Damn, I'm usually not fond of anyone touching a Ferrari, but I must say it does look pretty bad ass with those subtle ground effects and the spoiler.

360's sound very very nice. I was driving next to one in Miami traffic, and it was just this deep rumble, damn it was fine.

355 is an OK car, I'm curious why you think it would be the worst possible purchase in this area..? Lack of dealer support?

p.s. I can't help being a smart-ass!

several reasons, winters around her blow typically, in this kinda town i can almost gaurantee the cops would fuck w/ a younger guy driving around a ferrari, the mentality of many of the rednecks around here would be to key the damn thing, it would draw too much attention in my opinion in general, and then yes the lack of support for quality work to be done on it could certainly be an issue. I rely on mike fox at nissan for anything i can have him do, just not sure how far he could go w/ a ferrari. After thinking it over for a few weeks i decided back then that i'd rather have a couple cars rather than just 1 that i had to sink all my cash into.

so now i have a z that i put roughly $65k into (not including price of purchase) but at 744rwhp & being very unique i think she's great, a 540 that i put roughly 35k into, a damn tahoe that i put over 20k into, and my bike which ran me $7k.s

Il rumore della Ferrari e una cosa bellisima. 3.6 litri di sesso puro con la strada.

My favorite is the 550M. I saw a 360M drop top in Italy last summer, you wanna talk about a sound, i creamed myself when he took off onto the autostrada and shifted to 2nd in the distance, hearing that rumble echo through the air...mechanical poetry.

I have also seen the new 575M in Italy, Fabio Cannavaro, Captain of the Italian National Soccer team, was driving around Naples in it during Christmas break in 2002. The only one I really wanna see really really bad is the Enzo...maybe one day I can own one.
