    Space I rented. A bunch of car (and some other types) enthusiasts got together and built these man caves. Buddies in my cars and coffee group. They did this before I joined the group or I would have gotten in on the build. But luckily I was able to rent this space. It's got a great social aspect to it too, at least pre-Covid.

    So several years ago I was photographing a local car show. It was hard not to notice her.

    A little later she and a friend approached me and asked if I was a photographer (had my camera bag, and this is pre-cell phone camera times). "Yes," I reply.

    (Insert thick Russian accent) "We are two girls from Russia, we have nothing like this in Russia. Can you take some pictures of us we can share with our friends back home?"

    "Of course, I said!"

    I have some experience shooting models and the one in the white top for sure had modeling experience. We had a good time with it.

    After that these two women approached me and said something like "Do you only take pictures of skinny babes or would you mind taking ours too?" LOL.

    I sent the Russian the pictures. Got back a quick "thank you very much, you Americans are so nice." Last I heard from them.

    Dang! You were living the Ferrari Lifestyle even before you owned one! Well done. Now, you're gong to be a complete magnet! Welcome to the madness!

    Congrats! I purchased a 2017 Cali T from the other dealer in Chicago (Continental) last weekend. Small world. If you were looking at the time you probably saw mine online - the Grigio Alloy with Handling Especiale package. I’m in love and hope you are too!

    Bought my 2015 California T June 2020 sight unseen from Sascha at Westlake. Had it shipped from the West Coast to Connecticut.
    Only regret was not doing this sooner....

    Wow, that was the only other color combo I was considering. Really narrows down the prospects. That's one beautiful machine, congratulations. Well, I gotta find another car in beautiful metallic blue. We shall see!

    yes I hear you. With the wife along it always goes on sport with bumpy road setting (keeps the suspension in comfort mode) or just straight comfort. The difference is very noticeable.

    Grigio Alloy is a gorgeous color on the Cali. Have you posted pics of your new California @DrStig ?

    Have a Grigio Alloy 2016 Cali T also. Will post pictures if DrStig does (LOL). The color is outrageous. It's not the red Ferrari look but people go wild for the color.

    I have not gotten any proper photos yet but here is a quick one. It’s really an impossible color to capture correctly. It can be bright silver or ice blue depending on the ambient lighting. Sorry for thread hijack.

    Congratulations- my car has a twin, right down to the yellow calipers! I looked for months as well, the Magneride was a must, as were the diamond rims, full power seats and cameras. The rest of it was gravy and I have added some carbon fiber. Enjoy.
