    As of the end of August 2022, I have now owned my 89 Ferrari 328 for 23 years. This machine has been part of me, literally for over 2 decades. Its been with me through the good times and the bad. I have to say, its been flawless in its performance, its reliability , and its true design, that of a pure driving / drivers machine, only matched by its Ferrari stable mates of that same era. The 328 / 308 has also been , in my estimation, Ferraris most significant design mark in the automobile industry, they still turn heads to neck breaking twists all these years later. Im grateful that I have been able to maintain it and then some, for all the years that I have owned it. Although I do not drive it as much as in previous years, its always ready and waiting for me at its place of rest in my shop. These days, I spend a lot of time on two wheels, as well as Karting. I happy to say, that my 328 will be with me for another 23 years, and then some, God willing. There is one automobile in this world with a soul, and that is a Ferrari, its that simple .

    Well, that's great, averaging over 3600 miles per year !

    While not a Ferrari, I've been averaging about same with my now 90 year old Roadster that I've had almost 33 years (& no intentions of ever selling her), and "as we speak", doing some final preparations for a 3+ week, 3000+ mile road trip vacation, starting later next week.
