    Might as well be. Finish is like glass. Just a few little smudges on the 3M where the top touches.

    Congrats on the new ride and yes Giallo is the fastest color. You will have to get back to us as to your comparison to the 360. Too bad we are in the dead of winter.......Have fun.......Steve

    Thanks, Josh. I know it's bittersweet for you, buddy. We had some upgrade plans for that 360, but this just made more sense long run. I know after last year that I'm going to drive the f-car as much and as often as I can, and I just feel better being in the 430 than 360. You'll be seeing her anyway, along with the other cars. Need to get the Cayenne into you soon, actually.

    Thanks, man. Thanks, everyone. Hope the rain cleans off the driveway so I can get her home. At least it won't be a bunch of ice after this storm comes through. Thank god we're getting a bunch of rain out of it and not the alternative. Had enough of snow. After last year, had enough for the decade.

    Congratulations. You must be beside yourself. I looked for my car for over 4 years until I found the right one. It ended up being owned by someone within 15 miles of my home. The first two days were more fun than two eighteen year old cheerleaders. My first few weeks weren't too good. Ended up having to do the "big service" because the cam seals began leaking. I knew when I bought it that it was due so it wasn't a catastrophic financial surprise like some new owners get. Glad I did it though. Bugs all worked out now. Fuse/Relay block delaminated and burned a few wires. Got home on Six cylinders in "limp" mode. Instead of going with the original block which was 6K USD, I got a new after market one that is a real printed circuit board with robotically soldered joints so that shouldn't happen again 20 years from now. Saved about $3,500. too. My newest problem is that apparently nobody makes the stock size tires for the Testarossa's any more. The rears are 255ZR/50/16 and the fronts are 225's. Anybody have any ideas? I really don't want to lose the original wheels, nor change the rear axle ratio by changing the diameter of the rear tires.
