    Ive had mine for 2 1/2 years now.... added 7000 miles, it now has over 75,000 miles on it, havn't had a single problem, and I still have a year and a half before the next major is due.

    Before I get too cocky, I probably have a gearbox service coming soon... i'm starting to fear the whining sound coming from it... even though the car still drives and shifts flawlessly.
    I'm actually not even certain the sound is coming from the gearbox, but whatever it is, its certainly gonna empty my bank account to resolve!

    ..ah, no wonder, you have aftermarket wheels - not a "pure" ferrari and who knows what else you have done to make it more reliable -

    I have almost 27K miles on the car, bought it almost 8 years ago with 5K.
    It has left me stranded only twice, (blown tire and alternator).
    Have driven it from NY to LA. I give the credit to EUGENIO and then the car.
    My car has been bullet proof.
    I have done a major a minor. I did clutch and brakes at 25K miles and they were original and had 30% wear left when changed.
    It is unbelievable all the bashing that goes on with these cars, If you find a good example it is a fantastic car.

    Yup!

    Driving it pretty regularly these days :)

    Pretty soon I am going to take my daugher with me. Just not sure about the booster seat in the front seat. Is it safe?
    I have heard yes and no. But there is no airbag so I think its fine.
    Just want to be 200% sure before I take her somewhere in it.
    She's 5 now and wants to go to the show I go to on Sundays :)

    Every Sunday I have to hear "daddy, am I old enough yet today to go with you?" I say, "no honey, not yet."

    So Cute :D :D

    Imagine the size of her grin when you finally say, "Yes, honey, you are." :D

    Take her for a ride Chris. She is ready!!!

    And Pap, I think in four years time, (not so) little GG will be stealing the keys to the red one and taking joy rides while you would be posting on Fchat. At least the car will get utilized. :)

    Almost took her today. I changed my mind and game time :)

    BUT, I took the car out....and the usual.....nothing went wrong.... ;)
    Same ol' song and dance.
    Except for the damn cat in road that just stared at me, wouldn't move, just stood there. Creepy.
    I finally went around the little devil. :)

    Ho hum..
    Took my wife to dinner last night and I took this super hi-res photo :D
    Happy to report I didn't have any issues, except for her complaining it was too cold in the cabin. That's a good problem
