    Looks like twin sister of mine! See attached photo of my 2006 Spider.

    One quick info for sharing since this is your first F Car.
    Be prepared for lots of attention. Whenever you go for a drive its now not just a drive - its an event.

    You will always get lots of thumbs up, lots of waves, lots of Hi from people and other drivers.
    The best thing to do in my opinion is to wave and say Hi back. Last thing we want are haters, and believe me there are haters out there.
    I only experience 2 haters. One was a Prius, probably hate us because we are not green like them.
    The other one was an old beat up car that wants to hit me head on. Probably think Im rich and wants to sue me for damages, so watch out for those.

    I drive mine every chance I get and I come home my face hurt from smiling. Just yesterday I drove for 6 hours and had a blast.
    The car does not melt in the rain :)

    Remember to also drive it the way its designed and meant to be driven, otherwise its a waste of a car.
    My F430 so far has been extremely reliable and upgrading to Agency Power Headers, Kline Exhaust, Mase Engineering Software, F1 Solid State relay from Scudding Swiss and BMC racing filters it really transformed the car.

    Enjoy it, we are here if you think we can help with anything.

    Dan

    Thanks Dan. That exhaust sound is intoxicating. I had a smile from ear to ear just watching the video.
    I’m taking her out tomorrow as she needs to get inspected. Can’t wait.

    Beautiful! Team us about the journey, was it an impulse buy, did you search for months, etc?

    Thank you brookliner7. It is my first F car. My other toy is a 65 Mini Cooper that I did a frame off restoration. Big difference in horsepower between the two. [emoji23] I am mechanically inclined and like to fix things as a hobby. I’m also a perfectionist and prefer to do things myself if I can.

    I guess it's my mid-life-crisis toy. I have been searching for 2 years and it finally paid off. I got the exact car that I wanted with the exact options I was looking for. I get a huge smile just by going into the garage. I keep finding excuses to go into the garage. LOL
