355 An Ode to the F355

I know I haven't owned my car particularly long, and I've had and will have a lot of questions but I was driving it earlier today and it's just such a great car.

I've had a lot of cars in my lifetime from my first car an '87 Scirocco 16v to Supra Turbos to an Eclipse GSX, numerous Alfa Spiders from all generations, Triumphs, BMWs, Subaru STis, Cobras and even my current '03 911 Turbo X50. The 355 is by far the best of them all.

It's super comfortable yet handles incredibly well - not too stiff not too soft

It's fast without being prison fast in 2nd gear

It's showy but still approachable

I love the smells, the quirks, the looks, the gawks, etc.

It's not perfect and it is definitely not the most reliable car I've ever owned - even my '74 Alfa was more reliable. But it has that X factor that makes me know this car will stay in my collection forever.

I hope you all feel the same! I just had to gush

I've posted this photo before but c'mon - it's gorgeous!
