I rarely get approached by anyone when driving the (somehow invisible to car-guy radar) 911. For me, a red Ferrari (love your F8, by the way) would be simply insane. I had a lovely black F12 for a little while and I'd get approached by someone every time I parked somewhere or even when filling the tank. Every. Time. My current recently acquired F-car is boring gray (that's 'mercan for Grigio Silverstone) and I thought I was doing better after a couple fill-ups with no one paying me any notice, but just today I pulled into a parking lot for 10 minutes and was approached twice by people who wanted to compliment the car. I was friendly, of course, and wound up talking to one of them who was clearly a car guy in a loud-and-no-longer-anywhere-close-to-stock Cadillac - but if you want to go somewhere and NOT be a people person, Ferrari is not the car to drive. I still love both cars and I completely understand why you've got one of each, too, BuddyG.

Crazy thing is driving the 911 the other day I look in my rearview mirror and I see someone hanging out the passenger window of a car. I Have no idea what the guy was doing but was worried he was going to fall out. As I slow down to turn left they come by and the guys got a camera and he was snapping pictures and/or taking a video.

If you know you know.

Beautiful F8 there!

Are you guys buying the couple-hundred-mile Ferrari's I seem to see for sale everywhere (flippers i assume) or have you worked your way into Ferrari's good grace$?

A bit jealous
You have both of my dream cars
I sold my ‘18 Turbo and had to decide between getting a year old 488 spider vs the new TTS.
I decided on the TTS
F8 spider would be fantastic but did not even inquire about the wait list after I tried to get on the wait list for a new F8 after my name never coming up for the 488.
I live in Michigan as well. What dealership did you get your F8 from if you don’t mind me asking?

The only Ferrari dealer in Michigan is Cauley Ferrari in the Detroit area. I ordered it Nov 2019 and it was delivered Oct 2020. It is a fantastic car!

Awesome.
wasn’t sure if you were able to finagle yourself from an out of state dealer somehow ( even though you are not supposed to) Cauley didn’t have many F8 allocations.
Great looking cars. Enjoy both.
