Starting at 4:20 I still disagree with the “it’s a slow car” criticism, but I seem to be in the minority.
When Montezemolo came in, he tried to raise his stature in the company by saying what they had made before him was trash. That hurt the 348. Let’s call it the Dino syndrome. That's a quote from somewhere I forget where. Let's not forget all the speculators waiting 12-24 months for cars with deposits 50k over asking when the economy tanked in late 89 early 90 and the bottom fell out of Ferrari speculation. That hurt also and they blamed the car. The car is not without faults, no car is, but I have many original magazines from the time period, including NSX, 911, 348 shoot outs, they all wanted the 348. Even the extra cost was worth it just to look at it one said. Last page from June 2001 Forza buyers guide which I also have. In fact I don't have one magazine of the period 89-91where the reviewers did not love it, yes there was some cheap quality stuff like the air vents etc...
Here's a 348 Hot Take: The 348 and cars like it (Mondial, 456) are the worst type of Ferraris. They allow those with less means (and presumably less education) to pretend they are true members of the brand. I find it quite distasteful when these individuals are allowed to call themselves "Ferrari Owners." They did not order their cars from the factory. They are imposters.
Thats awesome! So any used ferrari owner is an imposter. Funny I thought owning a car with the Ferrari badge meant your a Ferrari owner. I know I'm a factory registered owner and I bought it used. Mainly 348 because I wanted one since I first saw it as a teen. Sent from my SM-G990U using FerrariChat.com mobile app

Ha! He claims to have purchased a 348 because it was a childhood dream car. Well some call me a skeptic, but the 348 also happens to be one of the cheapest ways into "Ferrari Ownership."
Skeptic isn't the word I'd use to describe you actually. I bought my 348 because I never warmed to the 308/328, the 360/430 is way too big for my tastes and I don'y love the 355's interior compared to the 348's. Plus no power steering and a targa--it's exactly what I wanted. My second Ferrari, I still have my first--a 400i 5-speed. Do you really have a 250 Lusso?
Whatever he has, surely he doesn’t drive it. Since “real Ferrari non-imposters” only have Ferraris so valuable you would be insane to actually think about driving one. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
Of course he does. Why else would he block access to his posting history and be trolling on the 348/355 forum.

I can take photos of expensive cars at my local Ferrari garage, too. Now prove you are the owner of SBR Engineering, Stuart Bitmead https://sbraceengineering.co.uk/
Your mom is calling, drop the X box controller. Oh and since you did not order that 250 from the factory your an imoster I assume. Set aside the fact that that picture is likely not yours.... Sent from my SM-G990U using FerrariChat.com mobile app
I'm still trying to figure out what your trying to say, what the point is lol. Is it were poor or something like that? [emoji848] All that aside how are you not banned yet? Sent from my SM-G990U using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Ohhh and since images on a forum are emperical proof, here is my garage. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Amateur hour. I can't believe you poors show your face in public. This is my garage. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Haha, that’s not a garage loser…….it’s a hanger. I have a 747 and a380 in mine. And I’m pretty sure your Concorde is not airworthy. Your clearly much poorer than me.
I purchased the largest tanker ship in the world to store my car collection, had it outfitted for luxury, 22 decks and 600 yards long, turned down 18.8bb from the sultan of Brunei to buy it from me. No one would let me dock it so I bought the entire state of California so I could access long Beach docks exclusively. Expect supply chain Issues going forward as a result. Me I just sail to China and pick up what I want when I want. I actually use 348's as wheel chocks for my monster truck which runs on my luxury tanker on deck 19. Need to keep the truck from moving when underway after all. Proletariat, all of you. I need to go vomit now from. just speaking with you. I can smell your poverty over the internet.

We doubt you because you're a moron, not because you found a picture of someone's garage on a Google Image search.
Ferrarium.... let's not kid our selves.. you're a Trifosi peasant.. lets look at the facts, only a peasant would do your own meticulous engine out service where you know exactly what has been done at every step to your level of comfort and satisfaction. Where as if you were a TRUE Trifosi and ambassador of the brand you would surely only pay someone else on the clock in Maranello to have performed all that work while trying to beat the book time.
