    Way to tank it’s resale value. I’ll take it off your hands to save you from the hassle of trying to sell a worthless car

    Awesome, good luck on the next 100k! The 16,800 miles on my 458 is minuscule by comparison…

    You ‘da man brah! Cheers!

    I thought I was going well at 32K miles, but YOU are the man! I think that's the second most I can recall on F-chat.

    Is that all DD-ing, long road trips, a mix?

    Excellent! Looks brand new and I always thought 458s "smiled" from the front- Yours is grinning with accomplishment :):cool:

    Love the STUDENT DRIVER in rear glass- Must garner some interesting looks!

    Cheers !

    Love it, you rock brah!

    You are an inspiration to all of the lucky 458 owners! I think Ferrari should develop a program to recognise all owners who have attained *significant* mileage on their F-cars…

    Mercedes-Benz has had a recognition program like this for decades… You are a marketing success story for Ferrari and proof positive that Ferrari cars are exceptionally built masterpieces of automotive engineering!

    Cheers!

    I saw you on i8! I was in a lexus though. Was trying to get your attention by revving my engine but I couldn't even hear it... :(

    the car still looks great! how's the interior holding up?

    There are dozens of us!

    We should all go to RSF C&C super early and park where all the P Cars park. There's nothing more fun than pissing off Porsche people. :D

    That’s hilarious and the same thought has crossed my mind before. I’m in. Should we start a San Diego 458 owners chat on ig to coordinate?

    we should park crooked to mess with their OCD too

    hahah I cant hear anything in my car not even another stock 458 LOL.
    interior surprisingly still great, just some leather pulling by the windshield but that seems to affect most cars. I refinished some sticky buttons myself. but the interior still looks as good as 20K miles IMO
