    2010 with only 1,550 miles. Nero interior with red stitching, Bose, Ipod, Coming out of a 458 and very happy. Car is comfortable, fast, and looks great. First thing I'm doing is getting rid of the Pirelli's and installing Michelin Pilot Super Sports, which I've had on previous cars and really liked. Thanks to all in the forum for the learnings on various topics.

    Congratulations!

    That's my 2007 HGTE's little brother, although they look like twins!

    I couldn't be happier in mine, I'm sure you'll be the same.

    How about an interior shot?

    Cheers!

    Those look incredible in black! Just wondering if the previous owner was from Huntington Beach and the car previously sold from Ferrari of Newport? If so, that was my neighbors car.

    Congrats. Beautiful 599 and she has super low miles. Drive her in good health. Ironic that your coming off of a 458. I also had a 458 and went into a 599 recently. I think you will like the sounds coming from the V12 better than the V8 in the 458. I will say that the 458 Italia had the best sounds I have ever heard from a V8 (haven't heard a Speciale yet). Something special about a 12 cylinder F car. After you get some seat time, I'll be interested in your review of the 599 (relaive to the 458).

    update- attached some i phone pics. put the pilot sport cups on the car and it made a dramatic difference. no more harsh bumpy road. really happy about them. impressions so far after several hundred miles- great touring car, fast, comfortable. a gas guzzler! a bit disappointed in the lack of exhaust sound. even in race mode. I do get a good sound on full acceleration but it could be stronger, especially compared to the FF, f12, and 458. BOSE is ok, seems to be pretty well set up but I will play with the settings soon. The radio is excellent at picking up spanish stations;) full skid plater were already installed which is great. air conditioner works really well. Generally I see how this can be a terrific daily driver. no cup holder though!!!! very impressed with combination of comfort and handling. handles better than i thought, especially with the michelins. wife loves it better than 458.

    Pull the exhaust flaps and no more sonic issues. The MPSS give you both better comfort and better handling!!
