    My wife mentioned to me everytime she drives this particular route, there is a Ferrari parked outside. I had to see it for myself.

    Car needs a new owner - a motivated, cash-in-hand buyer. Nobody leaves a prized-possession outside in a snowstorm. Nobody. Go talk to the guy, get the story, make an offer.

    maybe it's really a Fiero ;)

    I know I've seen some photos of a 348 being driven in a snowstorm.... they make Blizzaks for that? :D

    he prolly got a quote for a major and bought that snowmobile instead.

    speaking of which... What would be a good estimate ?? 8-10 K for a belt change & major ??

    just in case this guy wants to unload, I may be interested

    Everyone knows a garage isn't for storing cars it's for growing weed.

    I like the rims :)

    I disagree...I have seen WAY more 355 Fiero Replicas than I have 348 Fiero Replicas....


    I like the wheels, and the window tint...looks pretty good on the quarter windows...

    He parks it outside because his 458 and 599 GTO are parked in the garage.

    If that car is owned by who I think it is... the car is no where near a prized possession. It's just another car in his collection of many odd ball things he collects. Last count he had somewhere near 200 cars lying around in various states of disrepair. Some very nice collectible cars, others...not some much. About 30 of them are Ferrari's...whole, and in pieces. Oh..he is not hurting for money at all. Although if you met him, you would think he lived in a cardboard box, until you saw the 3 city blocks he owns and rents out the houses and stores he built on the land. Never mind the factories and property he owns just off of Evans av in Toronto.

    Yea..to him it is just junk...somthing to play with, or use as a planter which he did with a 308 at his house..lol.

    just so I don't get in over my head.... how much is a major ?
    I'm a 308 owner and perform most of the work myself. However, I'm not up for an engine out belt service.
