    Scott,
    No worries at all. I don't mind sharing. I sold my first 355 after I was laid off about 6 years ago. I had just had my first child, and wanted a little more of a financial cushion.

    I bought the white GTS 4 years ago the moment it presented on the market. I had to own a white one, and made it a reality. I put a ton of money into that car making it a strong example. After 4 great years of ownership, I decided to sell it. Frankly, it was a bit of an impulse fueled by a number of factors.

    Once it was gone, I hated not owning a Ferrari. I considered a 360, 550 and even a D90 and 993. I just kept coming back to the 355. When this car came on the market for 50k, I took one look at it and at the records and work which accompanied it, and acted quickly.

    I honestly never thought I'd get a yellow one, but now that I have it, I really like it. I was dead wrong about this color.

    I suspect I will keep it for awhile, but who knows... If a white 360 6spd comes on the market, I would likely give that a try. :)

    I spoke with Luke today while he was driving his new car home - he is truly a 355 addict and someone who will always appreciate the elegance and power of the 355.

    Sincerely, congrats Luke I'm sure it's a gem.

    That's a great idea! Brenden, we should do it.

    I agree. I will admit... I was wrong about GM. It really looks great on these cars.

    Thanks for the support guys.

    Honestly, this car is really tight. It is amazingly clean for a 31k mile car. Dare I say better than my other 2.

    It does however have some needs. The paint really looks great from 2ft away. Under closer inspection, it really needs a paint correction from a good Detailer. The gas release button doesn't work, and thankfully I knew about the release pull in the engine bay. The E brake knob isnt working perfectly and will need adjusting. Other than that, it's pretty damn great.

    Robb, I wish I took more pictures, but I didnt. The 2.5 hour drive home was uneventful and without good photo ops on 95 south. She safe at home now. I hope I can get a few more weeks of driving before the snow and salt comes.

    Robb my gas door wasn't working either, I cleaned the plunger up with some WD-40 and it now works fine. Not sure if its as simple as that..

    It's Luke, but I suspect its something more. :)

    On my other cars, when I pushed the button, I could hear the accuator clicking. With this one, nothing happens when I push the button. Maybe it's a fuse, maybe it's something more. Either way, I'll get it fixed. :)

    I do. I put the OEM Pirelli P Zero tires on my last car when I bought it as I planned on trying to get at platinum award.

    These tires are much better.

    Well that looks great! I love the GW parkway in your neck of the woods. Hopefully you can get some time for a scenic run before the snow. 10" in Colorado and MN heading your way!
