Kids, wife, and the cats are all asleep. I decide "oh this is a great video to watch" and I cast it to our living room TV with surround sound... Right out of the gate I blast the house with the F12 roar. Quickly after my youngest and the cats come running out. Great video and no regrets 😂😂😂

[@AutoVlogOfficial]

Francisco Estrada haha! 🙏

[@joshhogan409]

Lmaoooo

[@streetlegends2011]

😂🤣😅 on surround sound it's awesome, I want one

[@benalistarfx]

🤣🤣🤣

[@silverblue9286]

It's obvious you've advanced in vlogging. Speaking, editing, views, etc. You're one of the best. Keep it up. I thoroughly enjoyed the complete video.

[@darylwizzard]

He's very entertaining. Every video, even the old ones I allready seen are good. That's the test, I hate watching anything I allready seen before, but I like watching even the old videos. Nice car, thanks for showing what's it's actually like to own a Ferrari.

[@mjz187]

You should have been here when he was newer he grown so much in quality

[@Mag1c4lyfe]

Your next mod should be stainless steel screws in the engine bay on those carbon fiber covers

[@justincro7146]

AcesWILD93 agreed

[@syedhassaanmujtababokhari6199]

Or they could be carbon fiber clips

[@jasonrocker2582]

That’s is called chrome silver not stainless steel 😂.

[@TheChrizzywow]

Jason Rocker apparently you didnt watch the video. He’s right with stainless steel

[@ChuckBeefOG]

Titanium screws. Weight reduction bro.

[@forrest2457]

This is beautiful, I love the rims, the rear spoiler looks really nice, you can’t have too much carbon fiber. I would love to own one of these. It really sounds like a F1 racer, like how it’s supposed to sound

[@ENO371]

I work at Sewickley Porsche and the other day I heard you ripping across the Ohio River Bridge from a mile away in that thing! Beautiful spec, cheers!

[@milan1969]

Love the Scotty moment and trunk exit.

[@mason_hoblit9698]

I can’t believe that it’s been 8 months since you got the f12. I’ve been subscribed since you got the f150 (yes since when you first leased it). Mike and I have pretty much the same taste in cars. My favorite supercar is the f12 and I was so stoked when you got one. And I now have a 2018 f150 with the 5.0 in it and a loud ass exhaust :) I am 18 now so I must have been very young when I first subscribed. Love the work you do mike. Keep it up!!!

[@stevenyia2778]

Or deep in debt lol

[@mason_hoblit9698]

eagleeye128 definitely not. Try #workforit

[@mason_hoblit9698]

steven yia I put a 15k down payment down

[@mason_hoblit9698]

eagleeye128 my payment is $400 a month. That’s not that much.

[@JIMvc2]

@@mason_hoblit9698 $400 may not sound much for you but that must be the minimum payment. If you want to pay it faster, pay more per month. Then you'll be done paying it off sooner.

[@danb9422]

Don’t sell it, you will regret it every day thereafter. I sold my FF which is also a V12 and nothing has come close since

[@elchucapablas]

Dan B maybe a W12 engine will be close

[@petescarport]

@@elchucapablas not necessarily. I had a phaeton w12 and it was a totally different experience. I've never driven a Ferrari f12 but I'm sure it's a life experience

[@TAG247]

Probs just get another F12 or Lusso then

[@nurullahsavur4786]

Your intros are getting better Mike, keep up the good work🤙🔥

[@q_steelgrayM3]

Awesome review. I love the overall design and body language on the F12. You've done a great job with tasteful modifications. The most fulfilling must be the FI Exhaust. Absolutely epic sound!

[@The19tommy85]

Your F12 looks Perfect🥰😍 i'm in Love, i like your Videos very much! Thumbs up 👍🏼

[@jasonhumphries8463]

Seen the Rari with the red guts, heard the "300" theme music, powerful v12 revs....subbed in under 3 seconds. 💯🏆 🏆🏆💯

[@doclull1989]

That sound never gets old!!

[@andrewclarke6116]

I enjoyed your review. Not many of the previous reviews I've seen on this car were by owners Looking forward to more of your content in 2020.

[@williamwebb9033]

AWESOME! The mods you have done accent your Ferrari Perfectly! 🔥🔥🔥

[@silverafamilyadventures9340]

Excellent review my friend. Happy New Year and much love to you and your family!!!

[@donnanhuggler8451]

Great job, as usual. I appreciate vicariously experiencing the F12! Sounds great, looks great and- is great! Continue being careful!

[@PhotoDaveJax]

Great to see you having so much fun. It does sound great too! Stay safe.

[@lawn2learn]

Welcome back. When you review we all enjoy that content. It’s what has me subbed. Man what a sweet ride. ;)

[@aaronm2742]

Yes! I liked the reviews he doesn't do them all that often now...

[@jeremybrown2043]

Jesus Christ the sound of that exhaust is beyond amazing! I must have rewound the video 6 different times in one clip just to hear it again and again! Cars n Coffee can't get here again soon enough!

[@TheRegulator]

There's nothing like a proper exhaust in an exotic. I've been blessed to be able to drive my dream car a few times; a Nissan GT-R 700 Tuned by Hennessy. The exhaust just makes me melt every time. Thanks for sharing this video! Love your child-like joy talking about this f12!

[@JohnJohnson-ze1gg]

Heh hemm...really? Nissan? Exotic car? 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Drew858pb]

That exhaust is off the charts my god, legitimately an F1 sound on the road, amazing.

[@randybryant9936]

Happy New Year looking forward to another awesome year. Love the F12

[@patrickhinks4552]

Really love the wheel setup. Your spot on- RESPECT THE POWER:)

[@PaulGibbons13]

Hi Mike great review and a great sounding car Happy New Year 😀👍

[@Affalterbach1967]

Watching the water bottle at 23:07 tells me how smooth the shifts are.

[@mrajal8490]

I am sure that is the main buying decision factor…😂

[@Affalterbach1967]

Got alert that somebody just responded to my four year old comment, and am now re-listening on quality headphones. Amazing!

[@PeteEbenezerrNewman]

Nothing like a V12 with straight pipes, just love the sound. Happy New Year to you and the family.

[@iantodd4918]

Phenomenal content keep up the amazing content and the editing is soooo much better and very professional to boot

[@johnbirkholz3216]

At one point you mentioned that you never would get tired driving it. I put to you because I can not drive it I never get tired of listening to it especially when you do a high rpm shift. Thank you for spending time with us. Gods Blessings to you and your family.

[@brianiswrong]

I got to hand it to you Mike. When you got her I was unsure how the mods would go,BUT dang you got the noise/ looks/stance spot on. And Ferrari did a wicked job of the interior.

[@platinumman21]

The car sounds EPIC!! Love the fly bys!

[@johncarpenter1896]

By looking at it right now, compared to the time that you got it, I can tell u that your car look better today with the mods you put on it !

[@venom5809]

That's a beautiful looking and sounding car, I don't know if you will ever find anything better.

[@amibookovza3118]

Loved the video Car is amazing and the sound is definitely f1 level Thanks for the tour

[@K-Dawg2107]

Great video, Mike!

[@tomdowd8416]

Your F12 videos make me appreciate my car even more. I am considering the exhaust changeout.

[@lapchoine6600]

Love this informative vlog on your sick F12. Definitely would love to own one one day.

[@DwainDwight]

this & the 812 are two finest cars I have encountered - that V12 is pure perfection. unbeatable. great review sir.

[@Ricamundo]

The sound never gets old, but neither does your reaction to that delicious howl.:)

[@DrummerBoii1411]

There will never be a day where a V12 engine will ever be disliked. It is a damn thing of beauty. Race car for the road. 😍

[@emilioivsuarez4916]

I am a purist and would love a Red F12, but your white on red is so beautiful and complimented completely with your broken sized rims! Of course the sound is so so breathe taking! Bravo!

[@froggfather]

What a great review! I've never owned or driven a Ferrari but it is my perfect dream that I hope to make into a reality some day! I'm fascinated with Ferraris and I absolutely love the F12 and the 812 Super fast and while Im here dreaming...I gotta thank you for what you do! You really made me feel the pride and excitement of owning/driving such a machine like this beast!! There's not many super car owners that will do a complete pros/cons on their super cars but you really lay it all out there for us! In my opinion....You set up your F12 perfectly in every which way from the interior/exterior color scheme all the way to all of the aftermarket upgrades! Its a winner and damn near perfection in my book! Thank you foe really taking the time to share your expertise and great experiences with us! I love the way you leave no stone unturned by giving up all of your secrets down to the camera models and software that you use to make your great reviews! Your truly a great Vloger and I'm grateful to be able to listen, watch and learn! Keep up the great work! Thank You

[@DeShakeel]

*Mike: Panini firena* *Everyone: Pininfarina* *Mike: Paninifirena* 😂😂😂

[@wahabalmesfer3438]

Shakeel I was just saying he’s about to get roasted for that 😂

[@Harrypm3]

Can somebody get Mr. Paninifirena on the phone haha

[@gregtoth4497]

Owned an AMG, owns an M5, owns a F12. Can't say "Pinin Farina." Go back to your escort. Pssssh.

[@huldenjonathan]

Also, is it called Eye-talian car or E-talian car?

[@giacomoborruso4599]

Panini means sandwiches

[@semajyo9628]

Your upgrades look so much better compared to when you first got it. Well done.

[@slowmotionmne]

Great review maaan! Love it. Love your channel in general. Been a sub since the first AMG :)

[@yamahasnowmoblielove]

Love the sounds of it.

[@damoncolbert6697]

Good video, and good pov from the cockpit. The F12 sounds great! It looks nice as well, even though it would look better in Black. From one Ferrari lover to another, keep stuntin'.

[@ScooterATVSales]

Execllent review. Appreciate the honesty with the details,

[@johanbackman8370]

Tjena Mike vilken underbar bil och vilket ljud helt fantastiskt, ha det gott.

[@realmen69]

You’re amazing, thank you for sharing your experience!!

[@edysinsimon8646]

Those wheels! Those "shoes" really make the car stand out!

[@nickkelbley4407]

I dont know why more people don't watch you.. you're my fave automotive KZbin vlog by far.

[@gastonpetruccelli3598]

Nice videos man! I just found the channel. Regards from Argentina!

[@JR-do5cc]

Hearing that exhaust note brought a smile to my face and I wanted to say thank you friend :) 👌

[@andrewmiller120]

Awesome video Mike!

[@HellcatDreaminJosh]

AutoVlog Great Ownership Review I'm glad you've had a Great Months with your F12 Berlinetta and Happy Belated New year to you your family and all of your

[@studio-gh]

Very nice review, I like your genuine pleasure to ride such a beauty, love the cinematic, you enriched your video so much, a pity your color balance was off a bit at certain time, the best to you and your family Mike!

[@mrcuboid]

Mike: This is the best sounding car ever Lexus: Hold my LFA

[@Pedro-qm1of]

also lexus will be more reliable

[@tenzinsmith7991]

Too bad it’s like 3-4 times as expensive now.

[@jacobf4948]

Ferrari v12 >>>> Lexus v10

[@TOMMYBIGTIME]

Always enjoy your videos Mike

[@JabbaTheHutWasHere]

Your laugh when you open up the valves...lol. Thats the spirit ..love it!

[@SlowSpeeds]

Great job on this video!

[@chrise2329]

I love this car, interior and exterior are a surprisingly nice combo. The exhaust is just mega.

[@germanz2936]

Title should be "Ferrari f12 review"

[@GREATNESS275]

Love the look of the F12, wheels & tires look great,...Interior,the red racing seats, the layout/design of the instrument panel & of coarse my favorite interior item on this beautiful vehicle,...that incredible carbon fiber steering wheel with all the switches & buttons, amazing!...And finally the carbon fiber trim pieces. But I would have prefered that you NOT lowered her IMO!

[@CompletekTraining]

I think you stepped up your dialogue skills. The pauses and punctuation- love it! Kept me to the end. f12ftd seems to catch my eye the best. Torn between that and the Novitech NLargo 812 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Snatchez69]

You’re mods are tastefully done and the car looks amazing! I’m disappointed that fellow Canadian DDE has bought an F12 cause I love that car and I know they will wreck it. Doing research on the F12 lead me to JWW and then Autovlog.

[@davidratcliffjr1240]

Great video!

[@junglejim5678]

Absolutely amazing car! Great video!!

[@murphydogprod]

I am with you on the tunnels. Although I have a sport motorcylcle and know that scream. Love the video! Hell yeah!

[@iancole85]

Starting to look at F12s, very helpful. I don’t the the 812 is any better looking. Perfect mods dude

[@mikelevesque9159]

Mike The F 12 looks amazing flying in the air I saw Jeremy do it on top gear seems so casual lol 😂

[@SCUUUUD]

Thanks for the review. After 4 years I’m selling my Scud and aiming for a Grigio or Rosso F12. Such a beautiful car

[@jaseiv4]

Perfect car review ... Badass car ... Thumbs up!

[@GREATNESS275]

And yes Mike as much as I liked your 2 C63S's,...This Ferrari F12 and that awesome sounding exhaust really set her apart from anything I've ever heard! And yes I agree with you on her sounding exactly like a Formula one/Indy car, just amazing!

[@ramonpunsalang3397]

I think you've squeezed all the content you're gonna get from the F12. Does it have any new tricks to reveal? . Just like you had to upgrade from the AMG, the time is approaching for you to move on to the next level.

[@ramonpunsalang3397]

@Oskar Dirlewanger Not if he finds something interesting to take its place. It's a great car undoubtedly but it's growing old to me very quickly.

[@habsfreak4386]

Same old stuff.

[@James.1881]

@@camaro675 Or hits a deer in it.

[@BeDevil79]

Love the F12, my favourite Ferrari - your mighty-white trainers make the paint look discoloured though! 👍😂

[@carlos64030]

Easily the sexiest F12 I've ever seen, and that exhaust is just freakin' BONKERS!!!

[@futball24]

TDF is better

[@RKAMOTE]

Love your F12! 🤙

[@georgiosdedes]

Best video ever Mike. The car is just perfect as it is. Keep it and never let go of it. And do change the screws in the engine bay covers with ss screws. Should rather be an easy fix.

[@MrPahze]

Very Nice video ! Great content! :P

[@noclue8845]

Great vid. Love the car.

[@justanotherghost4589]

I got the F12 on a racing game, it's great even in there lmao, this was really fun to watch, nothing better than a great sounding and practical Ferrari too, and it looks beautiful, I especially love the spoiler. It's even more cool knowing this thing is in my home state.

[@motheolebelo]

What an awesome review video and an epic car to put a smile on anyone's face everyday for LIFE.

[@ArizonaHotSauce]

Thanks Mike for the "Let her rip!!" It felt like that was for me.

[@Praise_God369]

Beautifull spec man this is gonna be a future classic

[@dlang1009]

Beautiful Ferrari one of my favorites. How about some time runs? 0 to 60, 60 to 130 qtr mile. New dyno runs. Keep up great videos.

[@camondavids4084]

Same spec I want to purchase soon, beautiful car amigo!

[@zioo3117]

What good is honesty if it is not really all that positive. I really like evolution of the 512, because my cousin has three cars within the genus. He loved the 12 cylinder engine and the sound and had to have Tubi's put on each of them. If you put in an upgrade on screws, does it devalue the car? Demonstrated massive cargo space. That isn't available on all the V-8's and those types of super cars. The valve is what makes it possible to have straight pipes; very cool. Great to learn about the paint correction you are getting. You might want to wrap the car -- all of it. And you might want to get some ceramic treatment. That axle lift is awesome. Wow! You have to reboot the vent. The passenger information is really top drawer. You will have to make a list to interpret the mph and the rev count. What is it about tunnels and underpasses along with the ownership of super cars that makes people believe or "feel" that noise that is the music of super car engines is beautiful. Did you say Zero to 60 in 3.1 seconds? Now we know why the C8 is so hot. A supercar's value is how good it is, not how much it costs. The standard C8 does zero to 60 in 3.0 seconds and it goes out the door new for $63,000 out the door. Yes, it is not a Ferrari, but at the rate Corvette is putting together technology, plus a bit of American aftermarket accessories for performance will put the Vette at about 2.6 seconds. Of course it won't be long before the engines will also be flat-plane crank. I can tell that you like the front engine 12's. A very nice presentation of your car. Also, I like the fact that not too many gear heads have a 512 Ferrari. Good job.

[@Pandara-up5lw]

U seem like a genuine guy despite the money that seems in short supply on KZbin you made a new fan today

[@simonspencer7017]

Mike, just a bit of advice. Blurring the speedometer is a waste of time on roads with telegraph poles. They are set at equal distances x time taken to pass them gives an accurate record of the speed you are doing. Find roads with no lightning or telephone poles. Take care, love your vlogs.

[@vorsprungdurchtech]

That Ferrari sounds AWESOME!!! Sounds like an F1 car going through a track. I love it!!

[@dieselpowerv8557]

Mike ive been watching your videos since the car reviews your channel is the best that F12 is a beast love the wheels all of my car Friends their like no there is other better channels but I tell them but my favorite channel is autovlog.
