    Just buy two. Save one in the garage and drive the other. Problem solved.

    I completely agree

    Drive it!

    My daughter and I dRIve nearly every Sunday morning. It is our thing to do together, and to me that is invaluable. Even if my car is F12 is worthless when I decide to sell it, I have all the memories with my baby.

    I finally have a chance to reply to this great topic.
    As many of you might be aware, my 1967 330 GTC is and has always been my daily driver - except of course, when the roads were salty in upstate NY.
    I've owned it since November 8, 1975 and have NEVER regretted driving it. It was purchased from FAF Motorcars (Now, Ferrari of Atlanta) in Tucker Georgia and I am the second owner.
    In the 70s and 80s, the car spent a great deal of time on the track, having accumulated over 10,000 miles of track driving, including instructing.
    I still drive it regularly and it has around 200,500 miles.
    I did a major engine rebuild at 162,000 and the transaxle was rebuilt at 72,000.

    Nobody has worked on the car since I've owned it - except me!
    I spend between $75 and $100 per year on maintenance.

    My point here is, no matter what Ferrari you own, there is no greater reward than driving it.
    I've heard people say that they're not driving their Ferrari because they're protecting their investment - what they're really doing is saving it for the next owner!
    BUT, I've never heard anyone say that they regretted driving their car.

    Hopefully many of you will enjoy their cars as they were meant to be - driven!

    I almost bought a boxer from Steve Ahlgrim at FAF in 86, and ended up finding one from a private sale that year and have had it since then, but not as long as yours!! Still love every time I get in it and drive it !

    Dogs love Ferrari! It's a fact. You need to only do a perusal of F-chat to confirm. Put a towel down, & take your best buddy for a ride. My pooch has never once complained "You're driving too fast!"
