Proof that people tire of things is in the Divorce stats, 50%. Also look at the used car lots. At one time each one of these cars was the "prettiest car I have ever seen". |

That valet must have done his training here in Chicago! |

I like driving my 308 each day and I always enjoy it for work, store, beer runs, whatever. It's not worth enough for me to worry about and that helps. I was in Long Beach in February and witnessed a valet driver scraping the rear wheel of a 456 on a curb outside a restuarant. I would have a hard time leaving a 100K+ car with a valet or in a lot. Emotional attachment is a factor as well. I worry more about my new 328 GTB than I did about my 348 when I had it even though it's worth more. Perhaps I need therapy.

I know I could drive my 550 everyday with no problems but I agree with some of the posts that after a while it's not as special. I drive it to work about twice a week and it keeps me looking forward to it. |

I have to admit driving an exotic car everyday, soon it won't feel as special like the first day you got it. I'm already bored of my cars, can you believe it? I need help with my car addicting problems, sorry.... you got to use each type of cars properly. I feel like I'm old minded sometimes but I realize reality real quick sometimes..... |

I drove mine to school everyday, it was the hottest. At college the only place I drive is to go biking. No use for the Ferrari here really, I wish though. Driving everyday doesn't get boring if you make a point to go around turns sideways, etc on occasion. |

Interesting point this.Sounds like heaven doesn't it- driving a Ferrari every day? I know other people do it, but when I started using mine regularly, the experience became gradually less special, to the point where I was tossing my case in it and driving to work without much thought. Driving somewhere in a Ferrari makes even the simplest things special, and I value this enough to want to keep it that way.
Suppose what I'm saying is that even if you could doesn't mean you would. |

The best Ferrari daily driver is either the one you currently own or the one you are about to buy ! |

Having owned a 355 and driven a 550, sorry I think a 550 is hard to beat. Comfortable, easy to get in and out of, and stealth mode for cop friendly commute! Chris |

The 355. Reliable, easy to drive, doesn't overheat in traffic, has power steering, good climate control. Above all it is FAST.

I would say any 95 F-car and up. Easier to drive in traffic and no as much transmission issues of the past |

If you need to haul people, 456 is the only choice. The new Maserati Coupe (Wow, what a car!)is more spacious and have better amenities but it's not a Ferrari. My 360 can be driven daily. It's used about 4 times a week (daily last week). I think almost all Ferraris can be driven daily. It's really up to the owners. |

328 from what Ive learned here and what my Fcar owining friends/mechanics have to say. Weak AC being the biggest downer for that model. They seem to hold value very well as a plus. |
