    Very happy for you. Finally got my first (360), after a life time of severe Ferrari fever. I understand your excitement. I gave a friend’s grandson a ride. As we pulled in his driveway, he turned to me and said,
    “Thank you . This car is a smile maker.” So true.

    Smart man!

    Rosso Barchetta, which translates to 'little boat red'. It's a Ferrari historic color, used on the early race cars. From what I've read, the 'standard' red color was darker back then due to the lead in the paint (not sure if true, but sounds reasonable). I've added a picture of the 166MM Barchetta, and you can kind of see where they made the 'little boat' connection!

    Yes, they are definitely meant to be shared. I gave rides to the whole family the first day, but the one person who truly loved it the most was my 81 year old Grandma! My Grandpa was quite a car guy, and was always restoring and trading cars, so I think having a special car brought out the sentiment in her. My Mom's first car was a 65 Mustang and my Aunt had a GTO :)

    Barchetta gets pretty dark when it’s overcast. Met up with some local owners yesterday for the first time with the new car!

    Here’s a comparison to Rosso Corsa on a cold day.

    Parked next to the first 360 I’ve seen since having the car. Another good color comparison with Rosso Corsa, this time on a sunny day.

    Amazing car. Keep it forever. The color and the shape…….


    I miss my 360. Fast enough, low enough and analog all the way.


    Congrats on finding a truly special car. Its the lesson the kids see of making one’s dreams come true that makes it so special.

    Wow, it’s been exactly a year since I took delivery. I was able to put about 2500 miles on this year. Attended many local events - F1 watching parties, several monthly Saturday meets, and threw in a few cars and coffee. Great to look back on the year and look forward to doing even more next year. Merry Christmas everyone!
