Yes we are sir!

Your post hit the nail on the head.

I guess that's what being in this line of work will do to you... Hate having to tell your cust it's not worth what they think...

Sounds like the decision is made. I'd only do it if you CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT the 16M - doesn't sound like that's the case.

Here's the other thing. The top up driving environment in the 430 spider body is not great. It's cramped and noisy and feels 'cheap' imho. Fun with the top down, but the older I get, I'm far less likely to put the top down.

Your 599 can be driven anytime in any weather in luxury and quiet refinement whereas the 16M is far more limited.

i see the 599 as something you can go to dinner in... im not sure about the 16M anyway. verts arent for me.

BTW just so we get you on the right path in the future. If Megan Fox comes up to tells you she want's to F you all night say..."SURE". Regarding the 16M over the 599 I think it's obvious.

599...16M is not all that IMO...
If it was a coupe Scude then it would be a tougher choice (although as most said above: it is about whether you want a coupe or a GT)

What happens when Ferrari wins their 17th F1 Championship? 16M what? I'm telling you, the 599 is classy, timeless, etc. The 16M is WAAAAAY too flash for my tastes. I'm sure it sounds/drives/handles great, but what about the 458 Italia? There is always something better. The 599 is going to be one of the better modern Ferraris (just like the Scuderia).

Exactly, it's like 7 Minute Abs workout video. I invented that and was rolling in dough until the unthinkable happened.... 6 minute abs!!! I'm still bitter.

I am still with my 1st opinion
Get the 16M and if you still want a 599 in your life get it later for less
