Super-car Dave and Sapphire Blue is tops. As long as your not running a big cart/club bag, two sets of clubs will fit in the back...fold down rear seats, lay down a yoga mat or blanket as not to scratch up anything, take your driver & 3wood out and lay on top. Also one bag will fit in the front pass compartment if flying solo so thats 3 bags total ! Have fun with your new ride and interior pics when you have time. T

Bertrand, You are correct... Durn dust! This is better, but not perfect.

poc62 has one which I have driven. It is a German mussel car. Putting the power to the ground is difficult. Search for Top Gears review on it. Jeremy has an interesting perspective.

Search is back on after being scammed out of a deposit from a title skipper that skipped the state. This car will be a track car with a 5.3L LM4, ported 862s, LS9 cam and long tube headers. Target goal is 420-430HP and 2700 lb, caged with almost full interior. Car will also have 924 GTS front bumper and headlights.

I'm with ya here. I am not a Ferrari guy. Never was. I appreciate their history but never was drawn to their cars. Drove a 458 at the Exotic Racing track in Vegas a few years back and it was hands down the best sports car I have ever driven. But even still, I wouldn't have one in my dream garage. Now the FF. That to me is cool. It has every thing you mentioned above and 4 proper seats. If you ever drive one I'd love to hear your thoughts.

EDIT: After I wrote this I went to do my morning check on the BaT auctions and wouldn't you know. An FF is up there for the first time.

Nicole, Love the Mussel Car...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OK, it's not a 458, but its fast, dare I say "practical' and good clean fun with relatively low service costs... Missed this one!

POC62 has an FF for his daily driver. You might reach out to him. If you get a 2012 and later 7 years of maintenance is included

Thanks Mark and 6er,

The FF is just obscure, unique and high enough up the performance chain to get me to look into it further and start to contemplate options etc. Offers just enough practicality - - - oh heck who am I kidding, practical and Ferrari do not belong in the same sentence...

I'll reach out to POC62 next week to get his impressions.
