    plugzit's car. I really want it but my wife would absolutely kill me. Then she'd divorce me. Unless he wants to do a partial trade for my street '95 f355....

    Gah, stop, if you could only hear my inner monologue trying to justify it. Problem is I don't want to part with my '95 - what I really need to do is put a good brake kit on this car and just run it.

    At first I thought it was a 355 in a video game. Not a bad looking car!

    Either way is correct. Honestly I drove them both ways and they will all need shocks springs brakes in time so upgrade at your leisure unless you need that challenge car that will be a classic in the anals of ferrari history LOL

    I could never remotely imagine that scenario.

    I would guess the car did not hit reserve.

    Thanks for the kind words!

    Bob, we could work something out.
    Tell her you're keeping it for a friend.
    Buy a cabin by the river just in case.

    Gotta love BaT. They gave me high bidder's contact info. Said no additional fees (no buyer's premium!) if we reach a deal.

    Problem is I've used all of those ploys before. Now I'm at a hard car limit so if one comes in, another has to go, no way for me to talk around it :). I do have an airstream I could live in if push came to shove....

    If you still have the car in the spring time and I decide I want to do more track and less street driving (I have 8 other cars, so strong possibility), maybe we can talk about it.

    If we put a yellow wrap on the challenge car would she notice it's different? :D

    Gorgeous car, but my kids got to go to college so a challenge car is a bit out of reach.
    I do however admire them so much I've slowly been creating essentially a 'challenge tribute' car.

    Probably not :). She'd realize that the seats etc. were different but I could explain that all away as 'upgrades...'

    And then call her out to the garage one day. Honey look at this! As you peel the wrap off.

    Never knew it was a different color under there :D

    Hopefully, we won't lose plugzit in this forum. He's a fantastic source of information from what I've seen.

    Are you replacing the 355 with something new?

    He still got his tree car. He will never get rid of that one. It is sales-proof. Plus he is semi-crazy. He will just buy more Ferrari and the only ones he likes are in the 348/355 section.

    Bruce has more cars and interests in cars than he knows what to do with. He's not going anywhere. I wish I could find a place for this car too. It is really that gorgeous. I watched over it under restoration. Across from my office. The guys did an outstanding job.
