    After a few years of looking, researched, saving, etc, I am proudly the newest member of the brotherhood. My '94 348 Spider is on it's way to it's new home in southern California. It should arrive in about a weeks time. I can hardly sleep at night! I still can't believe it's true. She's a beautiful yellow with black interior. Looks brand new without a spot on her. Runs like a dream!! I don't have any pictures of my own...just a few from the seller. But I will probably have hundreds once she's here. Thanks to everyone that helped me with this process. I will probably have quite a few questions after she arrives. Lou

    Thanks so much. The car is coming from North Carolina. And I won't even be home when it gets here. So it will sit lonely in the garage until June 6th. It's killing me!!

    Hey Lou, Congratulations.
    BEAUTIFUL spider!!!!
    I know exactly how you feel. I bought my 348 spider a few weeks back and can finally pick it up on saturday. Ever since I know that I can pick it up time moves soooooo slow. :)
    Congratulations again. Enjoy the spider to the max.

    Congrats, great car, I loved my yellow 348 spider when I had it, such a presence on the street, and what a sound. Congrats!! Feel free to ask questions, lots of owners on this board, including myself (3 time 348 owner).

    Get yourself some 355 rims and that thing will look 20 years newer! Shedding a tear here as I post a pic of Old Yell'r. I miss her dearly. :(

    Not sure how to insert parts from others posts:

    Don't know about VCR or Haus of Pizza....but they both sound fun already.
    I do feel like it's Christmas eve right now. But even better than that. Can't even describe all the feelings.
    Time is moving really slowly now. But my 6 yr old and 2 yr old keep me moving.
    I do like the 355 rims on the 348. Tires at 50% so who knows?
    As far as the price...I'll let you know after I get through with the DMV....but it felt right.
    When I first saw the car I would have sold everything to have it!! I hate cheesy movie lines, but
    it had me at hello.

    Again, I'll sure I'll have many questions for all of you. Hopefully not mechanical ones for awhile!!

    She's a beaut Clark :D very nice indeed, as Husker suggested change your rims for better handling and more aggressive and updated look.




    I knew you were going to miss her :( sorry my friend.

    Living in SoCal, I don't know if I'll ever put the top up! Although I've gotta say, I think the 348/355 actually looks good with the top up. I have an 86 Mondial Cabriolet that looks nice with the top down, but I wouldn't drive it with the top up.
