They did a fantastic job on these. There is an over/under in my office. But I’m guessing this will be with me a long time. I really love it.

Outer banks Sasquatch edition.

Nicely done! The Broncos are sharp, I must admit! I will be a diehard jeep guy forever… But they did do a great job with the bronco!

I’m not sure how it happened but somehow I now drive a station wagon.

Congrats on the new ride Ralph!! Glad to see you getting it dirty!

Just had our weekly meet. Somehow things worked out to the point where two of my guys were in my other cars. So I was able to get 3 of the current 4 in one pic. A rare occasion.

Had to post. And I think I mentioned I was trading the urus for a Turbo GT.

The ppf on the Turbo S was beat to shit from hard driving. It did it’s job, but needed to be replaced. I went stealth (matte) to mix it up a bit. The same guy did my Cayanne and he took the liberty do stealth there too. They both look super. And what a pair. I’m in car heaven.

Still loving the Bronco just as much as these heavy weights. It’s a really fun awesome daily. And love just cruising in it.

Awesome Seth!! They look great brotha!!

I also love the fact a dude brought a mini bongo truck to the car show. I guess they’re making their way here because I’ve seen about 10 different ones riding around town.

They crushed the new broncos.

Chevy could have done the same with the blazer. But failed. Huge kudus to Ford. What a great job.

Lol, yeah, I love the styling of the new broncos. Too much electronics for me though. I was referring to this little guy

Ha. I love it.

Yes. That was a hit.

We encourage all car lovers and all cars. Building bridges through the love of cars.

That car got a ton of attention today.

Some may say a backwards move or downgrade….like going from a 116500 Daytona to a 116520….but I’ve been thinking about this move for awhile.
488GTB to 458 spider.
I weighed all facts….how I use the car, the amount of performance/power I need, the tech I need/want/use, what styling cues I love in a Ferrari, the sound I want (this one definitely holds importance), etc…
I decided to go the other way….some may say…good choice, some may say….should’ve stuck with what you had.
For me the 458 is an epic car, and will always hold a special place in the Ferrari lineup…I love that fact, as well as all Ferrari history…it meets all my needs and I brought one home yesterday!
Last N/A Ferrari V8, last Pininfarina design.
Value wise, I think it’s a wash now and going forward, as the 458 will always be revered, IMO.
Very happy with my decision, this car is so good (for me), and those who know…know! This spec has everything I need and more.
Thanks for sticking with the long winded post!
Quick & dirty pics…drove it in the rain yesterday…

Right on Richard!! That's a fantastic choice, I have a special place in my heart for that car as you know...super congrats, a car that is getting harder to find, beauty spec as well. Enjoy that raw V8....get yourself a Capristo Valve controller, it really opens the sound gateway to heaven.

Appreciate it Nicholas! Thank you so much!

I had a 458 spider a few years ago.

I very much miss her. That was a truly epic car. And I miss her. Someday I’d like to get one back. What a car.

Huge congrats to you my man. I think this was a super move.

That’s the best way brother.

I’m about to go pick yo the Ultimae and enjoy some of the nice weather. Glad I took the day off today.

Given the current market, I see myself keeping the Ultimae for quite some time. Which I’m thinking is a good thing.

Congrats Richard! It's great choice! Personally I remember thinking when the 458 was released, it was the first really good looking Ferrari since the 355. The 360 and 430, are exotic but from some angles, they just aren't that good looking. The 458 has a lot of great features and being N/A and the sound will always make that a special car.

[Dino944]

Since it seems to be "Ferrari Friday" here is my 1989 328GTS. Classic rosso corsa over rosso and crema, and of course the gated shifter. Happy Friday guys!



Next to a friend's Testarossa

i've always considered the 458 to be one of the best designed cars. that and the NA v8 makes it a no brainer to become a classic and very sought after value wise. that's a keeper

Oooh, it's Ferrrrr-are-weeeee day :)

Congrats! You made the right move IMHO as you know I have a very soft spot for the 458.

What a spec too. Love the seats!

So good! Love the color! The engine is sitting out of my 911T right now, getting all new gaskets and new clutch.
