    Awesome first post!

    Yes, obviously you were a good boy last year. Great car. Love all the carbon fiber. You are right in that a Porsche cannot compare to a Ferrari. Lots of us here have realized it.

    You are very fortunate (like me) to have a caring, thoughtful wife. I'm sure you don't or won't ever forget that as well.

    Congratulations and welcome.

    Congrats! It looks like a nice one. The carbon plenum is a sweet option (and expensive IIRC).

    Gorgeous interior!
    And that Intake Manifold is awesome......wasn't aware that it was an available options.
    I thought only Scuderia's received that manifold.

    Congrats, I too bought my Red/Tan F430 from Boardwalk in 08.
    Tell them you want a F458, I am on the list and was told by them to expect mine in Sep 2011.
    I did buy a Porsche 977TT last Friday as a daily driver, great car but no Ferrari.
    Every time I drive my F430 it puts a smile on my face.

    You have to own both to get best of both worlds.
