    Hello. I've been lurking for a while and wanted to thank everyone for the valuable information. My family moved from Las Vegas to Macau, China a couple years ago and now to Miami, FL (hopefully for a while). I am formerly a casino gaming executive transitioning to professional Dad with a couple of pre-schoolers.

    Before moving, I purchased a '95 F355 Berlinetta in iconic Rosso Corsa to meet me here in Miami and it just recently arrived. I'm a lifetime Porsche driver (first car at age 16 was a 911SC in the 80s); sold my '72 911S when we moved to China, kept my Dad's old '87 930, but decided to go in a different direction this time. After driving Ferrari for the very first time last Sunday, I don't know if I can ever go back!! Wow.

    So is that a Fart Car then? :)

    Put a football helmet facemask on that and a proper Green Bay Packers logo on the side and I might have to buy it!

    There's no mention of any "Lorenzo" on any of the service records or ownership documents I have which go all the way back. This car spent it's life in California before recently suffering the indignity of being traded in for a hard to find new model at a Porsche dealership in the Midwest, where I found it. I wanted one with the Euro-style nero interior so I knew this one was for me!

    Does Lorenzo have exactly the same spec? This one has a Challenge grille installed by the previous owner that you cannot see in my photo.

    Congrats! I'm a first-time Ferrari owner with my own 355 and every drive still feels like a grand occasion. Mine's in for its overdue major service right now –*but Seattle winters aren't much use for anything other than maintenance with cars like these, so I'm looking forward to our first grand tour in spring. Enjoy, and take care of her for the next owner. It's a legacy, and FChat is one of the best places to share that experience.

    Congrats on a beautiful car! If you don't have a Tubi or Capristo in there time to start shopping. Capristo is the best sound wise and once you do that you'll ask yourself why you didn't do it earlier.
