I know this is my first post, but I have been lurking for some time before becoming a member and appreciate all I have learned here.

I have always dreamed the day would come, and it did last Monday.

I am one really grateful guy. Though it is winter, I got lucky to have clear roads and good weather to drive it from Continental Auto Sports in Chicago back to the middle of no where Iowa.

She is fully sorted and serviced from an authorized dealer with 8400 miles.

The car in the flesh is 100 times more than what I could have dreamed for.

I still cannot believe she is mine, though I am looking at her right now in my office/garage......Steve

Thanks all again. In the end, what sealed the deal for me was sitting in an all leather with carbon cabin and the pop of the yellow stiching on black is killer. I have also seen red on black and that also is stunning.

In reality, all F-Cars are stunning ......Steve

Hey Steve!! I just got almost the exact same car!! I've also got the Giallo with yellow stitching and complete leather wrapped interior! The only difference on mine is that wheels were powder coated black. I got mine from Lake Forest Super Cars in Illinois. I'm loving mine as well thus far. Congrats on yours!
