    After purchasing my first Ferrari last year, a "capricious" 1978 308GTB, and then a 1998 550 Maranello with its big V12 about 6 months ago, I could not resist now going for a "modern" Ferrari. I researched what model offered the most bang for the buck and of course decided on a pre-owned 458 Italia. I educated myself on this forum (thanks guys) for what are the best options and for how much to expect to pay and I finally found an amazing one-of-a-kind example in Grigio Alloy that I pulled the trigger on.....
    I thought I'd share with you the "eye candy":

    Your Italia looks very special wearing that Grigio Alloy paint. Really like the interior color to as a nice contrast with the paint. Way to go!

    I just got a text along with this picture from Ferrari of Atlanta that she's ready to go. I had a full frontal protective film installed and, while they had her, they gave her a good coat of wax and made her all pretty for me!!! OMG!!! I can't believe I have such an amazing machine!!!
    I'm on my way to pick her up!! More pics to follow..........
