Do you know how many ****ing mustangs you could have bought instead?!?!?!
Damn, that's so badass. I hope to be able to own a Ferrari before I turn 40. Got 11 years
There's really only one way to get rid of the old one.

Just in case anyone doesn't know where the above shirt came from.

Don't get married. Don't have kids. Or my guess is you will need to own your own business to make the money needed.
CONGRATS Agracer. You have made good choices in life.
Dont have kids but get married to someone else with a six figure income. Make smart investments. No need to own your own business though.

Like buy a 308 10+ years ago when they were at the bottom of the depreciation curve, then wait for it to go up.
The new one looks almost huge compared to the old. Was the old one just that small, or is this more representative of how much all cars have grown over the last 30 years?

beautiful ride!

Really happy with the color. I decided the new one would be "not red" since I did that already. My wife actually was a little miff'd with me b/c I was not getting red "You've told me for 25-years Ferrari's are RED!!!". I didn't like yellow on the 360 and black was out. I saw a Grigio Allow 355 that I really liked the look of so I decided to look for that color and found this one by chance. Worked a deal over the phone, had it inspected, flew to CA to test drive, wired the money and it was delivered ~ a month ago. My wife got home from work after it was delivered, walked in the garage, stared at if for a few minutes and said "WOW, that looks awesome"....Everyone who's seen it like the color and I think it look fantastic on the car.
I actually wanted a 355, but after talking to several owners they all agreed that the 355 is an incredible car, but be ready to write lots of checks to keep it running. Several 360 owners I've talked with said it was one of the most reliable cars they've ever owned (I just jinxed myself right there didn't I!)
The old one sold last week so it's going away. It was a great adventure, lots of bruised knuckles, good times with my youngest under the car with me*, but it was time to move on. I've done a lot of work to it but at 39 yrs old, the work is never done. The new one has good maintenance records and the inspection revealed only a few small items that I've already taken care of.
* Youngest asked me once when he was about 5 "what would happen if you and mom died?"...after a 5m explanation of how things would be and who he would live with in solemn dad serious tones...he immediately follows up with "But what happens to the Ferrari?"....
Cracks in the driveway. WNB

Holy crap, I want one.
I have one. It is a mixed bag of reactions when I wear it.

That paint and interior job you did could not have been cheap.

Have a buddy that had that color with tan interior and paddle shift. Fun car that he ended up trading it off for a 430 Scuderia.

I did get to drive a 458 last year...that F1 transmission makes the 360 like a toy. I did drive a 360 with a paddle shift and was not impressed. Glad I found and got a manual.
Congrats, agracer.
So...it's blue...or silver?
