bye bye R8, hello 599 GTB

I just took delivery of my 2007 599 GTB Fiorano (Red/Tan - 528 miles) last week. Funny how i said i was going to hold on to the R8 for a while. i guess 6 weeks is still a while. Anyways, found the right car and the right price so the deal was done. up until now, i never bought a Ferrari since they were always over MSRP. thanks to our economy, i bought one for well under MSRP.
i just logged over 300 miles on my 599 this weekend. the car seems to drive better and better over time. i think the ecu is adapting to the way i drive. the shifts seem to be smoother than when i first drove it. in short, it is a supercar that can be driven everyday. i love it! here are some pics. enjoy.

unfortunately pictures just don't do this car justice. it is a "must see" car. when you see it in person, you realize what a work of art is really is.
