    Reminds me of a story.

    The young bull says to the old bull: let's run down there and ourselves a cow.

    The old bull replies: let's walk down there and get them all! :cool:

    Adaptive lights, they turn into a corner. It works well on a twisty mountain road, I have to say.

    waste of money.
    driving your 458 at night is unwise, as bugs may splatter the windshield! :D

    Very pretty indeed. Congratulations.

    It will also run well enough at 8,000 feet in a Rocky Mountain High.

    i cut to the end of the thread after reading a few posts so excuse me if this has been said. You'll be able to buy used 458 Spiders long before 3 years. And wait until they are available for less than list. It won't be long. Also, there might be places where u can order a 458 spider and get it in less than 3 years.

    Thanks.

    Rosso Corsa was my first choice. The other rc's that I found had over 2500 miles and some fatal flaw option wise. My second choice was bright silver. Could not find ANY silver. My third choice was white but my wife said "yuk"

    the car is pretty much equipped as I would have ordered it. Maybe add auto dimming mirrors...but I don't drive at night very much. if I want factory Pit Speed aka cruise control it can be added at the dealer for $2k. I hardly ever use cc in my other cars. we'll see how it goes. May have it done at my next free oil change. :cool:

    Nah... you did this all on your own: so don't blame me! :)

    Enjoy it and send us plenty of pics when it arrives. You earned it and you deserve it.
