    I have finally taken posession of my first Ferrari!!! I got a '99 F355 F1 Spider Red/Tan, with 14,800 miles. The guy that had it before me added a ton of extra's: Challenge grill and carbon fiber paddle shifters, door handles, door sills and belts and clutch were new. I have dreamt of owning a Ferrari since I was a kid with the Farah Fawcett poster up next to a Red 308. I got it in Florida at Napels Motorsports. Rob, Todd, Steve and Tony were all great guys to deal with and I would highly recommend them.

    I had the car delivered a few days ago but I couldn't get it registered and take it out much until last night. I was in heaven racing through the gears with the paddle shifters. The gawkers that would immediately floor their cars after I passed them were a hoot. There may be faster cars out there that are more durable with nicer interiors but I can't imagine anything on the road that can make you feel like you do in a Ferrari. I'll post more pics soon!

    OK, now where's the Farah Fawcett poster? My T-shirt is long gone. :(

    Seriously, though, congrats. There's Ferrari and there's everything else. Many happy miles.
