    And, it is even easier now to do.

    When I went back to the FF at the store to get the VIN, I looked inside the car and couldn't find the VIN plate on top of the steering column.
    Then I noticed, Ferrari now displays the VIN in the lowest part of the front windshield on the driver's side (similar to most other modern cars these days).

    Don't know when they started doing this, but it makes it much easier to see it or take a quick picture of it.

    I just realized my 458 displays the VIN the same way as the FF. Here's a pic of it in my garage.
    Never realized they changed the location of the VIN plate.

    LOL.

    The one thing I notice is the models that get hired at Ferrari events are getting taller and taller. Especially in high heels.
    I'm 5'9" tall and most of them tower over me these days.

    I'm probably about the same height as bdelp in that pic in post#18 of this thread. :)

    Hank Carpenter of FCI brought one to the FCA North Carolina chapter holiday party. This car, with 612 bhp I believe sounds sensational and it has a beautiful interior. Can't blame Ferrari for tapping into this market segment, but most guys can't get past the wide rear end.

    I saw a Jeep commercial yestersay showing leather seats with very Ferrari style piping. Got me to thinking.................Jeep and Ferrari are now part of the Fiat group, why not some cross company style and technology swaps?

    I have in mind a Rocky Mountain Edition, trail rated FF. It would need raised suspension, huge wheels with off road tires and a low range. Style wise, camouflage paint, brush guards, spare gas can with embossed cavallino and gun rack. Perhaps Berretta or Perazzi could provide special edition guns to complete the package.

    Enough with the wussy Nieman Marcus editions, billionaire ranchers need a Ferrari that fills THEIR needs.
