Just like the picture of your little white car with orange rotors?

Do you have a car trailer? I will pay you handsomly if you could tow it here.

You would be welcome to drive the CGT once you arrived.

LOL, the CGT ride would almost make it worth it

I do have a 2 car trailer, but from South Florida you will be much cheaper off with pro's like intercity. And I have driven my truck plenty already including a few 15k mile trips circling the entire country :-)

I noticed ride height is low too. Explains why the previous owner insatlled a front axle lift in it. Still haven't found a truck. Damn!
Oh, may be not for 2000 miles. So, your 16m comes with aftermarket suspension? Or, is axle lift a factory option? White 16ms are very sexy!

Front axle lift is an aftermarket system. Ferrari did not offer this for the Scuderia. I think they now offer it on the 458, not sure?

The ride height is adjustable, so no need for aftermarket suspension parts to lower the car.

Lowering these cars on the stock suspension creates drastic handling problems, but most people have no idea on suspension setup, plus these lowered cars handle great at the cars 'n coffee parking lots.
