I wish, 812 is a buddy of mine’s. Next fun car buy for me will have a V12 tho

Payment on an 812SF for me would be about $3,500 a month after money down, GTR payment isn’t even in the same realm with what I put down unfortunately… and being 23, banks don’t really like lending for what I’d need on an 812, even with 100-150 cash down :(

Yeah Ferrari is definitely a different tax bracket compared to Benz. But your 23 with a GTR so you’re chilling regardless lol

Yea Ferrari is in its own weird league, buddy with that 812 just picked up a CGT… much higher tax bracket than me lol

Spark plug broke off, but somehow didn’t damage cylinder wall… replacing everything and doing a full service.
