    Changing your mind isn't always a bad thing.

    I just sat here for 5 minutes trying to figure out a combo that satisfies your description, and didn't come up with anything not already mentioned. :D

    Cannot argue with the BB choice.

    I thought we also had a Lambo on the table ?

    Can I trade in two of the four and just have two cars?
    I would go for a classic front engine V12 either a 550 if you want a newer drivable car or a vintage 365 or 330.
    My second would be mid engine buit I would have an F40.
    Wmat more cou,d you need. You have anice V12 for the street and for track days you have your F40.

    "I think 4 is an appropriate number of total Ferraris"

    I could read and re-read that sentence for days. I'm definitely mentioning it to my wife. ;)

    Well, well. Of those who posted, I just may know you the best and what your true, main "interests" are...automotive and otherwise. Therefore, excluding smoking hot Asian chicks, you should:

    1. Do whatever Rob's wife tells you to do as she is the only stable individual in your household. Shepard dog "Kloie"'s advice may be considered, but her eyes are different colors...kind of like yours are after leaving certain adult establishments;
    2. You may have the opportunity to "purchase" a very low mileage red/tan Testarossa in Dallas in the very near future for about the cost of a table dance (to put it in terms of something you understand), you just have to remember to keep the seats clean on your late drives back home to Southlake;
    3. As you make major life decisions (ex. what things come in packages of three?; whether to block Tony off the track the next time he goes 4 off?; etc.), you should stay away from red wine. Especially 4 bottles of red wine in less than time than it takes to watch a movie. Consumption of such beverages historically renders you helpless and incapable of sound thought. Especially when suffering "shrinkage" as a result of late night hot tubbing; and
    4. Last, but not least, draft a will which leaves all your Ferraris and the Phil Hill signed Enzo portrait to G.A. Scott, international playboy, in the event you are later found dead in a sewer handcuffed to a stripper (Jennie, I'll never tell if we can just share the cars)

    Over & out... "Mr. Senstive"

    3a. Also keep Robs Wife away from red wine. Especially 9 bottles shared only with a handful of other drinkers. Unknowing consumption of highly combustible materials may result. Good thing she doesn't smoke!

    :D

    we're pretty close to that right now...

    85k mile Tundra, 155k BMW, and two early 80's RX7's.

    Priorities. :)

    Gotta keep the 355C... just too cool... too much history... too good for the track... too good as a FChat icon.

    I'm a big fan of the 512BB, so I'd pick it over the 328. But I know others who'd strongly go the other way... the BB has diverse opinions both ways.

    The only question in my mind is 360 vs 456. Given 4 Ferraris, a 4-seater makes sense. So, depending upon what you choose for that Vintage 12, I'd get a 456 or a 360.

    I've really thought about a 308 GTB or 365 BB. I drove Gamesters GT4 and loved that.

    Cha ching.

    Agreed. All the above are neat.

    For a race car, do you have to keep the 355c? I'd suggest a sports racer in lieu of the 355c, but that's just me. A 360C body panel costs as much as entire DSR spec Stohr and im sure the 355c isn't much less dough.

    You could drive either a 360 or 550 daily.

    [qoute]#5 - Need a late model Ferrari, < 10 years old. However, post big depreciation hit.[/quote]

    550.

    Can you really chose by yourself or need J's approval?? In that case, you should go straight to her. hehehe

    I would keep 355C, 512BB, GTE, & 456. But personally I like 550 over 456. Can you really utilize 4 seater (but not really for adults) Ferrari while you have another 4 seater anyway?
