    The rules don't apply to everyone. Hopefully someone keys it.

    Saw this car a few days back. Massive options, but perhaps the most homely car color ever conceived. Never thought I'd call a 458 ugly, but this comes awful close...what a shame.

    Sure hope no one on the forum has a car this color, if so, apologies in advance.

    With a big caveat that I've never seen this color in person I disagree with W. MITTY; I think it's gorgeous based on the photos and the car as a whole is wonderfully spec'd.

    I usually like lighter colours, but Vinaccia is not a bad choice if you're going for something dark. I'd definitely take it any day before black.

    Anyway I love to see these rare colurs and applaud those who dare to choose something different!

    A friend of mine is a single mum, so to give her boy a bit of 'guy' time I bought him a radio control 458 and then took him to my dealer to show him the real thing. They had three in at the time along with other such yumminess as a 288GTO and 599GTO so it was a pretty good couple of hours for the kid.

    When I got back and looked at the pictures I figured out why, despite thinking the 458 is the best looking Ferrari ever, I still don't like it in pics for the most part. When I took the pics I got down low, as most people do. And that's where it all goes wrong for me. It's suddenly occurred to me that the full beauty of the 458 is to be seen from a natural standing position, so eyes at somewhere between five and six feet. And now I've had that thought I've realised that the pics where the 458 looks best for me are the ones that are taken from a standing position. So there we go, mystery of the 'difficult' front end solved! Lol!

    That's so nice of you! Nice picture...he seems happy. Did you take him for a ride in your Ferrari?

    I'm temporarily Ferrari less at the moment. I'm working practically 24 hours a day at the moment and the odd hour I can squeeze myself away from my computer I want to spend with my 5 year old, so an expensive Italian car (F430) just sitting in the garage doing nothing is like a big pile of money smouldering away in the background. It just had to go. I'll be back in an F-Car next year, though, when all the work madness calms down.

    Yeah, his mum said he didn't stop rabbiting on about it for two days afterwards. And now he's chasing the cat around the house with the remote control 458! Lol!

    Shame I didn't have my car to give him a blast, though. My usual trick is to pick up friend's kids from school so that all their friends see them getting into an F430. They dine out on that for weeks afterwards. :)

    I agree! I wasn't a fan until I saw a white one on the road, I couldn't believe how much I liked it compared to pictures.
