    After a long search I picked up my 2007 F430 with a mixture of excitement and nervousness today. A short while into the drive home, I was already starting to feel comfortable, despite the policeman with his radar gun, a mere 5 KM's in. Fortunately I was not much over the limit, and I just smiled as I drove by. I had a great time driving family around, and had a few "Ferrari Moments". Including have a guy in a F150 wanting to drag me off the line at a light, I let him win LOL!, and filling up at the Gas Station was an adventure with random people coming up to me to ask questions, and taking photographs. All in all, a good day, and I am ready for more tomorrow.

    Congrats as well! I too recently took possession of our 2007 F430. Had a great experience at Scottsdale Ferrari.

    Nice car - it's a great feeling - had mine now 6 months and even though its spent the majority of that garaged due to winter the stupid grin still hasn't worn off. Never spent so much time before watching the weather forecast. Enjoy.

    Great looking car and yes -- probably Rosso Scuderia. I was at our local Italian car show on Saturday and there was a 430 in Rosso Corsa next to a Rosso Scuderia. Quite a contrast.

    Congratulations. My 2007 F430 looked exactly like yours... great taste! You're going to love having this car and you're right, ever stop at the gas station is a mini-car show.

    Enjoy!
