Re: nick's new starbucks getter
Is the guy in the picture the owner of that car? If not, interesting that the F430 owner, parked on a crosswalk in front of Starbucks patio cafe. Then again, one of the main attractions for Ferrari lovers is the "Hey, look at me! I own this car!" factor. To me the car is obvious enough without having to park it in everyone's face but hey, that's just me.

Re: nick's new starbucks getter
Ron, if you can distinguish a particular SD Starbucks from that pic, Starbucks clearly hasn't blanketed US w/enough of their stores.... 
Jeff, it's a modest pic....what would've been priceless is a pic of 430 parked sideways across the handicapped spots in front of Starbucks....or in the drive-through line at McD's/InNOut Burgers.....

Jumping to conclusions, are we?
Great car Nick. Enjoy...and more pics please...

Thank you all. It truly is a great car. But I am a convertible person (I need the attention
Now that you've broken her viginity , better hide it away so you can maximize it's flip value before the Flip430 Spider arrives . Enjoy her in your garage , Sir Nixalot .
( I'm giving this guy a taste of his own medicine as he gets such pleasure barging in and posting in similar tone on other's new Porsche owner posts , ususally refering to some financial aspect- nothing to do with driving pleasure ).

You parked that Ferrari there so you could impressed those three chicks, didn't you Nick?
No- he parked there so he could buy more fried pork rinds ( barbeque flavored ones to match the resale-Rossa Corsa ) at that Vons market.
MKW, you aren't implying that the fine folks down in SD wouldn't be able to appreciate a Draeger's-type grocery store?
BTW, keep hearing that 430 premiums are rapidly compressing down to $50K zipcode...rumors of high, early produc vols and dealers putting more early 430s in hands of non-flipping buyers at MSRP....gotta flip that 430 fast to some savvy guy who can't figure out how to get a 430 at MSRP this yr....such a sophisticated "investment" scheme

The Whole Foods (former Ralphs) on Villa La Jolla Dr. is high end enough for an area where fish tacos are considered haute cuisine .

For that you get to drive it.
I agree the premium has fallen but they are still getting $70,000 over. It probably will level out at $50,000.
Re: nick's new starbucks getter
Nick,
Could you do me a favor and post more pics of the car? (especially ones showing the interior and how it works with the exterior).
My 360 was red on black but I was always a bit bored with a black interior. The more and more I think about it, I'm considering doing the 430 in a red on tan so I'm looking for good examples of the combo.
I am also considering a yellow exterior, but then I'm afraid I'd be stuck with a black interior again which I don't want to do.

OK Nick, next time I'm in the area, I'll pay for a round of golf at Torrey Pines in return. But we'll take my 997S there because I don't think we can fit the golf bags in your 430.
