    Had to be a good boy, be responsible & step away from fun cars for awhile, then over time began to think about what I'd want again

    Sub 1M no other car for me than this.. really wanted a white no stripe example, but between color and stripe I was more fixated on no stripe

    Shoutout to TomF, TomS, and the entire crew at Cauley Ferrari - class acts and an absolute pleasure to work with

    First red Ferrari (2015, Rosso Corsa), fortunate to have the opportunity to add Speciale back and 1 of 2 dream cars (re)acquired

    Great car! Even better in person. I saw it in the showroom when I was at Cauley the other day.

    Appreciate the kind comments :) Missed the community & advice here. Car guys are a special breed, and I kept thinking to myself what's life without the fun car in the garage, even if there's a bit more money in the bank..

    Haha I can see why most would prefer with stripe for special series Ferraris, both my dearly departed tdf and last Speciale had them, but now actually prefer the cars without stripe to highlight the cars design. Very hard to go wrong either way..
