    Aloha. first post. made up my mind to buy something this year. red on tan, at least 5 years old. two questions relevant right now:

    1) hardtop (like a 575M) or convertible (f430 or california (i know it has a reputation as a girls' car, but...))??

    2) the f430 I see is a 2005 with 1,000 miles -- worried about turning a collectible into a regular (not daily) driver.

    thanks,
    sergio

    It's not easy to do, but drive one first. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks. Buy what you like.

    Best advice ever, for any material purchase.

    Asking me to choose between my youth dreams V12 or V8, well flip a coin because there's no way I could decide lol. Still.
