Really appreciate that link man! I'm purchasing it from a friend and he's showed me all of the Carfax/history of him having the car serviced at his local Lexus dealer. Also, he's a car guy and (just as something cool) the sales manager at Ferrari of Central Florida so I know the car's been maintained. However, just to be safe I'd definitely want it checked out.
As for my current car, it was overheating because the radiator hose was leaking badly so I got Carrol Autowerks (BMW specialist) to replace it... however, Steve Carrol aka the man responsible for 'fixing' my radiator failed to check the thermostat as well (any mechanic or gear head will know how big of a mistake that is) and so when I got my 'fixed' car back, it overheated even worse because my thermostat had failed to let me know. In the end, I had a cracked head and pistons 3 and 4 were misfiring leading to $5600 for a used engine with a warranty....
Needless to say I was furious but I couldn't prove he had been responsible and it's been too long since then to ever bring anything about it up again.

so maybe after meeting you, I could get you a ride in it as well. Usually when they take a car out for some test rides, they're a lot more lenient on giving someone a ride and since you could be there right in time, it should work out :thumb up: What day/time do you guys meet? Is it once a month?

Haha small world! I'll send you a message on the date I plan on traveling down to pick up the car. I've been promised a ride in a Ferrari FF as a part of the deal so maybe after meeting you, I could get you a ride in it as well. Usually when they take a car out for some test rides, they're a lot more lenient on giving someone a ride and since you could be there right in time, it should work out :thumb up:

Your right man, small world. I'd take a ride in a Ferrari any day! Just let me know when ever your out this way
. We meet every 2nd Wednesdays, over by the best college in the world UCF 
at a place called Cigarz. The next one is going to be the 1st wed in April which I believe is the 4th, you should come out.
