    Life is short. Don't we all know it.

    So, It may be a perfect time for me to move into a 355 F1 for a little variety. I really enjoyed Dave's and Grant's car and think the paddles could be perfect for more time on track.

    If you have a Berlinetta or gts with an F1 that you may be wanting to part with (especially in blue........) send me a pm or email.

    Let's see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

    It is impossible to own to many 355s.

    One of my friends had a cig boat and everytime we took it out it would be a month or so before we could walk correct again. Not sure why LOL

    +1! Got a 12c six months ago, still completely blows my mind every time I drive it. Seriously Robb, try something different. Getting into the 355 after driving the 12c feels like Mattel's "My First Sports Car" ;)

    One cool thing about McLaren is now you can extend the warranty up to 12 years from the original in-service date. So my 2012 is eligible for warranty coverage through 2024, pretty sweet.

    Congrats on the 12c.

    I think we need to see a photo to reinforce your point!

    Not sure I need a faster car than the 355 but vertical doors carry a premium.

    :D

    How much was the 12 year warranty? That sounds very appealing.

    Beautiful car - almost the exact spec of a local owner...

    My buddy in LA LOVES Mac's but they depreciate like pigs ;)

    They sell it in two year chunks for around $8k. Sounds like a lot but it covers almost everything.

    Thanks! Yes they do depreciate but that's why I let the other guy take the fall. Bought it 4 years old with only 2k miles.

    That's not too bad considering some of our cars cost nearly that much to maintain anyway.

    A friend of mine who owns a dealer turned away a 12C on trade in because it needed a steering rack or something and the quote from McLaren was like 1/5th the cost of the car.

    With the 720S around the corner I bet MP4 prices come down further. To be honest though I think the MP4 is much nicer than the 650S. I like the understated looks. It's a future classic.
