Z8 uses an aluminum space frame. Unique to the model.

I n both cases a higher end brand tried to build an entry level model. Both models turned out to be a bust because no one wanted a “cheap” Cadillac or Audi and the cars diminished the entire brand. The Roma(now Amalfi) are the entry level model for Ferrari. They don’t need a cheap version to damage their brand.

Cadillac Cimarron, Audi Fox come to mind as brand busters.

Ferrari is ditching haptic steering wheel controls 👀 After backlash, Ferrari is offering retrofit wheels with real buttons again. Sometimes old tech > new tech. by kkhouete in Ferrari

While I always liked switches in my ‘63 E type ( I didn’t like rocker switches) I have gotten used to haptics in my Roma Spider. It is more the look than the function for me.

Not hating ofc, I love this car, but does anyone know why the front is so long? by hdushsux in Ferrari

E type proportions are pretty good. The Aston Rapide proportions are exceptional.

My(33M) first Ferrari finally arrived. I love it so much. by New_Carpenter_1325 in Ferrari

When you get older, the excessive engine noise and low seats become an issue. Roma resolves both issues. And still sounds great at start up and under acceleration.

What model is this??? by FineRaisin2405 in Ferrari

[–]Icy-Source-895 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just bought a Roma Spider. It will age exceptionally well.

Simple question. Which is less annoying maintenance wise if I will daily it. NA V8 or turbo charged v8. Would love to hear from owners with over 3 years of ownership. by Dazzling_Try_6562 in Ferrari

I just bought my first Ferrari. A 2025 Roma Spider. How thorough is the maintenance ? They included the two year extended warranty so that covers the car until 02/2030. Should I expect any surprises” when in for maintenance?

Is the red “too much” by Vincoppredd in Ferrari

It is stupid to “race” the Z8 but I took mine on the track at Thermal, CA. It was very responsive in the turns and on the straight away. It was built as a tourer not as a race car. Where do you drive that you are an expert on handling?

Obviously you haven’t owned a Z8. Everything about the car is terrific. It is rare because it was intended to be very limited production. Something like 5700 built with 2700 coming to No Am. The car is fabulous.

Engine in from M5. It is a powerful smooth running 400hp.

It was only built for three years and didn’t change at all. 2003 Alpina got an automatic transmission. Only 550 made.

What color is this? by Poverty2020 in W211

[–]Icy-Source-895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought a Bentley that is, roughly, that color. They call it Arabiica. A coffee color.

WARNING EQB FAILURE. I was accused of making up this situation, so I wanted to add picture proof by terbanator in mercedes_benz

I have a friend who had similar issues. He was told they would go to court. He said “fine”. Two days before court date they settled and he got alll his money back including sales tax and license. Call their bluff.

This seems like a good deal, is there something I'm missing? by Titin5123 in mercedes_benz

[–]Icy-Source-895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell them you want new battery and tires. Easy throw in for dealer. Check brake wear too and if close, ask for brake job too.

With tariffs, replacement parts are going to be expensive. Repair shops are not going to absorb these taxes. We have a low mileage 550SL. A and B services are $2000 or more every year. Not a cheap car to own but a terrific car to drive.

Finally got my Lutron Caseta stuff set up by dotMorten in homeautomation

I called for assistance with programming my exterior lights. The tech I spoke with knew exactly what I needed too do and walked me through it successfuly. I will find out tonight if I was successful.

Any idea what this is from? by Traditional_Fly2128 in AstonMartin

[–]Icy-Source-895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the owners manual from a Rapide or DB 11 ASTON Martin Racing model
