    As an update, I have not heard anything further from Ferrari Maserati of Alberta regarding my request to purchase a Ferrari Pista. Of course, I still have my 2005 Ferrari F430F1 which was damaged by Ferrari Maserati of Vancouver.

    Several months ago, I sold some of my Ferrari shares and purchased a Tesla Model 3, AWD, Premium Edition as my daily driver. It's so much fun to drive that I'm seriously considering purchasing a Tesla Roadster 2.0 when it comes out in approximately 2020! Still, I think I will always love my 2005 Ferrari F430F1, and of course being part of the Ferrari community :)!

    It’s just a step up from Prius, or supporting Lewis Hamilton in F1...... well, it’s a few steps from that lowest of the low, but almost as bad!

    Very impressive! No internal combustion so instant power and torque throughout the range. It feels surreal and futuristic, even beyond the advanced and user-friendly interface, in the sense that the car feels like it's moving without a power source due to the absence of engine noise. An extra benefit is that driving an all electric car allows you to legally drive in the carpool lane (with the appropriate sticker)! I highly recommend taking one for a test drive!

    Hey what’s with the “Dr. Lawrence Miller”? Sounds a little pretentious don’t you think? How about just “Larry Miller”. It frankly sounds like you are a chiropractor or some other pretend doctor trying to make out like a real doctor.

    Have deposit on 3 model. But would make sense to sell the maserati cc Spyder first. It's been a great car and has 19k on it w solid service history. But four seats might be helpful.

    I'm happy to hear you have a deposit on a model 3. It is very spacious in the front and back seat as well as the trunk. By the way, if I'm not mistaken, you may use my referral code at https://ts.la/lawrence61552 to receive 6 months of free supercharging with the purchase of your model 3. I believe up to 5 friends may use this code for 6 months of free supercharging with the purchase of a Model 3, S, or X. Take care and all the best!

    I have still not heard anything further from Ferrari Maserati of Alberta regarding my request to purchase a Ferrari Pista. At this point, it's probably safe to conclude they are not going to grant my request or even follow-up. I suspected as much early on, but always believe in giving people a chance to do the right thing - even if they do not at the end of the day. In my view, they missed a golden opportunity to infuse some much needed positive publicity into the Ferrari brand. As for me, I continue to enjoy driving my 2005 Ferrari F430F1 :).

    That's kind of what I thought would happen although with low oil prices in Alberta their economy hasn't been so great so I don't think their Ferrari dealer is booming. They also don't have the rich Chinese like Vancouver who are now the largest group of buyers of Ferraris around here.

    Perhaps they read this thread and decided it was best to decline future publicity of any sort.

    I don't know why not? I don't think you have to be 'Silver Subscribed' to read the 'Politics and Religion' section?

    Yes, you do have to be Silver Subscribed to view the P&R section. I think it makes perfect sense.
