    Oregon Raceway in Grass Valley. It is so new and so far in the middle of nowhere that they have the "watch for rattlesnakes" sign AND we had to drive a ways down a dirt road to get to it!

    I am still convinced that when I purchase my 355, I would put the most miles driven on a 355 to date or at least by one owner ; )

    definitely willing to, only problem is if I can afford too.

    Great Pics, thanks for posting! Just wondering about your impressions of the California is compared to your 355? I know they're different cars for different markets, but I'm interested in impressions of the car in presence of other Fcars, re: size, proportion, etc.

    Well, and this is only my opinion, I liked the look of the California with exception of the rear, which I find horribly unattractive...but it didn't seem to me like it should have a Ferrari emblem on it. To be honest, here is the very first thought I had in the parking lot on the drive over when the top was put up: "Oh boy...people say that the 355's top is complicated; I sure as hell wouldn't want to own that in 10 years when that top breaks!" Seriously, that top will eventually stop working...and it ain't gonna be a cheap fix!

    Driving next to it for awhile on our 4.5 hour trip was nice. But, as you can see in the pics in my previous post, it is a pretty big car. It looks nice on the inside and very luxurious. It just doesn't seem like a sports car. Idk, my 355 is the only sports car I have ever owned. I just didn't get excited when seeing the Cali up close. I like the F430s....but the Cali just didn't make me drop my jaw in awe. It is a big car that looks very comfortable for long drives--perhaps a less expensive convertible baby-version of the 612???

    PS. The rear turn signal lights are ugly as sin when they blink. (LoL) Not many people get to see them in action.

    +1 ...... I have driven next to one on the 405 and IMO it looked and sounded very 'insulating' ..... :eek:

    Yes, considering the "mileage depreciation" figures I hear, I'm gonna have to pay somebody to take mine.....I just hope I don't have to pay them much. :)

    The only thing I like on the Cali is the steering wheel, wow what were they thinking.

    I agree about the rear lights being not so attractive (I hate to use the word ugly when describing a Ferrari :D:D)
