    Caught this today when I was at a stoplight, just looked down at the right time. So now anyone else see if they can get this on theirs after it's delivered or if you can come up with 488 some other way regarding your 488. Add to the thread. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    I had just filled it up and I fumbled the phone and had to wait for the next light, I drove slowly on purpose, nowhere to pull over as I was in the left lane of a highway access road.
    You got yours a week before me!

    No kidding, right? LOL!

    With that kind of mileage in Florida, you probably have 488 love bugs smashed on the front of your car! :eek:

    OP I recall approaching 488 on the odo and had best intentions of capturing it on the Iphone however a mountain pass with a lotus hot on my heels prevented it from happening. 1488 came around and it was much the same situation as was 2488 and 3488. I'm now approaching 4888 so will hopefully not miss the chance. Will keep you posted.

    Everything is bigger in TX. Like the traffic jams.
    Lord knows you drive an exotic and you're stuck at 5mph crawl at 103F and 98% humidity.
    Either that or you're one those who cruises at 54mph in the fast lane as a "traffic calming" measure?

    I suppose traffic in LA (just as an example, since you are in California) is a walk in the park?

    I drive my car(s) rain or shine, traffic or not, because I do so for the experience of the vehicle marque not what anybody else thinks!

    When I see those drivers in the fast lane, I press the “transformers” button and my Ferrari turns into a beater pickup truck with an 6” pipe bumper, which I use to ram them out of the way. Afterwards, I press that magic button again, returning to my Prancing Horse for continued traffic calming driving.

    Speaking of my 488, unlike the picture by JohnTz taken in 82 °F ambient temperature, the day I took my picture two weeks ago it was 102 °F. No big deal because my engine temperatures were the same as his and with the AC who cares how hot it is outside?
