The interior of the Scuderia is so plush with red handstitching against black leather and CF galor.

That's nice to hear about the reliability. After my 911, I wouldn't mind getting into a low mileage Modena even.

There's a 2007 F430 with 4K miles that is a steal (trade in that the dealer is willing to let go at a loss) but unfortunately it's a spyder and fire engine red.

A friend has a 1988 328GTS, fairly low miles but it looks great for it's age. He bought it used ~5 years ago, and beside the weak A/C (a design flaw) it's decent reliability. He also has some friend's who can get him Ferrari OEM parts for wholesale so that helps alot too.

The other owner of the company I worked at had a new Aston Martin DB8/9 (can't remember which one). Never heard much about that car, the owner wasn't much of a car guy more of a stats symbol for him. It was neat to see the F430 and DB9 parked in front of the building in Los Angeles.

I'll try get pics at the F-car California launch party tonight. Going clubbing after so not sure if I want to bring my digital camera along.

Oops! I totally forgot, so I will take some pics today.
