    Just bought Potxoli's (I think his name is Eric) car. It's coming back home....Arlington VA. Unfortunately I missed it the first time around as I started looking a week after he traded it in. Eric please PM me if you read this. I got shipping bids from probably 20 carriers. Has anyone used Atlas Auto Shipping? Thanks for your help.

    Welcome to the brotherhood. We were sorry to see Potxoli/Eric leaving the DC area, but we're glad the car will still be here!

    Hope to see you around at some of the local meet-ups.

    - Eric

    Congratulations, Terry! That's an awesome car! It was actually my first Ferrari (Eric bought it from me several years ago). Glad to hear that she's found another good home.

    Well, 2 of its previous owners anyway. IIRC, it spent ~10 years in the Boston area before it found me.

    When someone does a great job I think they need to be recognized. Stephen Smith at the Dallas Car Store was an absolute delight to work with. Never having bought a car out of state I was a bit apprehensive. Stephen put my fear to rest. I must say I had the advantage of Richard at Competizione helping me through the process as well. Both of them are good guys.

    Congratulations again, Terry. Next time I'm in the DC area, I'll look you up (assuming you don't mind, of course). I would love to see that car again. Post some pics once she gets there, and have a blast!!!

    I have to say this was the smoothest transaction I have ever made. Bought the car Friday night. Wired the money Monday morning. Had the car picked up in Dallas,TX Monday evening and unloaded it Wednesday evening in Arlington,VA. And the best part....the car exceeded my expectations! What a joy! Drivin' it to the beach this weekend!

    I have to give a huge thumbs up to Angelo Soto and his company ishipcar.com. He was in contact all the way during the trip. When he arrived in his spotless rig the car was properly tied down and in perfect condition. Based on my experience I give him the highest recommendation.

    Terry- I love a happy ending, whether it is a car or a beautiful lady. Enjoy her. 348s are really beautiful cars and you got a good one.

    Terry, congrats again on an awesome car! I can say I know exactly how you feel seeing that car come off of the transport. Have a great weekend!
