    Hello ladies and gentlemen

    I'm excited to tell you that I've recently got into my very first Ferrari - a 2012 Italia.

    Moved from a Corvette to this. Looking forward to being a part of this community :]

    I've attached a picture of myself with the beauty.

    The 458 is an addicting car. It can be very docile and then scream when you push it hard. But as others have said...we need more pictures! Congrats!

    One of Ferrari's all time greats, the 458. One of the most alive and addictive machines ever made.

    Love it in white (biased of course!).

    Enjoy in good health! Wish you many miles of happiness.

    Kind regards,

    Nuno.
