FF - Ferrari Four…or Family Four?!

Hello! First post as a FERRARI owner.

I have dreamt of this for the last 25 years. Picked up a certified FF with 45k miles on it last week. New transmission and a lot of other work necessary for Ferrari to certify it. Praying to the FF Gods that it continues to treat us well. It’s been 1 week, 3 tanks of gas, about 400 miles of smiles and giggling like a child. What a sound this 6.3 V12 makes in REAL LIFE.

I daily drive this bad mofo, 2 little girls in the back and all. Anything I should do, routine or pre-maintenance wise, to keep having a flawless experience?

Debating putting winters on it and driving year round….but not sure yet. Wisconsin winters.

So excited to be part of the club. Thx all!

Are you on the battery tender there? You want to be...

 

Yes most definitely. hooked up every night!

 

Can you elaborate on this? What needed to be done?

 

Wisconsin uses salt on the roads during the winter months; therefore, I would be very reluctant to drive it during that period. Salt is very corrosive and is very hard to get out completely from all the nooks and crannies. It takes a while for the salt to disappear from the roads and I would wait until a rain shower or two before venturing out.

Congrats! If I could get away with dailying mine to work I would do the same. I have two car seats in mine and my daughter loves riding in the “blue car”.

The ff is such an incredible value. The noise it makes is the best in the business.

 

Hello and welcome!
Love the license plate of your G!

About winter I won't let my FF running in the salt

 

It’s a personal choice.

We figure that you can’t take it with you so you might as well use it as its maker intended; salt be damned.

the ff underbody shields do a good job of protecting everything...its the corrosions around the brakes that you need to focus on.

 

Welcome, @lcalawerts! I love hearing about new owners who love their FFs. That was me a few years ago. I still get a thrill out of starting it up!

I'm definitely a summer-only guy with mine, but that's me.

 

Drive it like you stole it every day!
