FF - Took the plunge and never happier!!

many know of my pursuit for a properly equipped pre owned FF. after having test driven and having borrowed the dealer's car many many weekends, I knew the car is just an incredible and misunderstood car!

So, I finally but the bullet and bought an amazing Grigio Silverstone over cuoio 2012. Ferrari of Atlanta and Scott provided icing on an amazing experience. I haven't ventured from my local dealership for quite some time and I was very very impressed with their customer centric approach!

For those who haven't driven the FF, I must say you are missing the greatest driving experience in a modern Ferrari. I've owned a TON of ferraris and none holds a candle to the excitement, sounds, fun, laughs, usability and utility of the FF. how much a paradox is it to enjoy your favorite passion while driving along with three other people in the comfort of this car?? Or feeling comfortable enough to enjoy it for the simple drive to the grocery store? Or not feeling you're looking too outlandish for a drive to the office.

Truly an amazing car that fills every void that I missed with many recent purchases!

Kudos to those who have figured it out AND who have the balls not to pontificate and stress about the depreciation curve.

 

Congrats!

Where will your first road trip be to?

LoL

I have driven an FF and agree about its fabulous qualities. Am considering one for our cross country use. Glad to read of your enthusiasm.

 

Congrats on the purchase, I agree that the FF is misunderstood by many, many judge it on its looks(which to me get better and better with time) but dont see the overall package.

 

Congratulations.

Looking forward to some pics.

Enjoy.

 

Man I am so jealous. Enjoy it!

 

Interestingly, I am considering a drive to Cavallino this Jan/Feb...other than that, driving it as much as I can and as often as I can. Just had the family out in it late today. Though my wife is a slight fan on the 458 spider I built, she never had any desire to drive in any of the others. This one, she seems to enjoy.....that's a big plus for me

this was this morning's cars and coffee. there are a couple of pics of the car toward the end!

 

Joe,

Did your FF come in a yellow transport truck about a week or two ago? If so I got some pictures of your car on my phone. Your car had to be unloaded to get my friends car out and he texted me joking that he got an FF. He lives near Richmond VA and it would make since that that was your car. If it was yours, it was beautiful congrats!

Best

nick, how awesome a story is that!?!? that is the car!! so crazy. I would love to see that pic to complete the hilarity of this mission!

Your FF looks amazing! The lack of shields makes it all the better looking. If only all of them were ordered that way..

 

Joe, I know the car you bought, as FOA is my local dealer. it's gorgeous! Wish I could have bought it myself! Glad it went to a true enthusiast! Enjoy it!

 

Congratulations!

 

Beautiful car and a great review.

 

Awesomeness. Congrats!

 

Congratulations! The car looks gorgeous in Silverstone!

One cool thing I noticed, that orange Murcielago was once owned by a guy in Arizona! I'm glad the new owner is taking it to shows too!

 

Congrats!

Maybe you'll hang onto this one for longer than a month.

 

Very impressive turn out there with a great variety of machinery. The blue 1969 Mach 1 with F60 Polyglas tires is neat.
Silverstone looks very elegant on the FF but incognito with no shields...

congrats joe! welcome to the club.

 

I've made this bet before and lost many times but this one will stand the test of time. This is the first time in a long time that I'm actually enjoying every use, every walk past it in the garage, every smile when that exhaust note chimes in, every time my wife is pleased to venture out with me in it!

 

Great to hear. I was only half kidding anyway.

Honesty, I envy you and your indecisiveness. You've certainly been able to sample some of the greatest cars over the last few years.

Do you still have the BBi?

 

Guys, our cars and coffee Saturdays have become epic. What started as a few of us posting on the midatlantic section with 5 cars has turned into 50 cars every Saturday or every varietal. Very enjoyable!

 

Joe you must be the only guy on the planet to jump from a Mac 12c to an FF.

Congrats to you!

 

Beautiful car man. Love V12 Ferraris in colors other than red. Grigio Silverstone is one of my favorites.
