This isn't really my bag, but I was kind of shocked and really pleased to see that this 2020 Ferrari 488 Pista has almost 18,000 miles on it. It's had two owners. Not sure if they both drove it, but good job whoever did.
The roof is glass, so mostly not wrapped, but just wrapped the A and C pillars, which Ferrari has done on this model but not often. I did black out the back, which I hav not ever seen done yet, but I really like it. Need to cover the areas over the lights as shown below, which were not yet done, just mocked up. Added the stripe on the hood. Really feels like my car now.Cool that your are driving your new toy Scott. Did you wrap the roof and the tailgate or did it come that way? The roof design is one of the defining features of the FF (which I love). It seems to get lost now that it's black.
Agreed. There are really no shooting brakes on the market and I adore the body style. From the moment I saw the FF I knew I was in love. There’s nothing else like it. You either love it or hate it.Earlier in the fall my wife went down to visit our daughter who's going to school in LA. They kept texting me pictures of cars and asking what they were. One of them was a Ferrari GTC4Lusso. Identifying it gave me the opportunity to the use the term "shooting brake." Oddly it just doesn't seem to come up that often in casual conversation.
Scott, In case your bored this week, you could trow a couple of bids in on this collection of FF stuff.

Well, actually, there were more Pista's made vs. V12 Lusso's, by far, but for some reason all 4 seat Ferrari's, other than new SUV, are not favored and haven't been for some time. However, I would argue that a Shooting Brake is much more rare and likely will never be made again. Also, purely from a cost standpoint, my Lusso was more valuable when it left the factory, but clearly the Pista is worth MUCH more than any Lusso. But I hear you loud and clear.A Pista is a very special, low production car. A Lusso ain't by a long shot. Good on you for driving it but there are no parallels here between these to F cars.
True that. For sure, 18k miles on a 2020 track car is rare and an achievement. Glad to see others actually enjoying their Ferrari's as so many owners don't drive them much. I drive mine daily; not so much with MY BABY. I truly do enjoy my e9 when I do elect to drive it. The joy of shifting and the sound is great, but there's something about the sound of a V12 with 690 hp. It is really intoxicating.The Lusso, unlike most (if not all) of the other F cars these days, was actually meant to be driven in the real world to places to do things once upon arrival. But even taking that into consideration, I seriously doubt that many of the other ones out there get as much use as Scott has put on his. So, again kudos for actually driving your car.
The Pista, as its name states, is track focused. Not so good for getting to St. Moritz in the winter with your skis, or Sun Valley for that matter. So yes, 18k miles on the Pista is probably a bit more of an "accomplishment" than where Scott is right now, but give him a few more ski seasons...
A lot of hard work tooThat is a shitlo@d of vests!
