Can’t share outside of immediately fam bc it’s still “firm confidential,” but I heard I am getting promoted to partner year-end. Always told myself I’ll get a rari if I make it (wife supported it all the time).

All that is to say: i’m about to finalize my configuration/place the order with a dealership for the Portofino M 🇮🇹

I’m calling BS here. They don’t let you buy a new one as your first.

Or maybe they finally jumped the shark when they rolled out the SUV, and are taking down the velvet rope.

Either way congrats.
