    I have been wanting a Ferrari for going on 20 yrs now and decided to finally pull the trigger last week. 2015 MY. Planning to replace the PPF but other than that the car is near perfect. I fell in love with the spec. Picked up from Ferrari Orlando. Worked with a solid guy there Candido. Was a good experience for sure. Great driving impression so far. Looking forward to getting to know the car better in the future.

    The carbon intake and plenum are just about worth the price of admission :)
    I really dig that color combination too, congrats!

    Honestly, that is a stunning car. The color combination is different yet tasteful. To quote the 700 year old knight that guarded the cup of Christ in the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, "You chose wisely."

    Thanks guys... I thought this was pretty funny but looks like Ferrari's version of Gulf Blue is Gluf Blue. Seems like a very Ferrari thing to do??? :)

    Congratulations on the purchase! You’ve got yourself an amazing car there! I have had the pleasure to meet Candido at Ferrari Orlando and can also say he is a top notch great guy. Ferrari of Central Florida is an awesome dealership.

    Beautiful! I saw it at Ferrari of Central Florida a few weeks ago...even more stunning in person.
    As mentioned, you chose wisely!
    I suspect that car will give you driving excitement for years to come...don’t ever sell it.
