    The presence of this thread is worrisome. Aren't you jinxing yourselves?

    Put 40 mi per day going to work from April to October. Couple of 200mi trips. Used as a daily driver, work, store, city, highway. Put @ 4500 mi this summer. Car has just under 60000 miles. No issues except self inflicted ones by choosing wrong person to do rebuild. See other posts. Biggest issue gas mileage sucks.

    I drove my 95 355 1000 miles to see the stooges a few weeks ago. On the way home, I got caught in the rain for 150 miles. Two issues:

    1. Permanent CEL on bank 2 which used to be occasional
    2. The nicely painted valve covers are now water stained, and cannot get the stains off

    Kiljoy, yes, but that is the reality.

    I finally (after 6 years) took mine out on my favorite run. It covered over 250 miles of twisty mountain roads with ZERO issues.

    We need more happy threads like this otherwise people only hear the negatives and think our cars are overpriced junk. Lol.

    Yeah, but scary that a drive without an "incident" warrants a thread... ;) :)

    Got asked by a mate to do a formal (prom) for his daughter in the 355. Haven't driven or started her since july. Took the cover off 20 mins before she arrived. Started car, backed out, turned on ac in 34 degree heat and drove 2hrs. Car perfect. Absolutely perfect.

    Brother drove 300 miles to Indio, CA today in the yellow F355 Berlinetta. Perfect and purring along like an industrial sewing machine. I took the truck and trailer with our F355 challenge inside. Will have two F355 on track all day Saturday and Sunday. Looking forward to great high speed driving... the way they were intended to be used.

    Not worried about their reliability at all. Looking forward to seeing Grant and the group.
