    For most here you have followed somewhat my journey from deciding whether to complete my F-8 order sight unseen. Many miles in Florida this winter to test drive several F-8's but could not get over the lack of sound from my 488. Why order a car which does not have the sound I like and enjoy but really looks fantastic. I made the mistake of driving several 812's which immediately left me wanting more NA V-12 sound. I tried to buy several used 812's but in the end of not making a deal, decided to order one to my specifications. I know I drove my salesman nuts over the GPF not being in any USA models even the 2020. We decided that if my 2020 did in fact have the GPF, I would not have to take the car. Then while reviewing the Ferrari MODIS.....no GPF!!!! Then Covid 19 happened and my car was built and finished by the shut down. It somehow made it on a boat and is ready for delivery. It's crazy that I miss my 488 and hope those memories will fade with the 812 starting tomorrow. Thanks for reading and following my journey!
    As SoCal to az thread in the Pista section was titled, things are about to become real! And of course, I had the exhaust valves pinned open 100% just like my 488.

    Congratulations Dave! Hearing that 812 exhaust especially without GPF will make you forget about your 488 in a heartbeat! Can’t wait to hear your impressions.

    Can't go wrong with red on a ferrari in my dictionary.
    Reminds me when I picked up my F12 from showroom.
