    Probably not the most controversial take, I know.

    Ended up cruising with one unexpectedly for a few miles today. Hadn't seen one in motion in a some time and was struck (again) by how good looking it is. And how gracefully it's aging.

    Anyway, that's it. Just felt compelled to compliment all you 599 owners out there.

    Oh yeah, please feel free to use this as an excuse to post pictures of yours. :)

    Thanks Nate,

    Now that you mention it.

    I can't actually remember seeing a 599GTB out in the wild for a very long time. (That is aside from a Ferrari Club run that I did a few months back).

    Here is a pic of mine up at Carmel for Car Week.

    @NGooding I agree with what you wrote. The design is so sophisticated and subtle, like a tux. Edgy goes out of fashion but elegant endures over the decades. I also love the duality of it, drive easy and it is the comfy luxury ride, put the hammer down and it is a fire breathing beast.

    @Condor Man Correct about seeing them in the wild. I live in Silicon Valley and I have only seen one 2 times in 10 years. I mean other than my car; I use my car as a DD because I am a bit crazy. ;)

    Photos never do the 599 justice to me. I wonder if that might be why they’re undervalued for what they are.

    If you get a good angle from the front then it looks good but, nothing like seeing it in person.

    In person 599’s are absolutely stunning.

    My first post, and completely agree with Nate. I went back and forth between the 599 and the F12. My personal taste, I liked the F12 tech, but was more fond of the 599 lines and curves. Ended up two months ago with a very low miles, Ferrari maintained, ultra clean 599. Just put new F12 wheels on it, along with PPF, window tint, a Forza exhaust valve controller, and Capristo secondary cat removal pipes. Night and day sound difference with just those minor changes. Probably the only “bad” experience is that you can’t go anywhere and park without a crowd gathering and taking pictures. The folks on this forum have been an excellent source for information. Here’s a quick picture I took of it.

    Gorgeous. Congratulations!

    Honestly, I love the F12 too. I think Ferrari has a good streak going.

    An excuse to post a picture of my car for no reason? Sure! I do love the look of these.
