    Well after a 10 year hiatus from Ferrari with a number of different marquees namely Lamborghini, I have put a Ferrari back in the stable... I had been keeping an eye on the 599 which I drove and loved, but just a little to big feeling (having had a number of 12 cylinder F cars from the 1960's and then some mid-engined ones more recently - I wanted something a little smaller feeling, but not mid-engined) When the F12 came out and knew I had to have one. Timing was right and recently and found one with all the color, options, and price I was looking for..

    She is a 2014, just over 3000 (now a bit more :) miles - most every option (full carbon, lift, passenger display, full electric seats, etc.). Also has the TDF wheels, ceramic tint, and clear wrap just put on.

    I will say, the F12 is one of the more scary fast cars power wise that I have owned or driven, this one you have to be mindful of your right foot - a little to much touch and you will see the backend in front of you pretty quickly! Looking forward to some warmer weather here in Ohio, as a cold pavement does not help with the MPPS tires - which are very slick when not well above 70 degrees..

    I will say after 300-400 miles in the last week I have had her, it is a fabulous car, it does remind me of the beautiful design from the 60's with a bit of modern flare (and of course amenities) - not to mention more power than anyone knows what to do with.. Here are a few pics of her..
