Hi Gang: Over the weekend I purchased a 2008 599 at *****************, with 20K miles Nero Daytona on Black with white contrast stiches. Its a great car, new clutch etc. Traded my 86 328 in - which I will desperately miss, but my wife said only one Ferrari at a time... so I decided to move on. The Ferrari historian in me is sad to lose a car that was made while Enzo was alive... but I'm thrilled to have a car I can drive with gobs of power and an awesome sound! Hate the sticky switches .. .but that will be fixed soon. So I'm looking forward to learning all I can about the 599 experience, one thing so far is this car is FAST!!!!! CCM brakes, etc... wow! Also the Adam and Megan at ***************** were very good to work with, so many thanks! Ciao & Happy Christmas Tom Image Unavailable, Please Login
Congratulations! The more I drive my 599 the more I love the car. I thought I would miss the 360 but this car is spectacular. Enjoy.
THAT is what hurts - its been pouring rain all weekend - even today so only have driven it one day!!!!! It's so clean hate to get it all dirty... but may have to bite the bullet soon.
Nice choice! My fav after the 550 is the 599...actually 599xx evo race cars. I can honestly say I want that car.
Very nice, congratulations! Looks like 599s are moving. I just picked up a red 2009 and drove it home 700 miles. The car was flawless. Glad there was no snow over the passes, though. These are the most under appreciated Ferraris today.
Great purchase! I’m a relatively new 599 owner as well. Also black/black. I think they’re really great cars, and are currently priced really well.
I've literally been driving it as much as I can over the past couple of days. Christmas day we took it for a coffee run and just a little drive before heading over to the folks for dinner... I absolutely love the sound it makes at 5K in 2nd gear... OMG I could listen to that all day ... what is so really amazing is how quiet it is in auto mode... we were at a long traffic light and I literally could not feel anything ... almost thought did the engine shut off..? so smooth! I've been reading the manual and all the little tricks - Ferrari says to drive around town in the slippery surface mode for the best ride quality ... which I now see its so soft... only down side - I got the electrical system failure pop up and go away, and I scraped the bottom of the front on a slightly steep transition ... I think over the last two days I've done 250 miles... I literally wake up and cant wait to start it up!!! Took my dad for a ride today - and we had a clear highway stretch ... Amazing how quick you are doing 3 digits... surprisingly fast.... shocking really. the other 599's I've driven have all been others cars so always respected speed etc... but OMG this is a fast car.
Beautiful, congratulations. It looks like you’re in the painted diffuser club? Image Unavailable, Please Login
Great car! Love black. Show us some pictures of the interior. The white stitching sounds like it will be gorgeous. You need to move to CA to fully enjoy it. My 612 is my daily driver. Use 20” Michelin Pilots, very sticky on the dry roads, and love to blast through the twisties. On the odd day that it rains I am forced to drive my black 65 Vette. Ouch!
As of Jan 1, 2020 I'm no longer the Ga. Chapter President of the FCA. but I still host a monthly gathering of Ferrari's in Buckhead part of Atlanta. So here are some of the pics taken at the gathering of my 599: Sadly its been raining non stop so not much driving this week!!!
