What great car...I would love to get a 964 Turbo-look someday..prefer the NA to the old turbocharger technology.

    Absolutely stunning - congrats on the "upgrade" my friend! Like everyone else, I would love to hear some personal thoughts between both cars now that you've had the best of both worlds! Enjoy!
