    After stalking all the posts here for a VERY long time and reading about all the thrills you are all having with your rides, I decided it was time to pull the trigger. Dealt with Craig at Ferrari of Houston who was great to deal with and I found the exact car I would have sped'd had I built one they just traded. She's a 2021 Bianco Avus with only 202 miles and sitting in my garage until the gross weather here in Pennsylvania goes away. I look forward to sharing conversation with everyone here and appreciate all the information you al share it has been beneficial. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Wow! That is breathtaking :) Love the color and the interior absolutely rocks - Beautiful, beautiful car - Patience apparently paid off - as it usually does.

    Cheers and enjoy! And YES it is ok to just sit in it when the weather is bad and smell the leather and realize the two greatest words in succession are now a reality - "MY FERRARI"

    Cheers :)

    Thank you all for your kind words, really appreciate it. It is kind of hard to just stare at it and not drive it so hopefully spring comes early.

    Bellisma!!!

    I believe those are the best wells and my choice from incoming F8S.

    So few miles the owner probably playing the step up game.

    They have and endless supply of great cars there it seems. Bought one myself in 2015 from them.

    More pictures and impressions once acquainted.


    Drive it well.

    Appreciate all the kindness. Was delivered yesterday by 64 motor cars out of New Jersey who did a great job bringing it in from Houston. Moved it in a timely manner and they have nice equipment. Now I sit and wait for spring, I need to move south lol.

    Well for your first Ferrari I think you have knocked it out of the ballpark! The Red interior is a great complement to the White exterior, just stunning. A Big Congrats.

    Thank you! I have always been partial to white and with the red interior just couldn’t pass on it. Learned my lesson on hesitating when you find “the one”, someone else gets it lol. By the way it was -3 here this morning with brown snow on the roads so even Atlanta weather sounds good at this point!

    In my experience cars find their owners not owners finding their cars- Much like pets. Every time I've "planned" to go find a buy a specific high end car I've come away frustrated and empty- then when I least expect it whoa! There it is and things fall into place- Albeit with some effort and coordination- but generally felt like it was just "meant to be"

    Sounds cheesy but my experience FWIW and sounds applicable for you as well.

    As earlier stated- Car is breathtaking- Enjoy it every time you look at it- touch it- sit in it- start it- drive it- fuel it- clean/detail it etc. etc etc.

    Cheers :)

    That is gorgeous. Love the wheels. I personally think they are a much better alternative to the directional non standard wheels.

    Paying over sticker is something I never thought I would do honestly. I just couldn’t help myself once I came across it. Purchase was $119k over sticker. I bought it Ferrari certified and was exact spec I wanted so did not mind it. I plan to keep it to pass on to one of my boys since they won’t know what real care are once they’re old enough to drive in 10 years. Have 2 vipers and am on hunt for an Aventador svj roadster then I’m good. Thanks again for the kind comments.

    If you find an SVJ - Please send it to Gintani for their full F1 exhaust treatment. Best sounding car I've heard in a long time...
