Picked up my first Pony! 458 Italia!
Since, I've been waiting to replace my old F10 and waiting for the used ones to trickle into the market, I've been content with my Escalade and a Z4 but I had to scoop up this 458 a client was selling.
2011 Ferrari 458 Italia with ALL the options. Tons of carbon fiber and options likes the backup camera and etc. It's no daily replacement but will be fun for the summer! Now I'm off to find a way to extend the warranty. It's out in a few months and no way should I be owning this car without it! I'm out of town and will be picking it and driving it back this weekend. Hoping to get some good pics out in the sun.

The alcantara inserts are great. I had them on the Cali T and they are really good about holding your butt in place and they breathe better than leather. It also has that aftermarket LaFerrari bridge. Better definitely get the power warranty because that year model has some risk of the DCT sensors failing. Check the threads at Fchat for more info.
I am sure you will love it! |

I remember you had a 458 along with your FF; when did you get rid of yours? I just got offered a one-off Bentley GT3R in Silver from client of mine. He's been on the fence about selling it, and last I checked it was no longer listed for sale, but he'd sell it if I asked. Here it is: How'd you like yours? My dad just totaled his car, so I'm contemplating getting the GT3R for him.

The GT3R has the RS7 engine and an oem akrapovic exhaust which means its pretty fast and sounds great. It is a heavy beast but they tightened up the dampers so it handles reasonably well for its weight. The interior is about as cush is gets with loads of CF and alcantara. Its like a palace in there with the all nice touches but the actual electronics are old/dated. Its a looker though from the outside and fine for a GT cruiser on the express ways. Lowered, tuned and 22's

Congrats! We picked up a 458 a couple years ago and it is, by far, the best driving/most involving car I've ever experienced. Oh, and I see you also have a Panigale V4S We have one of those two. Best bike I've ever ridden Last edited by OpenFlash; 07-11-2018 at 03:16 AM.. |

The 458 is by far the most expensive car I've owned but it's worth it. Just got my insurance bill... $5600 How do you like the V4? I ordered the V4 Speciale, rode it for a few days but it's too hot in Nebraska so it's in the shop getting a ton of little mods done. I love how cool the engine is compared to the 899 Panis. My leg hair doesn't get burned off anymore haha

I used to have a 899 as well (which I sold for a RSV4 a few years back). The v4s is a million times better in every respect. But I do get a fair amount of heat blasting my butt in stop and go traffic on warm days. Not as bad as the 899 which was basically a gas powered castration device |

I think my 458 with Geico was 1800 a year... and I had a high 7 figure umbrella.

It's listed as that already. Even with the multi-car and home discount it's not getting cheaper. I have it at 5,000 miles annually. Insurance payments suck when you're young, single and have no kids.

That is true, hopefully it can keep me away from a new car for at least 2 years. I just went to go check out the Cafe Racer, and for $11,000 it's an amazing bike! There's a used 2017 with 750 miles for like $9000 out in NC so I plan on getting that. Should be here in about a week. Quote:
Some insurance companies don't even allow a 458 and my age. I tried shopping around and State Farm straight up shut me down.

Nice!
458 is the best car I've ever had, driving pleassure is uncomparable with any other car. Here You have some mine - for comparison I'm going to upgrade full to carbon: - carbon plenum - carbon engine interior - carbon dashboard - carbon front wings - carbon rear diffuser so far i did: - inside carbon door cover - carbon gearbox stick "la ferrari" - carbon intake box everything from Official ferrari dealer which - cost a lot photos: and with my new daily car (G500 4.0 v8 biturbo 2017) |

Yes, You are lucky!
Carbon dashboard is ~8k euro net. but i had not choce, that was the youngest and lowest milage car available so far... so equipment was on second place... Yes, in the future I'm going to buy new G63, interior is so much better but i don't like the thing that new G class is "more oval" then 463 model. So probably - I'll keep both - G500 will curry my dog for rides |
