    Yep! Yesterday was the final straw to make the 360 spider my daily driver over my 2007 Porsche 997 C4 Cab. The Ferrari is a blast to drive in every way shape and form! A fantastic drivers car with the perfect race car feel- while being very comfortable. Yesterday I drove over 150 miles over Southern Ca. I was in traffic, stop and go, open highway, and I even was able to get my metal apartment for rent signs in the back! The AC works great and the power seats (non Daytonas) are extremely comfortable. There is not too much wind noise (even at triple digit speeds) and the car doesn't run hot, sputter, get cranky, nothing! Wow, I love this car. The Porsche on the other hand- not as fun to drive, not much of a trunk (the front diff takes most of the room), not as much power, too many electronics and just overall boring. Of course the 997 isn't as fragile as the 360 and is newer.... But I have had zero problems with the 360 and the 997 is always in the shop. Yep, I broke 20,000 miles yesterday and I have plenty more to go!

    Ferrari has come a long way. I never considered owning one even 5 years ago bc I thought they were constantly breaking down and poorly engineered.

    I'm happy I was wrong.

    Im sure your comments makes 360 owners smile.
    I personally love hearing stories like this.
    Life is to short to hold back on what makes you happy.
    Keep driving in good health.

    Awesome story! Hopefully it is equally trouble free over 50,000 miles.

    I am happy to report that my 360 F1 Spider has much less wind in the cockpit than my 2011 Boxster S. Both have wind blockers.
