    We always said we would put the miles on a Ferrari if we ever realized the dream. At the end of October last year we picked up a 2017 488. After the certification inspection, paint protection, etc., we took delivery on Nov 12th. As of Thursday, March 17th, we crossed 10,000 miles (4500 miles in 4 months).

    The car is everything we have dreamed of, Boardwalk sales and service have been fantastic, and we are so looking forward to putting many more miles on as summer approaches.

    Great to see that you're enjoying and driving your car! That's what it's for.
    I've had my 1967 330 GTC for 47 years and I drive it regularly.

    Mr. Zambelli, you are THE MAN!

    In fairness to all us owners from pre-covid, we lost almost 2 years of real driving, meaning road trips.

    Luckily we made the September, 2021, FCA Broadmoor Experience (a fabulous event). Massachusetts to Colorado and back in a 612, it doesn't get any better. Just try to wipe the smile off my face! :)

    We've probably driven more often during the pandemic, just shorter drives. Still need to take the F-car on a long road trip. Best we've done is 500 miles...T

    It's funny but it was the opposite for us with shorter drives. There were no car events. The places where we used to go for a drive and then have lunch or dinner were either closed or things were so restrictive it took the fun out of it. Oh well, hopefully all that is finally behind us.

    Awesome to see you thoroughly enjoying and driving your car! As others have said they're meant to be driven! I have 12k on my 458S and 46k on my 355- I drive them every chance I get weather/road conditions permitting- Keep it going- Great to see!

    Cheers :D

    I did more fun driving trips in 2020-2021 than any other year.
    Early COVID days no one was on the road. Epic drives almost every weekend.

    Bob, that is so impressive. I really hope one day we can get close to that. I cannot imagine the memories you've created. Our trips so far have been limited to North Texas, but Colorado and Wyoming are scheduled for later in the year however.

    Awesome putting miles on a car that wasf meant for it!

    As others have mentioned here, the pandemic has changed the driving habits of our toy cars a bit...
