Finally said goodbye to the Stradale yesterday to make room for the new car. A very different car from the CS, more luxury and a radio! If only I can keep them longer than a year...:-( It's ADD..let's see if I can keep this one till this time next year...LOL If anyone wants a nearly new TUBI NGT from my Stradale, PM me. 2004 575M, 6-speed. Silver with black interior. silver stitching. 3 piece modular rims, silver calipers, Tubi exhaust and a radio and cd player. It's been a pleasure working with Ferrari of Seattle and especially Roberto on the execution of the deal. Highly recommend them for your next car.

Albert, congratulations again! The 575 is a stunner....The tailpipes on the Tubi look and sound awesome, thanks for bringing by my house last night. Love the stitching on the interior and seats too. Dave
To think that you were thinking of one a year ago but held out. If only I can keep a car as long as you... I would save a bundle.
Smokin Hot Car Albert! I love the overall appearance. But should'nt you be adding to the stable rather than trading them in....? I look forward to seeing it in person soon! Dave
Its an absolulty beautiful car Albert, you should be very proud. Since you change cars so often whats next? A new SuperAmerica? Kurt There is nothing like a Ferrari, there never has been and never will be !
If I was driving at the limit all the time, the CS is the best car out there. Since I also putt around in it, there are are certain luxuries that a re missing -like sound proofing or a decent sound system. The sound of the CS is like someone screaming at you all the time. I still prefer the whail of a 355 - te best sounding Fcar IMHO. The 575M - it was a good deal. It has a stereo. It has 12 cyclinders - a first for me.
I need to get Pam a new house and a 4-5 car garage before I can do that...lol. Seriously, I only need to have 1 toy at a time. I don't think I can deal with having to decide which to take out.
This car is heavy. It is not a CS esp around corners and does not stop like one. What I do like - the 12 cyclinder sounds voluptous. The starter whines up and the engine burbles to life (much better than the CS). It has a real Italian air horn not the stupid sounding horn in the CS. The cabin is super luxurious - much more refine than the CS and much more comfortable. I LOVE the 6 speed - I am now in control (slower but in control none the less - I can even remember how to heel an toe!) The worse part of this car - it is heavy and the brakes suck. Bottom line - I haven't found my true love yet but 'll date this one for a while...
well well and that from the guy who puts a NGT exhaust in ... <sentence with self-inflicted and other things deleted> I am on my way to Pacific Raceways to have some fun today ))
Geez Albert. A little check engine light comes on in the CS, and you just jump ship? Awesome!! 12 cylinders is the only way to fly! welcome to the club. Look forward to seeing it in person soon.
Congratulations on the 12, Nice Ride! Its a little stealthier for those blasts through the pass. Look forward to the year to come.
Congrats Albert!! Nice looking ride although it is a bit more subtle than the CS. Look forward to seeing it!! I'll have to try getting in front of you so I can hear this one when you pass!!
Welcome aboard Albert, your first 12 cyclinder, gee you might even keep up with me now??? Ha Ha...! Very cool car Albert, and that's my color, hope to see you Saturday with it, I hope to have my Tr out running Saturday, working on the slow window's this week, lot's of fun!!
Geez, Albert! Let's see now, I get a 360, you get a CS, I get a 550, you get a 575M. Seems like a classic case of one-upmanship to me! I wonder what you'd bring home if I picked up an F40? Hah! Great car - you'll love it, at least for awhile. ;-} Enjoy! - Tim
LOL...you are just a terrible influence on both myself and Kuzi. I'll have to talk with Debbie about you...;-) I LOOVE the sound sound of that 12...at least for a while. I think they have rehab place for folks like us. We'll have to see about checking in.
