    In keeping with the poll on what color you would order if buying today I though it might be interesting to see how color correlates with age when you bought your first F car.

    1st = 42 and Nero
    2nd = 44 and Rosso Corsa

    Cars and color had no relation to my age. I wanted a 355 since I first saw one in LA (2000)

    After I set this up I realized I should have allowed for multiple answers for multiple car owners and not just you 1st F car. "How old when and what color".

    308, under 40, red,

    355, over 50, blue.

    But I think it will still show if there is any correlation between age and color.

    How many older guys have trophy wives? I'm sure plenty of older guys buy Red Ferrari's for similar reasons :)

    I don't buy solely on color. There are about 5 to 6 colors that I like in general. Any of these would have been fine as long as the condition and mileage were good. My car just happened to be red. Purchased at 48. I would have been just as happy with black, dark blue, silver, or gray.

    I was 31 when I bought my red 99 GTS 5 years ago. Like the Berlinetta I'm buying now, red wasn't what I was specifically seeking, just happened to be the right car otherwise.

    I would find checking over 40 and red to imply a misleading answer. While that would be correct with regards to a Ferrari, it's incomplete. I've driven red sports cars continously since getting a license at 16 (now 63) because I like driving and working on them, no other reason, and red is my favorite color, also none of the other often presumed reasons.

    Suddenly, when I got to about 45, people would look at my car and say "Oh, mid-life crisis time?" Nothing in my life stye changed at all, only peoples perception of it. Any body else experience that phenomenom?

    Stay with the car. It's cheaper in the long run.

    I was 25 when I bought my first Ferrari, an Azzurro '89 328 GTS. Just bought the car back after more than 10 years. :)
