    7+ years, with my dream car, it was a wonderful experience. I think there is a good chance I'll buy another one.

    This forum has been great, By far the most knowledgeable car subgroup I've been a part of.
    I appreciate all I've learned and hope I've given back some.

    Wow Ken! Thanks for the contributions to the community - I’m just over 7 years in too, no sign of being able to part with it though!
    The new owner has a great car that’s well looked after.

    If the car goes to SoCal make sure the new owner knows the Stooges.

    You made your F355 one of the best there is, Ken.

    Good luck with your search for another that you'll make even better!

    Your build was (and still is) one of my favourites.

    I see you have a type... ;)

    Congrats man. I'd say sad to see you go but it looks like you're leaving one foot in still. I did the same for almost 3 years before I found my replacement 355. :D

    I searched for like 7 months to find the right Silverstone or blue f430. Finally pulled the trigger on this beautiful grigio, and go figure, right after that several silverStones get listed ... My luck lol

    It already showed up at a car show this morning! I knew that car looked familiar. Enjoy your new 430.

    It's only a matter of time Kenny is going to realize the 360/430 section is boring as hell. I've been contributing to that section for years. The 458/488 section is worse.

    I still have the recipe from the multiple paint scans. Elliot posted some pictures that made it look exact, he was able to find somebody as well that was able to get a paint match camera on the wheel. Hopefully he'll chime in on that

    You're not kidding LOL....
    Somebody posted the question, "what kind of oil should I use?"
    I got the popcorn ready, open the thread and....
    Like all the answers were, "whatever the dealer uses"
    Maybe someday I'll be able to swing a 430 and a 355 GTS

    Problem is we can't ship paint liquids internationally (I think).
