Just got my first ever Ferrari - 458 Italia!!!!

Congrats on your two beauties! Enjoy in good health. I have a LX570 and it tows my Magic 28ftboat great. Would the G tow my boat just as well? Also how smooth is the ride? And room inside?

 

Congrats man! I just picked up mine and it's a ridiculous feeling powering her through the turns. Enjoy in good health!

 

Congrats cool combo
Got the LX570 as the SUV it's an amazing car for towing and luxury

The Benz is an awesome looking car

Enjoy


Life is 2 short not to drive a Ferrari

 

Good luck. beautiful car.
Bud Root is a legend too.

 

A little extreme there buddy :^)

 

What is that????

 

Gorgeous car Mr. Gekko! I see that 2 and 20 hedge fund is paying you well! haha =)

 

I might suggest you think twice about forgiatos. I have tried 2 different sets because I love the look and style.... Both sets, pure crap. I wouldn't use them if I was given a set for free. They were both so bad that I actually gave them away rather than even sell them. I admit they have some really cool looks and I know they are popular in south Florida, but the quality was very subpar in my experience.

 

Congratulations, great looking 458!

 

Your 5,800 pound G550 is faster than my BMW 328i! Your cars look great, you must be very successful at 33. Hopefully when I'm 33, 16 years from now, I'll be able to purchase my dream car as well.

 

Sweet! The sbsolute finest money can buy.

 

I tried two separate sets of Forgiato Ottos on my 2011 RR Sport Supercharged. Both were AWFUL. I still have pics around here of what we had to do to even get the pieces of sheet to balance out. Finally, after going back and forth, dealer even admitted that the brand was crap. This really blew my mind since you see so many people with high end vehicles driving on Forgiatos. After asking around, I found another guy in my city that had similar problems with his.

Funniest thing about the whole ordeal is that Forgiato CLAIMS to be the best with their quality.... well I know different.

I do think the Ottos are some of the coolest looking wheels around....

Anyways, I hope your experiences are better than mine. I wasn't willing to have a car look good and ride like SHEET.... so I ended up GIVING THEM AWAY.... place I gave them to STILL hasn't been able to get them to balance properly and therefore cannot sell them either.

 

Thanks for the advice and yes, that's exactly what I have been doing! Being successful is a dream I have had since I was little. Seing an Enzo on vacation in Florida when I was in 7th grade has made me add owning a Ferrari to the qualifications of being successful. I don't want to live just an average middle class working life like my family and their families have before them.

In school, I have never had below a 4.0 weighted GPA and I take honors and AP classes. I plan to take 4 more APs next year. As a junior, I don't know what my class rank is, but I am sure I'm in the top 20 students in a ~200-250 person class. I am currently in an SAT prep class but I haven't taken the SAT yet. On my first PSAT in school, I got a 1900. Hopefully, I'll get my scores from the practice test yesterday and the second in-school PSAT soon, since I think I have improved my original score. I also get my practice ACT scores back soon as well. I want to go to Georgetown University since it's a great school and I love the area. However, since you live in SoFla, do you have anything to say about The U? It is one of my potential backup schools if I can't get into a top school like GTown or Duke.

Finally, would you be willing to tell me a little about what you have done and your field in a reply or PM? I am currently interested in Medicine and a major in Econ/Finance/Management. I'm not locked into anything though and my options are wide open!

 

I know that you have a G550. But when you say there's no big difference between the G550 and the G 63 AMG I would say you make the right decison! I am a fan of the G-Class too, because its a proper SUV (like the Range Rover, Hummer or Jeep).

PS: I hope that I can afford a Ferrari in ten years, when I will be as old as you

 

Sorry for scaring you, just hate to not share my story.


Yah, that's where it gets worse.

I complained to Forgiato... They said, tough luck, talk to your dealer.

Talked to dealer, they said send them back to us and we will fix the problem.

I will see if I can find a pic of the 'fix' to the problem. To call it laughable would be kind.


My friend that tried forgiatos on his cls Benz had similar issues... Pieces not matching up, air leaks, etc. honestly, it was such a bad and expensive experience, I will likely never have aftermarket wheels ever again unless I have a DIRECT relationship with the manufacturer


At least you are in Florida and have good wheel shops and nice roads. I have neither here in Oklahoma.

 

First set was 3pc, next set was 2pc.

I'm sure you'll be fine. Just make sure your dealer or rep is reputable and stands by what they sell.

I bet it will look awesome. The ottos look great on SUVs.


I just flew home from Miami last night. What a cool place, sounds like you have about the two best cars you could have! Now you just need a Cig or an MTI!!
