    I just found out that my first brand new Ferrari just went Red 10.

    With a bit of luck should have it at the end of May or early June.

    With age should come wisdom and patience.

    However, I will be having a tough time "waiting for Christmas".

    I am very fired up my 458 Coupe, clad in a beautiful Grigio Silverstone to show up.

    I had owned a 550 for many years and loved her, so I decided to splurge on my retiremen.

    You will find that it will make your blood run like a 20 year old. Nothing like it.

    Jurgen,
    Congrats on retirement and please tell us more about your 458,specs.
    Grigio Silverstone is such a beautiful color as it will show all the great lines of the 458. Lots of luck in the future with both!

    Another 64 Year Old kid is waiting for my Spider. Stage 90, boat left Feb 28th. It will arrive as Spring is budding, and I'm getting younger everyday!

    Congratulations! I consider myself very lucky to have bought my first brand new Ferrari at the young age of 52. Now I tell everyone if you hear I'm without Ferrari, I'm either broke or dead :)

    I own a 458 spider, it is by far the best Ferrari I have ever owned.
    There is an issue that comes with owning this car and similar Ferraries and it is the question of mileage. It seems that if you drive the car for more than a 1000 miles a year the car will devalue far more than any other car. In other words "garage queens" only need apply.
    So I have owned the car for 7 months it has 1700 miles on the odometer and I just parked it in my garage to be used rarely and only for short trips.
    VERY FRUSTATING

    Buy some stock or art as an investment, buy a Ferrari to use and enjoy.
