    Hey all!

    I never expected to be able to get my dream car this year but somehow I was able to pull it off. I've always had the dream of owning one as a kid (typical), I've had my car site alerts set up for F430's for years and it was only by random circumstance that I found this one in my price range. I am so stoked.

    She is an F1...I am not disappointed by this as I respect the capabilities of an F1...of course I wouldn't mind a 6-speed like any other person but I still love the car regardless.

    The car went straight to my local recommended mechanic for full tune-up just so I can get a baseline as I never really trust any previous owners for used cars even with receipts.

    Here are some pictures I took of her from the dealership. Once I get her back from my mechanic I will get her washed and take more pictures...the car was dirty when I took these pictures.

    Congratulations and welcome to the club. I also find the F1 to be very entertaining. Make sure you drive it exactly how you would a standard manual transmission.

    I'm actually quite happy that it has the shields and the challenge wheels...all these years the ones I see only have the basic wheels...having these wheels was definitely cherry on top.
