    Rob- Very pretty. Wish they made rear wheels in 19" x 12" the same style as stock for the 550 and 575M. Would look even meaner, like replacing Daytona rear 7.5" wheels with 512 BB 9" wheels.

    The 550 is sure miles better looking than the Maserati, which is beautiful in its own right.

    The 550 is now at 36K.
    The Mas is more like a go-kart (especially in sport). Very tight, fast, a riot really. The Mas is about as fast as the 550 off the line. She has two functional back seats, chain-driven engine...and I pretty much drive her with the worries of driving a Toyota...you gotta respect her for what she is and what they accomplished in making her.
    The 550 is a true powerhouse of a GT...torque monster, competent, fast...special in a league all her own.

    I was in the 550 the other day perchance driving next to a guy in a Lambo...and I smirked to myself...what is really the point of that...what car out there is better than a 550...I ask you?

    Nice 550, congrats on your joy!

    I would say that the Grandsport is more the little beeeatch though.

    Love the fact you're enjoying your 550 so much, Rob. She sure is pretty.

    I've done 15k in mine in 15 months, just completely in love with that thing. I'll be back behind the wheel, after 2 1/2 months abroad, on Thursday! Looking forward to that!

    A beautiful car. I've never owned a "real" Ferrari (i.e., 12 cylinders and front wheel drive), perhaps it's time.
