    Sure hope this guy is handicapped with a placard or handicap license plate...if not what an ass for parking in a handicap space. This is coming from me as a full left leg amputee with a placard that see's way too many exotic cars with no placard and perfectly able people parking in handicap spots just because they have an exotic car...pisses me off to no end.

    Rant over! Beautiful car...

    You can rest easy. This is a closed parking lot for the monthly 2 hour car meet. Every space gets filled.

    This looks so much like somewhere in the Caribbean. Beautiful picture. You rarely see a picture of a Ferrari in that sort of landscape

    I think green in a real en Vogue at the moment. I wonder if they will look super dated in 5 years???

    My next car will be some sort of metallic green..... hence the question.


    May the Horse be with you

    @Condor Man - Some see green as an unlucky car color. Ferrari raced very few 'green' cars and was much more associated with red cars. This was reflected in production cars with very few green cars sold. It would be a brave Ferrari dealer who ordered a green 'demo' car. Green is a tricky color to get right with there being lots of wrong shades of green vs nice attractive shades. New color shades are planned years in advance and some colors are intentionally made controversial to enhance the attention they receive with the public. Porsche did this with Lava Orange and then with Lizard Green. Birch Green was also a tough sell as I recall a GT3 sitting for ages, even when priced attractively. Colors go through cycles and there is some cross over with the fashion industry. Green for cars seems to be a passing fad that then fades again after a few years of intense interest.
    Ultimately it is whatever color makes you happy; keeping in mind that the buyer pool for less popular colors is rather small. There was a dark green Ferrari tdF that was tailor made but the general consensus was a build spec fail. One person's idea of the perfect tailor made build often doesn't receive a warm reception in the resale market...

    Wow, I wasn't expecting such a conservative speech from you!

    FWIW, I'm all in for new/rare/wrong colours... Actually I believe there cant' be WRONG colours.

    As always beauty is in the eye of the beholder. As you know tailor made is famous for among other things it's rare and unique paint offerings. There is no 'wrong' color for the original buyer but others later in a car's life may bring a different perspective to a color choice.
    Thanks Garretto!
