    Awsome. I love the color combo. I just got through watching a Ferrari special, there truly is nothing like them.

    A 6sp Rosso Corsa (or is it Scuderia?) F430 is not a bad way to dip your toes into Ferrari waters..... congrats!

    Garrett,

    Congrats! The car is gorgeous. Drive it in the best of health.

    You didn't waste any time since our last e-mail communication. There's room for you at BW on the 11th? :)

    Did Obi take good care of you?

    All the best,

    Hey Jack,

    Thanks! I have been itching to get a 360CS or 430 for a long time now. One drive in the 430 and that's all it took. The suspension, brakes and steering are just so perfect I can't describe it. But I don't need to because you already know.

    I wish I could go to BW on the 11th, but I have a business obligation and Lucent may not be done with the GT2. As soon as I have the GT2 back I'll be eager to get it on the track again!

    The deal was easy and they were a pleasure to deal with. Thanks for letting me throw your name around. :)

    Hope I will be able to have a first ferrari like that too. I love the Red/Black interior with the red stitching. That just looks amazing.

    I remember my first. One of the best days of my life. Wifey just could not understand why I would get up in the middle of the night just to go to the garage and grin from ear to ear!

    People followed me with their cell phones just so those on the other line could hear the exhaust note.
