    Over 7 years...It has been over 7 years, and I still look at my car in total appreciation.

    Is it the most striking, fastest, most innovative, best, etc? No

    Does it still have what it takes to get my heart pumping? Yes

    To have a car that Ferrari NA tried to remove any visual badging on it in hopes that people wouldn't associate it with the car it evolved from (no 348 badges on it anywhere, just the standard Pinninfarina on either side, the prancing horse on front and rear grilles, the nose badge, and engine lid badge, and a "spider" badge on the radio door)

    Post your favorite shots of your 348, then go out and drive her!

    The 348 is second closest to my heart after the 355.

    348's are certainly under-appreciated cars. I like the look of front end better than the front end of my 355. I also think the lack of power steering make them feel fantastic to drive.

    I really like 348s. Something about the style is just perfect, especially the cheese-grater inlets. Really low compared to something like my Maranello.

    Pap- Somehow I get the feeling the 4th of July weekend was not a holiday for you. Two weeks into winter, is it not?

    Heya buddy,

    Nah, 4th of July is just another day here in Oz. :D:D

    We are into winter, yes. But the weather has been odd here.

    Only two weeks ago early mornings were reaching 0-5 degrees C, now the mornings are averaging around 10c.

    Quite nice actually, I HATE the cold weather. :eek::eek:

    The only place that a 348 is "unloved", is in the mind of an idiot.
