    Way to tank it’s resale value. I’ll take it off your hands to save you from the hassle of trying to sell a worthless car

    Awesome, good luck on the next 100k! The 16,800 miles on my 458 is minuscule by comparison…

    You ‘da man brah! Cheers!

    I thought I was going well at 32K miles, but YOU are the man! I think that's the second most I can recall on F-chat.

    Is that all DD-ing, long road trips, a mix?

    Excellent! Looks brand new and I always thought 458s "smiled" from the front- Yours is grinning with accomplishment :):cool:

    Love the STUDENT DRIVER in rear glass- Must garner some interesting looks!

    Cheers !

    Love it, you rock brah!

    You are an inspiration to all of the lucky 458 owners! I think Ferrari should develop a program to recognise all owners who have attained *significant* mileage on their F-cars…

    Mercedes-Benz has had a recognition program like this for decades… You are a marketing success story for Ferrari and proof positive that Ferrari cars are exceptionally built masterpieces of automotive engineering!

    Cheers!

    the car still looks great! how's the interior holding up?

    There are dozens of us!

    We should all go to RSF C&C super early and park where all the P Cars park. There's nothing more fun than pissing off Porsche people. :D

    That’s hilarious and the same thought has crossed my mind before. I’m in. Should we start a San Diego 458 owners chat on ig to coordinate?

    we should park crooked to mess with their OCD too

    hahah I cant hear anything in my car not even another stock 458 LOL.
    interior surprisingly still great, just some leather pulling by the windshield but that seems to affect most cars. I refinished some sticky buttons myself. but the interior still looks as good as 20K miles IMO
