my first ferrari!

can’t even believe this is actually real but after jokingly looking at 812s for sale online a few weeks ago things escalated very quickly and yesterday i picked up my 812 superfast

took it on a quick first drive and my first impressions are that it’s just mental, the whole thing is insane, i love it already. any tips, advice, or things to keep in mind from other owners would be appreciated! i can’t wait to learn everything about it and of course drive it so much. glad i got it before car week so it’ll see plenty of use next week!

here’s a photo from the drive yesterday after picking it up from the dealer

that's definitely the plan! picked it up ~2hrs away from home so i put something like 130 miles on day one, i got it so i can drive and enjoy it!

 

100% agree! my other car is a 2021 GT4 i’ve had for just over two years and im about to cross 30k miles, might be one of the highest mileage GT4s out there but it’s for the best. love hearing from people who’ve had their cars from new and have put well over 100k miles on them
this won’t see THAT many miles, but it will definitely see more than most others out there [emoji854]

 

thank you!!

thanks! kind of a funny story with the wheels actually! original build had them in silver, but when i saw it online it already had black wheels. one of the previous owners had the wheels powder coated, but must’ve been done by a sketchy/bad place because once i had decided on getting the car and it was fast tracked through service they noticed the wheels were actually in such a bad state that a wheel hub needed changing and it was not safe to drive. so they ended up ordering new wheels instead and gave me the option of the original silvers or black. even tho black doesn’t match the original spec i liked how black looked much better so i got a brand new set of black wheels [emoji23] bit of a mess the previous owners left for me (and the dealer! they must’ve lost a good amount on all these fixes), but it worked out in the end

 

totally missed the second part of your message, was actually wondering about the oil! i always have an extra oil bottle with me on the GT4 and wasn’t sure if i’d need to do the same here, good to know! will keep a bottle on the car at all times as well. i’m actually in the bay area not socal, but hopefully the weather here keeps the battery happy, will definitely keep it on the battery charger at all times [emoji1305]
thanks for the tips!

 

yes! it’s already got xpel in the more exposed areas like front etc but i’m gonna take that off and do full body instead soon

 

thank you!

ohh i hadn't thought of that at all, very interesting… i'll have to think about it a bit to be sure it'd be the right move for me, but maybe! thanks for the idea!

 

thank you!

 

yea they’re meant to be driven! i’m at around 700 miles in these first ~2 weeks, it’s been amazing so far.
congrats on the F12!!

 

thank you!!
