458 Purchased my first Ferrari!

Hello everyone!

Feel very fortunate in that I was able to recently pick up my first Ferrari. I bought it from good friend and forum member @Evo X, and must first thank and applaud him for taking such wonderful care of this car. I picked it up on Thursday and have already done about 400 miles on it...it is truly an incredible driving experience that lives up to all of the hype. I will freely admit that I was never really a "Ferrari person" (my typical poison is of the Porsche variety), but I am trying to push myself to engage in a wider variety of automotive experiences. I am looking forward to exploring the forum and learning more about my car, as well as reading about other owners experiences.

Here are some quick photos I've been able to snap over the past few days (apologies...I am not much of a photographer) + some photos provided by the previous owner (much better than mine).

Congrats the 458 is an incredible machine I absolutely loved my spider. Black painted roof?

 

Yup!

 

Congrats! You will love this fine machine!!!

 

Welcome to the family!!

These cars are great toys but what is greater is their owners like you that appreciate them.
Enjoy the experience and joy it have to offer. Get ready for sharing your knowledge with everybody around you when you take it out and when you fill it up at the gas station. You will be looked upon like a rock star, having your picture taken and given the thumbs up sign. This never gets old and will always happen.
Enjoy it all!!

Best wishes,
Gene Greer

 

I forgot to add it is a beautiful car!!

The greatest sports car made in the past 10 years...and this is coming from a die hard Porsche guy who never ever thought he'd like a paddle shifting non manual car! congrats

 

LOLOL

 

We moved from a 360 Spider to a 2015 458 Spider in January of 2020. I am still learning this cars nuances and love every minute of drive time. I highly recommend that you have the exhaust valves open for that great 4.5L engine sound. Congrats on your new purchase. The car looks great.

 

Congrats to you as well! Yes the previous owner disabled the exhaust valves

 

Congrats.....gorgeous car!

 

congrats!

 

Congratulations! Welcome to the family.

 

Congrats! Beautiful Car!

Congratulations and welcome to “Club 458!” The 458 is nothing short of epic! It is such an awesome ride. Cheers to you and best wishes for many happy “s-miles” in your new baby.

 

Thanks everyone! Did another 100 miles today. This thing is awesome!!!

 

Congrats.
I moved from 12 years ownership of an immaculate 911 993 S to the 458 Spider a few weeks back; welcome to the clan.

 

Love the rosso stripe on those gold rake seats!

Congratulations. It is the only place to go. From Porsche the obvious next move up is Ferrari. Anything else is a lateral move, maybe a slight lateral slight angled moved up. Potresti goderti il tup Ccvallino rampante. May you enjoy your prancing stallion.
