Just came back from lunch where I had the opportunity to park next to a Cybertruck. The contrast in size and dimensions is quite something....
Exotics Racing in Las Vegas is the easiest place to test out various exotics. That’s where I first drove a 458 and decided it was for me, over an...
I don’t recall the exact text but it clearly said alternator failure. Not like the car was bricked either. I was able to drive it to the...
The car gave me the “alternator has failed warning.” Dealership verified it failed. Was quite costly to have the dealer do the replacement as was...
Yes. My 458 did this right before my alternator failed. Problem has not returned since replacement 2 years ago.
2011 458s for anything near 150k sounds pretty treacherous. Sounds like high mileage or more than half a dozen previous owners. For all the...
Bro, I’m no fool or FU money. I’m not saying those costs are justified. I tried to jerryrig it for a while but ultimately decided to just get it...
I don’t disagree but it is what it is. This is a forum where retail 300-600k fcars are normal right? Often 2 or more are owned by members. YMMV.
Yes, yes, and yes. [ATTACH] Oh right and my driver side window switch popped off and the whole thing had to be replaced because it’s solid...
35k USD. Includes 6 annual maintenance (15k ish total?), alternator replacement last year (10k), side mirror I knocked off in my garage (5k), 3...
Sounds like fun! I’ve been looking forward to seeing the XX/F1 Clienti cars again since I last saw them in 2019. I’m going to have 2 kids with me...
All part of the cost of ownership imo. I mentally budget 10k/year for maintenance. By that metric I’ve done quite well- only 35k in 7 years. If...
Does the car drive normally after starting? When I first got my 2010 at 7 years old ESF would pop up along with a slew of other failures and limp...
Completely agree. I prefer to collect pieces from older maisons with low annual production (in my case Blancpain, Breguet, Vacheron), not 1-1.5M...
I hope I’m not out of line posting the following. Geektime.watch I was surprised at how many options are available.
I almost view these reproductions as 1:18 models of my F car. Remains to be seen how long they last. I’m sure any ding will scratch off the plated...
[ATTACH] I have this shot next to a genuine rotor. I’ve always been more of a fan of PP case backs than fronts. I don’t think this watch is...
$500
I recently got a Patek 5396 clone for science. Visually it’s indistinguishable from the real thing on the wrist. I ran it by a work buddy who has...
I’ve had electrical gremlins on my 2010 458 since my purchase in 2017. I replaced the OEM tender with a newer Ferrari model with no obvious...
