congrats! what a car!
first mod for me would be the seats - i LOVE the racing buckets from the 458.

from time to time i´m also searching a 458 but even more a 430Scud.
i should have never sold my Giallo Modena F430:














such a automotiv-drama you can´t experience with another car brand. positive as also negativ ($).

I agree, you never should have sold that 430!
Beautiful!

I actually really like the Daytona seats---I have the LW buckets in the GT3 and love them (and aftermarket alcantara--Carbon fiber seats in my ZR1) so wanted something different. they are super supportive and comfortable.

automotive-drama is a great word(s) (in a good way) for this car

Nice. Lived on Springfield when I was in Dental School. I miss Anderson's.

Does Gabriel's Gate still have the best wings?

When was dental school?
I graduated UB Med school in '92!
Haven't been to Gabriels gate in a while, but spent a lot of time during med school there, post exam week
Anderson's still going strong with beef on 'weck

I graduated in '98. Loved my time there. I do not miss the times I couldn't feel my face walking to class in the winter, though.

I have been looking for the racing buckets for my red 2012 458. It hasn't been an easy task. I would recommend anyone who wants them to buy a car with them already.
You're car was beautiful. It's hard when you realize you sold a car you probably shouldn't have.

My unsolicited $.02. I've had my Huracan since Jan. of 2015, which that kind of tenure is rare for me. I will say that the Huracan is an amazing car, and surprisingly, to me, it's worth the premium over the GT3 for how it makes you feel, but you almost have to have both, and if not, a GT3 then. However, as a drivers car, I think the 458 would be better. I prefer the looks of the Huracan, but you can tell, it's a bit more focused on that, than drivers appeal. With some suspension tweaks, and if they could do something about the rate at which it likes to understeer, it would be incredible, but those two things would perhaps make someone want to consider something a bit more tail happy. That being said, I'll probably only sell it when the SL comes out, but still, something to be said about the F cars.

UB. If you graduated in '99 you should know Doctors Wohlstetter, Grossman and Habib. They were my housemates as I knew Dr. Wohlstetter from Binghamton when we went to undergrad there.

Springfield Ave, yes.

I'm standing next to Brett now - you guys were definitely in the same class, as were the other guys.
