I didn't know anything about that, but I'm not surprised.

That's actually not bad if you really think about it. This car outruns racecars that need to be tuned every 10 or 20 laps and have to have their complete drivetrains rebuilt after every race. 20K miles seems pretty good with all things considered.

Yeah, that's true. It's just something that I would think would be covered under warranty you know, but I guess the amount of labor is the factor. I mean just removing 150 tiny screws to get the underbody off is no easy task in itself :p

I'm guessing that when 20K comes, the 4 year part of the warranty will have already gone bye bye, but I agree, either you warranty the car or you don't

BTW, I just noticed the 430 in your sig, I was looking at a red coupe in my local dealership the other day, I have to say that that car has the nicest interior of just about any other on the road. The exterior ain't bad either. In my opinion...the 430 spider is one if the top 5 best looking cars on the road; the others being, in no particular order; Aston Martin Vanquish S, MB CLS (sport package), Porsche Carrera GT, Murcielago Roadster and the Maybach 62.

You're really not planning to drive it that much? 5K a year isn't that much if you think about it

Yeah... That was what the Christmas comment was about But, I'm really thinking about selling it. I'm still in my quest for a DTM if I can ever find one for the right price And if it takes a little to long I just recently went to go re-test drive a Vanq S. I was contemplating a SL65, Vanq S but opted for the Spider. The S is just breath taking and I have yet to see one in South Beach. Slap some HREs, a Royal Excellence CF Airbox and Rear Valance and put some straight pipes in... I can already see it or better yet hear it

BTW: You should really consider the Players Run next year, A few of my buddies and myself are going out for it
