    Time sure does zip buy! Last post I mentioned I'd sold the 599 to a friend in Portland. She loves the car and hasn't had any trouble with it. Seems the odd repairs I had to have done (Radiator, front hubs/bearings, msc.) were just a fluke. I don't usually sell cars to friends, but Jill insisted I sell it to her when the time came. She says she drives the 599 at least 2 days a week...to work! This women has no fear! Update: my art gallery is doing very well, which is a surprise given the economy. Having many clients in europe really helps. Hope each of you are hanging in there! Anyway, there is a 2008 599F1 parked in our garage again! We bought it in June, 126 miles, NEVER TITLED! Dealer (out of state) had 4 slightly used 599's in stock, all with under 1500 miles. Almost bought a silver/black one. We got a last minute call from our sales person saying they were getting a new 08, F1,100 mile car from an estate...never titled..full warranty, good to go! The details of this estate/Ferrari/purchase are way too complicated to even describe! It's parked in our garage...all that matters! Rossa Corsa Red, tan full leather, red piping, ball polished wheels, carbon fiber...and so forth. Take care, each of you! And remember: Drive your Ferrari!!!!

    Grueling 3.4 mile commute, so about 5k. Split use with a couple cars, and it goes on 250-300mi runs in hill country regularly. Not enough miles, but it gets used hard :) Current tank has 165 miles on it and Vmax is 151 for the tank. Not a lot of traffic by the office. I'm getting 6-7mpg. The Hybrid badge really helped :eek:
    I delivered Girl Scout cookies in it. Looks on people's faces were priceless.

    Congrats and enjoy in good health! :)

    The 599 is an amazing machine. It eats the road like no other car.

    How's 6K miles in 50 days? :)
