    So I am not so new to the forums, but I've been mostly lurking here as I planned my jump into the Ferrari world after coming from the Lamborghini world (Gallardo, Huracan, Aventador)...

    I finally picked up my first Ferrari which is a 2014 Ferrari F12 Belinetta finished in Daytona Black, Nero Black interior, and it had some aftermarket wheels on it from Forgiato which look quite tasteful in my humble opinion.

    So I hope it is not a problem, sharing my experiences with the ferrari here on the forums, but I recorded the collection and put it up on YouTube for anyone that would like to see how it went... I'll also share some of the future videos on the car if it's OK, as I am getting the interior customized with Ferrari red seats etc.

    Here was my collection experience for those that care to enjoy the moment with me :)

    I have owned a few. 360 spider, F430, 458, currently 488 and FF. I love the cars. Ferrari community takes themselves too serious but I occasionally enjoy them too. Lol

    Will, congratulations my brother! Welcome to the Ferrari side of exotics! I’m sure that you won’t be disappointed. I’ve been following your channel for about a year now. I love the way that you inform people about how you are able to afford these cars as well as the performance of the cars themselves. You have a very positive channel. Now let’s see some Ferrari’s added to your channel. Again, congratulations and welcome!

    Congrats! And welcome to the board. My first Ferrari was also a F12. Be careful at first, as she has a little bit of a nasty side.

    Congrats, looks great with the new seats. Amazed at the fast turnaround on them.

    I wrapped mine primarily for color change, but I like how satin wrap brings out the shape of the aero venting and the curves on the fender/doors. I also like the ease of care to brush it down and rinse with cleaner in a spray bottle, since the dark blue (and black of my prior 458) showed dust and dirt so badly.

    Wow both colors in satin look beautiful!! I have been thinking of maybe doing the stealth satin ppf frome expel. What exhaust do you have and do you love it?

    Also thanks everyone for the kind welcome. Happy to finally be able to contribute something. I posed a few times before as I was shopping and contemplating a purchase but now can actually add something to the conversation with this first Ferrari :)

    Haven’t done any exhaust mods... was toying with the idea of iPE. Admittedly a valve controller might be enough.

    I’m sure you’re already planning this but after a few weeks please do a comparison between the Aventadors and the F12. I suspect the AWD vs RWD and single vs double clutch make the main points.

    I’ll give you some positive news that your grip in the summertime is going to be 20x better than on any cold cement. It’s noticeably twitchier under 50°F.

    Also hope you have some Michelin rather than Pirelli.

    Will i have enjoyed your F12 videos so far. could you comment a little more on your experience with redoing the interior? there are some cars that I'm otherwise happy with the spec but the interior color scheme does not suit me, I hadn't considered redoing it like you did. looks like your turned out well--are you happy with quality, price, etc? thanks!

    Great choice of car. :)

    Even with Michelin's my back end was stepping out in 4th today in a straight line. Plus 4 degrees here today though, not the weather to be pushing, but just could not resist hearing that sound.

    Funny I see this post. I just recently came across your videos and watched a couple of them on your new purchase. Looks like your a happy customer. Congratulations
