After a 6 month search, I’m now a rather proud owner of a 2007 F430 spider. Purchased from Scottsdale Ferrari as a CPO. Such an exhilarating driving experience. Look forward to seeing other Ferrari folks on oahu.

Congratulations. We had a very spirited discussion about this in my thread... Is Oahu a terrible place to own a sports car? What has been your experience driving the 430 on the island? Fun or frustrating?
It’s only been 3 weeks so I’m still in my honeymoon period of ownership. But so far pretty good. I drive it at least 25 miles a day and beside some silly fast and furious types it’s been good. I got stuck in h1 traffic last week, where I could feel my clutch life declining . But I’m just thrilled to be driving a Ferrari. When I’ve felt a driver is trying to race or hanging out of window with cell phone, I just pull onto the slow lane and simmer I purchased the car to drive, so I’ve been using it to it’s full. Dodging the potholes is a sport Unto itself my champagne problems include getting a headache when pushing 9,000 rpm in 2nd through the tunnel on h3.

If you haven't already, I suggest you take a look at joining the Hawaii FCA (Ferrari Club of America) chapter. Its a very active group with a lot of events and runs scheduled. It will give you the chance to get that 430 out. Several members are here on FChat.
Thanks. I’ve been emailing with Eileen to get membership sorted. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app

Thanks @yronZFF Right. Lived here for 7 years. But totally feels those potholes less in the Range. I’m getting pretty good at dodging them. But When I do hit one, it does send a shiver funny that pothole density totally plays a part In my route planning.
Great to meet you today, Omar! I enjoyed the FCA Hawaii tech session, and hope you did, too. Now we need to get with Ron and submit our "Owner" applications to Ferrari Chat! Aloha, Bob
