    May be relocating to Dripping Springs sooner than later it looks like! This was a longer term dream for having a central residence for family to enjoy, and we have lucked into a property - even though prices are high and this is a stretch, we are very excited! Once we're closed I'll happily share more details for those interested, but just wanted to say hello Texas!

    I'm also picking up a 458 Spider this weekend so I'm really good at spending it seems!

    Cheers

    Dripping is a great jumping off point for hill country drives!
    Enjoy!

    Welcome to Texas, let us know when you’re all settled in. I don’t think you’ll have trouble finding some nice driving roads!

    Great location. Close enough to Austin, but not too close. Lots of craft breweries and distilleries in the area to enjoy, and still mom & pop Tex-Mex and Q joints to be found. Enjoy...T

    I moved recently from San Diego and built a new shop in Spicewood just down the road from Dripping Springs. I only restore Ferrari Dinos but I rent out the other shop on my property to Josh Hill a ferrari specialist. Drop by and introduce yourself!

    Welcome to Dripping Springs and Central Texas. We have a very active Ferrari Club Chapter here (appropriately named Hill Country) if you are a member or wish to become one. PM me for more information.
    Congrats on the 458! Hope to see it soon.

    Where did you buy in DS?

    We’re having a home built in bunker ranch so looking to move up towards the end of the summer when they’re done

    Anyone have insurance company recommendations? I'd really like to use a provider that can cover a >$250K Ferrari and a >$1M house. Seems like a limited pool of options that can do both, so might have to settle for separating things out.

    Look into Safeco. That's who we have, although our home is not worth as much as what you're looking at. We bundle home, auto and umbrella...T

    Someone recommended Pure for that. I applied and they declined me because my house was not expensive enough.

    Broker is currently recommending Encompass for the house and American Modern for the cars. Blah, I hate having more bills to deal with. Safeco is quite a bit more expensive on the home side. Pure passed, I think because of the Ferrari's value?

    Cars are headed to new house today. Unfortunately the previous owners we leased back to for the month of June were not there when the water heater failed - half the house is flooded and we’re looking at a massive remediation and renovation. ****in’ A.

    I have 2 Ferraris and a house covered by State Auto. Worked well for me. Had a building collapse during the big freeze and they handled the claim fairly and professionally.

    Liberty Mutual had both my house and cars until I moved the 458 and a couple older BMWs to a Hagerty policy. Price wasn't massively better but it lets me keep my teen son off the same policy as the 458, which is a huge difference!

    Pretty sure I saw you on Tuesday driving into Austin on 290, was driving to Belterra on the other side. Car looked great.

    Probably! Our daily Tesla is still getting shipped out here, so I've put a lot of miles on the 458. Fortunately it's a wonderful thing. Cheers!
