    Great post, great thread, great car

    and the look of joy on your faces

    Me thinks enzo is looking down and smiling

    especially as there is no power steering on 348 - the real thing...

    ENJOY...

    Late to this thread...but congrats Bee Jay!!! Same frame of mind here, been my dream since I was a little tike playing with Matchboxes, now I find myself at 1:am dusting it in the garage!!! And same issues as mentioned here...yes, I've been stuck at the gas station figuring out plan B to open the gas cap, yes some co-workers congratulate me, others are jealous.

    Now don't be afraid to put miles on her, the more the merrier :) :) :)

    And when you get stuck, do a search on Fchat. If you can't find your answer, post a question. Ferrarichat really has been the difference between a flawless ownership experience and a nightmare. Lots of experienced owners online here who graciously answer questions...

    enjoy!

    I agree.
    I think of F-chat as Ferrari Dictionary for myself.

    I just had the most incredible weekend. My birthday party was a huge sucess. My Mom, two of my sisters, and my son and daughter were all here for my birthday. A good friend showed up all the way from Maryland, my cousins from LA surprised me, most of my church and most of my co-workers showed up. Everyone, and I mean everyone wanted to go to the garage to see the Ferrari. The Ferrari was the hit of my party. The food was great, I mean really phenomenal, but the Ferrari had everyone freaked, especially all high school teens. The party was supposed to be about me, but I shared the spotlight with my 348. Here we are in our Hawaiin Garb, (it was a Hawaii 5-0h theme) and me with my brotherhood cap. Check out my cake.

    I got a shift knob. I guess I need to take pictures of the interior. Shift knob, alloy pedals, and a working cd player, all included with the car. I got the window accelerator from Daniel, and I bought a 1" inch extender from him for the steering wheel. I haven't figured out how to install the accelerator yet, but man, what a difference the 1" extender makes. My knees are free of the steering wheel now, and the driver comfort is much, much better. I could use a watch.....or a flag, or some 355 wheels. Does anyone make a decent seat cover for our cars. I'd like to put something on the drivers side to protect my leather.
    When is PAP here?

    I can't do a watch or the wheels ;)

    I thought I had more flags, but apparently I sent them all out. I think I accidentally sent goth 4 of them and he is selling them on the side and making money on em :D :D
    I don't believe I sent out that many, but I can't find the rest of them.

    Ten flags?!. I'm not to proud to beg. Baby please, please baby, baby please.I don't care what color. Hey Chris, let's make gang color head wraps with them, and visit Crenshaw with our tops off. Oops, yours doesn't come off does it? You can ride with me on the west side, I'll ride with you on the east side.

    I live in Santa Barbara County, in a small town called Lompoc. Halfway to LA is Ventura. Can you get up there? What is your agenda? Do you have VHS and DVD. I got some cool rocket stuff for your souvinier bag. (I'm a mad Rocket Scientist). If you make it all the way up here, I'll take you out to the launch sites. Just north of here in San Semian is the Hearst Castle. Every tourist to the cental coast of Cali. should see that. It's right up there with the Peterson museum. Get me your itinerrary so I can rendezvous. What are the Ferrirchat.com awards? Will you be here for the Monterey Historics? The Italiano Concours is August 17 in Monterey. Now that is to die for. More Ferraris than you can shake a stick at. My first year as a Ferrari owner.
