    With the price you pay in Singapore, you can get atleast 3 599s in the US.

    Very aggressive looking in yellow. What do you think after driving/riding in it? :)

    Thanks for all the kind replies!

    I think it's the most AMAZING car I've ever had the pleasure of driving! It's unbelievably responsive at all times and its performance is truly staggering. I have only been allowed to drive on auto and with my dad in the car, so I cannot comment much about how the paddle shifts work. What impresses me most is the orgasmic exhaust note that the car makes when you start the engine and when you rev the car hard. Simply driving the car normally on public roads scares the hell out of me. It's much wider and longer than any other car I've driven, and I'm terrified of accidentally damaging it.

    Aside from the insane driving pleasure the 599 gives me, I must say that I'm actually very impressed by the level of adjustment the seats offer and the way the car starts. I like how you have to turn the key and wait for the lights on the dash to turn green before hitting the "Engine Start" button. I've never seen something so deliberately involving at every level before! Most of all, simply being in or around the car just puts a HUGE smile on my face and I'm very grateful to my dad for being able to drive such a wonderful car at my age. I've been incredibly motivated to study hard and work hard so I can buy my own Ferrari in the future.

    To all owners with kids, please let your children drive your Ferraris!

    Favourite line. Great car, thanks for the pics. :) Hope your dad lets you drive the car more often.

    Congratulations! If the dealer is willing to, have them pull the exhaust valves- it will always sound fantastic. The car is really amazing.

    Our roads aren't as wide as the roads in the states and there are lots of inconsiderate/lousy drivers on the roads here I suppose. Speed limits are too damn low too, it's just too easy to get caught for speeding here.

    Thanks for all the kind replies guys :) Unfortunately, it appears that the 599 is going to be a garage queen for the time being as my dad is overseas and I'll only be allowed to drive it after I attend a driving school or two in Australia (I study there).

    Can any Aussies here recommend a few good driving schools to me?
