    Well, I hope to purchase a ferrari someday. Right now I must begin working on my grad degree, but I should be done in about two years with that. At that point, I am sure that my income level will be sufficient to purchase my dream machine.

    I will keep lurking around and drooling over my keyboard as long as you all continue to post pics of those race-bred beauties. On another note, I believe I read somewhere that Ferrari of Atlanta was holding an open house on Saturday, December 2nd. Is that correct?

    Welcome future member of the brotherhood!
    I'd rather live with my parents than not have a Ferrari! (Thank God I haven't had to make that sacrifice)

    Great point but where are you with that motor overhaul/upgrade?

    Welcome CPA Ric. Buy real estate before buying a Ferrari!

    Haha, when I'm through college, I'm gonna live in a shack and buy a Ferrari. (But have an extensive garage)

    Yes FOA had an open house today. I had my 355 out there to see the new 599's. Good collection of people out there.

    Thanks for the welcome. I will be active as possible, considering I do not own a Ferrari. It will be helpful to keep up with all of the various discussions concerning maintenance so that I can save a little on that cost component. Plus, I love turning wrenches on cars. The 348 is my favorite car. I love the side strakes. A red hardtop with some aftermarket black wheels would be real nice. Since the prices are coming down a little, I am probably only two years out from making a purchase. I can hardly wait.

    Welcome! I can tell you that the Ferrari is a very well built and (fairly) luxe ride compared to some of the other cars I have tested (Panoz, Ginetta).
