Hello everyone, I have been a quiet reader over the past several months and I appreciate all that this site has offered in terms of your experiences with ownership. I finally made the jump this past week, selling my 02 C4S and purchasing as 98 550 as my first F car. Here are a few pics. Plenty more to come for sure. The car blows my mind. such a different world from my P car experiences. --Omar 1998 550 Black/Black Full Carbon package Sports seats Fire extinguisher (so vital...well I hope not...haha) Red brake calipers Tubi exhaust Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
WOW! That's the PERFECT example of a Maranello! Beautiful. Congrats on the purchase and it looks like you bought it at FoSF which is always a good thing. Looking forward to hearing your impressions...
Thus far I must say it is AMAZING. The sound of the tubi is absolutely glorious!!! Went for a gorgeous drive this weekend down US 1 from San Francisco to Carmel...the car just begs to be driven and there seems no end to the torque. Very happy with my purchase.
26,300. Not too bad. I had looked at a couple different examples of the Maranello with much lower miles, but after what I had researched, it seemed I was better off with a well sorted out car. The 30.000 mile belt service was just done and the car seems good to go. I plan to truely drive the car so i am hoping the 550 is true to its history of being a great car.
The 550 is the best Ferrari to have in black. What a beautiful car. Enjoy her and drive it hard Molte Bene!!!
Enjoy the car Omar! Just picked up my new Ferrari from FoSF. Great guys to deal with. Hope to see you one of these days, preferably on the track
Thanks everyone. FoSF was great to deal with. Only thing I have left to sort out with the car at this point is that I only have 1 remote with the 550. (the black one). From all the threads I have seen, this could be a potential problem down the road unless I order a new set of three. Any thoughts?
Congratulations!!!! I also picked up a 550 in Black this week. They are amazing. I cannot believe how well this cars performs. John
