    I am finally a Ferrari owner as of today! Just took delivery and have already put a few hundred miles on the F430. Of course it had to rain today here in Northern California. I have been putting off subscribing to this forum but now I don't have any more excuses!

    Wow a few hundred miles in one day?! My kind of guy :) I'm sure I'd do the same thing.

    Beautiful car, congradulations!

    Here are the specs. Yellow was not my first choice but it is growing on me really fast. The CCB/ wheels still look somewhat clean after a few hundred miles in the rain!
    Thanks for the positive comments.

    Thanks for posting the window sticker. Cool to be able to see that.

    Question: what did it take for you to be able to buy new F-car? Usually this is reserved for repeat customers. Very cool.

    CCB's are a dream. Consistently short stops and wheels stay clean...bonus!

    Great looking car.

    You should definitly come down to Santana Row some Saturday morning (9:30-10-ish). On sunny days there'll be 50-60 cars there of all sorts. You'll have the only yellow 430.

    If you're not sure where we hang out, PM me and I'll give you the details.

    Hope to see you.

    Beautiful F430. Good luck.
    Curious as to why CCB's are listed as an option. I thought they were standard?

    It's a used 2007 with a few thousand miles. Not quite new but new to me (It has not even been registered yet). Just like most people, I am not special and probally would not have been able to purchase a new one any time soon. CCB were an option on 2007s. I will try and get some more pictures soon.

    OK, I understand. It's a 2007 and CCB'S are an option.
