    Hi all. About to pull the trigger on a Tour De France 458 Italia, but it doesn't have the lift option. Was wondering how often any of you have felt the need for it in SoFla?

    My residence and work parking locations don't need one but was wondering what the usage habits were of others in this part of the country

    Hi all. I'm about to pull the trigger and get a Tour De France 458, but it doesn't have the Nose Lift. While my residence and work parking doesn't require it, I was wondering whether other SoFla Ferrari owners consider this a must have and what their usage pattern is.

    I don't own a 458 but I have driven a coupe and a spider nearly 500 miles down here from Sebring to Homestead and I can't think of one time I needed to raise the front.

    I'd say other than steep parking garages or the Fisher Island ferry you won't need it day to day.

    I have it on my Aventador. Have to use it to get into gas stations. Garages etc

    Or you can just mount skateboard trucks & wheels under nose :)

    This is exactly why you want this option, not road or highway driving but peace of mind negotiating real world obstacles at slower speeds. Like Pit Speed, pass on this option and you will regret it
