    Owning a Ferrari has been a life long dream and it's about to come true. My 458 Italia went Status 90 on February 14th so it should be here soon. It's Rosso Corsa, Grigio Modena calipers, Scuderia Shields (of course), Nero interior with Grigio Chiaro stitching, Grigio Chiaro cavallino's on the headrests, racing seats, carbon fiber racing package for the interior, white tach, nav, cruise, front lifter, AFS, diamond finish wheels and sport exhaust.
    I won't really believe it's happening until I drive it away from the dealer.

    Wonderful. You will love it... and as someone pointed out in another thread, the experience will spill over into other aspects of your life. Congratulations.

    You have great taste! Funny story on how I ended up ordering a Ferrari. I rented a 458 for a weekend with the intent of proving to myself that Ferrari's were really just hype. I planned to find all the flaws with the car and end the dream of owning one once and for all. How could they be as good as the many German cars I've owned? Well, someone should have warned me. The Italia should only be administered under a doctors supervision because it's like a controlled substance. After that weekend I started dreaming about the darn thing and couldn't stop thinking about it. Nothing I've ever driven, and I've had too many to mention, even comes close. It's fast, of course, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth that it could driven every day. I didn't expect all the technology...and that sound...OMG I think I have listed to every YouTube clip of the 458 at least 100 times. I'm a Ferrari addict and the only cure is coming in 2 weeks...
