Up for sale is my F430. I've owned the car for 3 years and have maintained it with open check book, just like its previous owner who is my friend. I've known this car since almost brand new. The car features a beautiful Grigio Titano exterior and a black interior. It has all the features you'd expect from an F430, including the F-1 shifter, power steering, brakes, seats and mirrors.

The car was never raced or 0-60'd which is important as it is usually the case with younger drivers and causes real damage in the long run. This car was always driven the proper way, which includes setting the tranny to neutral waiting for a green light or in traffic.

Most recent services done on the car are:

In Oct of 2012 the car got minor service including changing the front brakes and rotors.

In Jan of 2013 the car got its last major service, including a brand new clutch. (over $10K)

All service is documented and was performed at Ferrari of Ft. Lauderdale.

The stereo in the car was upgraded to include Navigation and Bluetooth (sliding monitor with touch screen), The work was performed by a professional shop recommended by the Ferrari dealer and all cable work was done while keeping the original plugs in the event you want to go back to the Ferrari stereo which btw is included with the car. Also included are the original Ferrari toolbox and the Ferrari electric air pump as well as two (2) covers: the original red Ferrari cover and an additional custom cover made of thicker material that I put over the red cover to prevent door dings, etc.

There is a minor blemish to the carfax, on 05/20/2012 my neighbor didn't see my car getting out the garage and backed into me. The damage was extremely minor as it was at parking lot speed. The rear bumper of his SUV hit my driver side fender and caused a 5" ding in the fender and scratched the front left light. The repair was done by Executive Autobody and all parts were replaced (not repaired) by original Ferrari parts: left front fender and front light. Then the fender was painted and blend was performed on the hood and bumper. That's all there was to it and none of the chassis, wheel or anything beyond the skin was harmed or touch in this accident, so technically this car is accident free with a tiny blemish on car fax. All information is available to the buyer.

Current condition of the car is that it's missing the right tow hook cover on the front bumper (its a small 2x2 cap) that someone had stolen while parked, it has a bubble on the right front tire which needs to be replaced and there is a hairline crack on the inner front bumper air intake (the black area). I spoke to Executive Autobody and they told me that they can do the repair for approx. $500, the front tire is about $380 so consider that the car needs $880 to be perfectly mint.

This is an excellent car and runs and drives 100%. I am selling it to the highest and best. If you want to get more pictures or the carfax please contact me.

This car fully serviced and ready for its new owner. The car is located in FL and can be seen anytime.

Apple CarPlay drawing early safety concerns [w/video]

Sun, 09 Mar 2014

Apple's CarPlay infotainment system hasn't made it into a single vehicle yet, and it's already drawing criticism for distracting drivers among safety advocates. The new tech unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show pairs users' iPhones with the car's dashboard display to make calls, dictate messages and listen to music. Some automakers, like Volvo, also let users interact with the HVAC system from the screen.
"The idea that people want to be on their phones, and therefore let's give them a way to do that -- that's not putting safety first, that's putting convenience and the desire to be in touch first," said Bruce Hamilton, manager of research and communications at the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, to CNN Money.
Distracted driving is a huge concern on modern roads with more vehicles allowing drivers to use their smartphones through Bluetooth and infotainment systems. A Texas A&M study found that drivers' reaction time doubled while dictating text messages, according to CNN Money. The new tech is certainly not making drivers pay more attention.

2016 Singapore Grand Prix Race Recap | Setting the stage for the final rounds

Mon, Sep 19 2016

The Singapore Grand Prix always features a safety car. This year the nation-state got caution out of the way early: seconds after the lights went out, Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz collided with Force India's Nico Hulkenberg, sending Hulk into the wall minus a wheel and some bodywork. The safety car led the field for three laps, then ducked into the pits so abruptly that a track marshal was still retrieving debris as race leader Nico Rosberg hit the throttle down the front straight. Rosberg avoided the pedestrian on his way to a two-second lead over Daniel Ricciardo in the Red Bull, Lewis Hamilton in the second Mercedes-AMG Petronas, and Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen. On Lap 8 of the 61-lap race Mercedes engineers warned Rosberg and Hamilton about brake management. Rosberg had no trouble until the waning laps of the race, his teammate inadvertently the cause. Raikkonen got ahead of Hamilton on Lap 33 while Hamilton nursed his car. Trying to get Hamilton back in front of the Ferrari, Mercedes pitted Hamilton on Lap 46 and also ordered him to turn his engine up. Ferrari debated for a lap about whether to bring Raikkonen in, finally issuing a last-second order to pit. The Finn emerged behind Hamilton, but executing the trick to get Hamilton back into third gave Ricciardo breathing room in second place. Red Bull brought Ricciardo in on Lap 48 for a set of super soft Pirellis. Returning to the track 25 seconds behind Rosberg, Ricciardo cut from one to four seconds out of that gap on every lap. By Lap 59 the Aussie was little more than a second behind the German. Had the race gone three more laps, Ricciardo might have pulled off the upset. This time Rosberg stayed in front to win his third race in a row and his first victory in Singapore, all in his 200th grand prix. Ricciardo and Hamilton completed the podium; Raikkonen claimed fourth. Sebastian Vettel wrangled an incredible fifth place after starting last; the German set the worst time on the grid when his suspension broke in Q1. Max Verstappen, having lost places at the start due to wheelspin again, recovered for sixth. Fernando Alonso made the most of his McLaren with seventh, ahead of Sergio Perez in the lone remaining Force India, a resurgent Daniil Kvyat in the Toro Rosso, and Kevin Magnussen scoring Renault's second points finish of the season. Hamilton has not had a good time of it since the end of the summer break – engine troubles in Belgium, a botched start in Italy, and zero rhythm in Singapore.

Ferrari extends Kimi Raikkonen's contract for 2016

Wed, Aug 19 2015

Veteran Formula One driver Kimi Raikkonen's second stint with Ferrari will continue in 2016, and the team announced Wednesday it's extending the Finn's contract for another season. Financial terms were not disclosed. The 35-year-old is fifth in the driver's standings this year with 76 points heading into this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix. Nicknamed the "Ice Man," Raikkonen won the 2007 World Championship with Ferrari. He left the Scuderia in 2009 and dabbled in World Rally Championship and NASCAR competition, before returning to F1 in 2012 with Lotus. He's been back with Ferrari since the 2014 season. "We believe that extending Kimi's contract into the next season will provide further stability to the team," team principal Maurizio Arrivabene said in statement. "This has been our guideline, also considering the very good relationship between Kimi and Seb [Sebastian Vettel]. On our side, this shows our great confidence in him, and I expect this confidence to be well-rewarded." Raikkonen has teamed with Vettel (who's third in driver's points) to key the Scuderia's bounce-back season. Ferrari, the sport's oldest and most successful team, is second in the constructor's standings this year with 236 points, trailing Mercedes (383). "For me, to be able to stay another year at Ferrari means that the dream goes on," Raikkonen said in a statement. "The Scuderia is my family, as I always said, it's here I want to end my career. I am more committed than ever and I want to say thank you to the people who gave me this chance." The announcement comes as Ferrari prepares for its historic 900th grand prix. It's won 16 races in Belgium, including 12 victories as Spa-Francorchamps. The team's most recent win there was in 2009 – by Raikkonen. Related Video:
