    Congratulations, I am envious as I am without a ferrari at the moment and it is like losing an arm, its been 3 months and I hate missing my daily fix. Looks like a lovely car and the dealer/ seller posted great photos,wish they all would take the time to do this. It shows that they have nothing to hide I reckon you got a beautiful car.

    I know it!
    I already have paranoid images of the delivery guy taking her off the truck for a joy-ride!
    Damn, I hate the way my mind works.

    Not too many guys buy cars with "high mileage" Good on you. My 456 had 27.5k when I bought it. I hope you got a good deal on it (I did on mine).

    You will love it. Enjoy it and once you get the jitters over with, drive the hell out of it.

    That is drop dead gorgeous. I'm glad you got a six speed, as I think it gets you more involved with the car than paddles (which I really don't like that much). I've never driven a 550, but I've read they yield a tremendous driving experience.

    I think there's alot of good miles in your future.
