    Flew to Miami this AM and drove her home (with the top down the whole way!). It was a real blast!

    When I got home took turns giving each of my 4 kids (ages 9 thru 13) and wife spirited rides. After 2 miles my wife says "when are you going to let me drive?" That was a great sign because she was never too thrilled about the whole idea in the first place-- so I immediately pulled over so she could have a go. Anyways I really learned a lot from this forum - it was my reference book on the whole process. I wanted to say thank you to all those who contribute.

    The specs:
    2004 360 Spider
    3-PEDAL!
    rosso corsa/tan
    15K
    430 wheels, tubi, shields (OEM), 3M clear bra, amp/sub/speakers (but original dash unit), power seats (standard that I will convert to Daytonas with black inserts via the FChat thread), new tires, Just had full service/belts done over the weekend before I took delivery + front brakes done, had a 130+ point PPI checklist (via the ultimate PPI checklist pdf I down loaded from TTangs post here on FChat) and everything exc except stickies which I'll fix via our sponsor or with alcohol or easyoff oven cleaner (as per Fchat thread). Serviced regularly and was driven 8K in last 3 years (good thing). Had all 3 FOBs, 3 Keys (one is an Enzo key), all codes, manuals, tools, cover, charger, etc..

    Looks great, runs perfect and checked out awesome. I'll add:
    The Daytona seat inserts, CF airboxes, fix stickies, yellow RPM faceplate, maybe change the stereo head unit (OEM one is such a joke-- I just listen to the tubi sound instead).

    Last but not least bought it from a great guy-- a real gentleman. I'll post some pics over the weekend. Pics of the 360 spider in general look nice, but it's amazing how incredible the car looks in person (an in your own garage!).

    Cheers!
