The TL Needed a 4.5L V8, a Folding Hardtop, and Red Paint So......
I met up with a family friend who's been collecting high-end cars for years. I heard about his latest acquisition and wanted to check it out in person.
It's a 2013 model and was delivered about 6 weeks ago. The owner has already taken it to VIR and has about 1100 miles on it.
These aren't professional photos, I was talking with the owner more than I was taking pictures, but I thought I would share anyway
$800 a pop for dem horses on the headrests...
The owner also outfitted the car with a full CF interior. The extra pieces are found on the doors, door sills, and throughout the dashboard...
Even though he just got it, he was hinting pretty strongly that the F12 Berlinetta has his attention
I have some more pictures and can post those if wanted. They are pretty similar to the ones above so I didn't want to bore anyone with the same picture over and over
You can thank me now

Sadly no ride in it since rain was moving in. Hopefully next time
Here are a few more. I'm still sorting through the rest.
And where the beast sleeps...
Last time I was there, there was a 512BB and a 550 Maranello sitting where the couches are. 996 Turbo S was parked behind it His DD is a S550 and his wife has the first CLS500 that was in the state back in 2005!

Nah, I didn't touch it. I didn't even sit in in 
Hopefully next time I'm in town from school I'll have a chance to hitch a ride!
Here's the rest of the pictures I thought were upload worthy
Drops the top in 14 seconds It's going in reverse order here though...

The description alone knew it was a 458 Spider.
Car looks beautiful, lucky man. What does he do for a living?
Also, with all the add-ons, did he reveal how much it costs?

DaYUM. 
I'm with Costco, never was a fan of convertible exotics, especially the old F430, but wow. Nice pics too.

Gotta tell ya' though....
A few of us went to the Ferrari Club of Kansas City a few weekends ago. A guy drove up in his 458 Italia. Behind him, his wife pulled in with a Maserati Quattroporte. It sounded better than the Italia did!
