GTS got a new roommate

Hope it doesn't get jealous. Keeping the GTS though. I like to drive it on the weekends and every once in awhile during the week. The 488 GTB is more for an "outing" and track days.

Congrats. Looks gorgeous. The GTS is nice but the 488 is simply better in every way (including $$)

That's more like a new landlord (not roommate), 488 is Boss.

That is very nice !
I think that is at the dealership but if that is your garage I'd really like to see more of it.

Ha, no man that's the factory floor in Modena.
When your car gets made they send you a series of three pix of your car being made. One with just a frame, one with paint but no engine and the final one of the completed car waiting for testing and then shipping. Personally I miss the way they used to do it with the car diary in the leather bound book with pics and autographs of builders but I guess this works.

Well, yeah. Turbos and all. My old Speciale was my favorite or the first year 458 before they got rid of the snap crackle pop in year two. Sign of the times I guess.

Yep, sitting in the garage now. I'll post decent pic when I get some time. Meanwhile, bought wife a GLC. Not bad. Also, I saw my first other GTS. Copper wheels. Hmmmm, might have to sell mine now lol.
