    By nature I think all surgeons are a little OCD!o_O

    My wife says I’m going to polish the paint off of mine.

    Fair point. You wouldn't want a slipshod surgeon cutting on you! [emoji2]

    Flew to Dallas today and unexpectedly had some free time so I called Boardwalk Ferrari and arranged a test drive of a beautiful Portofino. Sam was a great help and on an hour’s notice had one ready to go for me. As a ‘new to me’ Ferrari owner for 2 years (2010 Nero Daytona Cali) that goes for spirited drives on back roads every other weekend or so, I can’t say I was blown away. I love the interior and exterior, and frankly had zero problem with the Cali rear end until reading the negative comments on Fchat made me more aware of it. Downshifting in the 2010 sounds much better than the Porto although the power was obviously noticeably better. All in all, I think it’s gorgeous but not enough of a change from what I have to long for a used one a few years from now. Excited for all those that have purchased one though especially if it’s your first F car. I’m thinking a used 2019 812 may eventually be my next target one day. Haven’t driven one yet but will plan ahead next time I’m in Dallas.

    I guess I’m one of the odd folks here that loves everything about the Cali. The lines are beautiful. I even like the back. I am struggling with the Porto. I don’t think the look is uniquely Ferrari it reminds me too much of a corvette. I do like all of the interior upgrades and the power.

    Interesting. It's different, that's for sure.
    Looks somewhat like the Porsche color, Ultra Violet.

    A friend finally sold a 246 GTS in that color that he bought new. A small car like a Dino looks great in that color, but it is a bit much for a larger car. On the other hand,that is a rare old color that has the pop and sparkle of today's colors.

    Top one could be Nuovo Grigio Ferro and the other at the bottom Grigio Titanio.

    That color is more for a special edition like Pista

    Lovely red. Thought it might be Fuoco but has more brown compared to yours.

    Thanks griffon for replying. I thought grigio ferro but it looks lighter, some more pics below.
    this is the nicest (in my eyes) colour combination ive seen...looking to buy similar if i find one hopefully in the next couple of months...otherwise might go for a Gtc4 lusso in a similar colour..
