    Well, since it got bumped from the dead, I still have my 328 two years after the thread started...

    Still no plans to sell. Still runs like a champ!

    Had my 308 for ten years, passed it on to a new custodian.

    Happy with a Cayman S now.

    No regrets, but not excluding future Ferrari ownership. Would be a more contemporary car though, done with the vintage stuff.

    Still on my first 89 328gtb... Been tempted to upgrade, but holding out for now. Too hard to give up on 328.

    I am a new fish....

    I was in and out of Porsches for years but purchased my first Ferrari 11 months ago, a 2008 F430 F1 coupe. Now that I have one I will always have a Ferrari till the day I die!

    I hope to step into a 458 Italia in about 1 year from now, saving a little each month :D

    I had my first 15 years then sold it. Now, I'm expecting number 6 in a few months.

    I've had several very fun cars (no ferrari's yet) and while i miss every single one of them, I don't regret selling any of them. The upgrade process is extremely fun.

    I've had a lot of work into some of the cars that i've owned, which has definitely made it harder to let go of them, but there's nothing like coming home in a new toy and getting to know her.

    First Ferrari, now going on six months. I'll take a hint from many of the previous owners: I'm never letting her go. Just don't pinch me, I don't want to wake up and find this was really just a dream.

    LOL! Don't let Sophia hear you say that.

    I've already been offered for more than I paid; I turned it down.

    I can TOTALLY believe that Jeff. I've never been "jealous" of another Ferrari
    owner until I saw/rode in YOUR CAR :p:p Simply ASTOUNDING car.

    Jealousy between friends? I won't have it :). Next time we meet, I'll hand you the keys and you can try her for yourself.

    I feel the same way. 4 years with a 997 c2s now 6 months with a Cali. Will tide me over until I move to a 458 spider a couple years from now. I'm so glad I didn't get an r8 or sls amg or lp560, I would have regretted not getting a Ferrari.

    12 years for my 308...

    I think owning a Ferrari is like dating that super hot but psycho girl in college. Things seem great then she does something stupid and you want to break up with her. But then you look at her again and fall head over heals again.

    I'm a new Ferrari owner, so yes, I still have it.

    Interesting to see how some get attached to their f-cars and others do not. As for me, I'm not overly sentimental about vehicles, and plan to have two Ferrari's at a time (The bug bit, and one is not enough). Now that the 456M is sorted, I'm looking for a 360 to go with it.

    A few years down the road, and I can see replacing the 456M with a 612, and then replacing the 360 with a 430. Anything after that only God knows, but I sure would like to have a 458 at some point. Those cars just kill me.

    Cheers,

    George

    Wow that's an amazing ownership period and by the looks of it a very nice car. I have had my first Ferrari for only 5 years, my Dad has had one of his Dino's for 25 years.
