    So as for many on this forum it has been a life long dream of mine to own a ferrari! I remember those hours I would spend in law school daydreaming how wonderfull it would be to one day to own my own Ferrari. It was a inspirational dream that would motivate me and push me to succeede. Well the day has finaly come!!! Around my 30th birthday is when I started to see that I may actually be able to make this dream come true one day and so the search began. I decided that I would give myself a deadline and buy my first Ferrari by my 35th birthday. So as luck may have it I found my car and purchased it the week of my 34th birthday... so this is BY FAR THE BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT to myself EVER!!!! So here are some pics of my baby! A bit about the car it is a 2005 roso corsa coio interior 6 speed Carbon Ceramic Brakes 2300 miles. By the way thats my girlfried and much like the car she is even better in person ;)

    I think that's fantastic but I can't believe someone would buy a car like this and in 7 years only drive it 2300 miles. It's still new.

    Good for you for finding it. It looks great!

    Thank you to all for all the kind words... I also want to thank Steve from European auto from Chicago... They did the PPI for me and were very knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything to me in detail. I will be taking the car to Clasic Coach in Elizabeth nj to have the callers painted red I will take photos Carlos at Classic Coach is also very knowledgeable and patient... Thumbs up to all!

    Very nice! DRIVE IT and enjoy. I've driven mine approximately 750 miles in 60 days and it's a great mood enhancer any day.

    Your post reminds me that I should post pictures of a new "baby".

    Drive, enjoy and repeat process frequently
