    Im sure this is one of those things that everyone else knew except me. But thought I would pass it on just in case.

    A friend showed me the other day how, when getting out of the car, you can raise or lower the windows without the keys in the ignition, as long as the doors are open.

    This has proved to be a boon as mine don't go fully up unless doors are open anyway. This just makes it so much easier.

    Be kind if you all know already! Does it work on 348 as well?

    All the more modern Ferraris do that. It does time out after a minute or so.

    As a recent owner, (1.5 years) I did not know this. Very handy, won't have to climb in, insert key just to close the windows.

    thanks

    Funny story, while leaving for work this morning I notice a bunch of fluid drops around the right front tire of my 355. so I'm thinking, jeeze do I have a caliper leaking? Upon touching the fluid it did seem like hydraulic fluid. Then it dawned on me, a small dog must have gotten into my garage yesterday (door open for a while) and relieved himself on this tire. Laughed, washed hands,went to work.

    Phew thanks for making me feel a little better!

    So did you do the old trick of tasting it to see what fluid it was?

    Didn't taste it. remembered the old addage " don't eat the yellow snow".
    I did smell it though and it didn't smell like urine.
    Poetic justice if the doggy had received a shock while peeing so close to the battery.
