A little history, I've been a car fanatic for as long as I can remember. My first Ferrari that I truly found myself lusting after is the F40 and Testarossa. Fast forward to today, I knew I wanted a Scuderia for quite some time now. I passed up a chance to get the new 458 for the Scuderia. I was planning to get one this fall but after going on a 16M/Scuderia/CS drive recently and driving both the Scuderia and 16M that was all it took for me to decide that I wanted one right away. So, that following morning with Kuzi and h20skier's help, I searched all over for the perfect Scuderia. I found a couple but quickly narrowed it down to the ONE sitting at Ferrari of Fort Lauderdale. After a few quick negotiations, the car was MINE! I had to wait a while for a shipper because they were all over in Arizona for the Barrett Jackson auction. After what seemed like a long wait, we finally found a shipper. The white haired/bearded fellow named Alan whom I'm sure you saw in the earlier thread about the new "team" scuddy. Sorry, I wanted to throw in a little bit of fun for everyone...I had to throw folks off a few times. I think it's funny that almost everyone assumed it was Kuzi's! Well, needless to say it's MINE!

I also wanted to give a huge props to Alan Wood of Wizard Motorsports. He did a great job delivering my Scuderia in one piece in a timely manner coming all the way from the other side of the country. He's as big a motorhead as they come! Shortly before he left, he asked if was planning to DRIVE mine, not park it in the garage like most folks with a wink. If anyone is looking for a shipper, I highly recommend Alan!

I wanted to also thank Andrew aka Daylight, William (blue Scuderia) and my dad for coming out to share in the delivery experience with me today. Also, the entire team at Ferrari of Fort Lauderdale especially Benn Correale and Ferrari of Seattle for being there for me in ensuring that everything went smoothly.

Without further ado, the pictures! Starting with when I first saw Alan pull up in his massive transport

Congrats buddy! Finally! Can't wait to see it in person. I love how you had everyone convinced it wasn't yours. Good work haha

 

Well done!

 

Ha! I knew it! Congrats buddy! Can't wait to check out the new ride in a few weeks!

I'm so happy for you, bro!

What's going to happen to the Turbo?

 

You Scoundrel. You told me you weren't buying it

 

I knew it wasn't Kuzi's. Big congrats Jay! I thought it may have been yours so I was keeping a close eye on your facebook and flickr account. Surprized you kept it quiet this long. Congrats again.

 

Jason is giving me the Turbo since I'm such a nice russian and all..........
