    The cracked spoiler, broken fog light and all that road rash gave the car character. :D

    Yes. And that's why I have never seen on in the rear view mirror before it attacks.

    The first Ferrari I ever drove was a 355. We were at an investor meeting in Bev Hills (I was in my early 20's just out of JD/MBA school and looking to fund my first venture). This 30 year old "kid" tossed us the keys and said "leave the business plan and go drive my car around for 2 hours" - lol.

    I remember feeling like it had the longest nose ever and was so paranoid about pulling it out of the driveway and in and out of lots. lol.

    Fast forward, and the 550 doesn't even seem like an issue at all and we have never scraped it (even as low as it is) in its life!

    Saw this at Retromobile today-personally didn’t think the colour combo was the best-but the vendor told me it was sold for 250k euro…
    The carbon seats and low mileage(5,000kms) obviously helped.

    Nice introduction to an F355! Great story.

    It's not that the F355's nose is long rather its rake is very abrupt. It's hard to tell where the front bumper is. This video of my F355 challenge at Watkins Glen demonstrates this...






    NASCAR drivers have the luxury of knowing where their front bumpers are allowing them to bump draft...





    Imagine doing that at 200mph! :)

    The front was resprayed at 59,000 miles in 2007. It's collecting new road rash now and is on its third left fog light, :)

    I was lucky to find one in that color. It's a chameleon the way it changes colors in different lighting...
