    With 2 less 355's around, our car's rarity and value have just escalated. Bad humor...I know.

    I guess Japan's car price (read : import tax) is different. In Japanese news they said 300 miliion Yen which is about $3 million.
    If this happened in Singapore the damage cost would be $5 million :p

    Maybe the white Testarossa is the actual car from Miami Vice, that would add a few $$$

    :p

    1. 348 owners have no friends?

    2. 348 owners are never invited to the cool drives?

    3. 348 owners are scared to drive their garage queens?

    4. 348s aren't able to keep up the pace that 355s, 360s, 430s, etc can put out?

    5. 348 owners are mad because they can't use our hair gel while driving their cars?


    You pick. ;)

    I think the Ferrari's did a pretty good job of protecting their occupants. It says a lot of about the integrity of the cars to have that many cars hit with that level of damage yet no one was seriously hurt.

    My guess: One "professional" journalist saw the white Testarossa and since "Ferrari = Red" he figured: Oh my God, a Lamborghini!

    1. We usually have grease under our fingernails and most of our friends have Chevys
    2. NOBODY wants to get passed by a 348
    3. They're down while we do our own engine-out services
    4. We stay in the back to create space so we can enjoy the corners without running up on somebody's rear mid-turn.
    5. We use gear lube.

    It's not about whether they're rare or not. If we keep totaling these cars at the rate we are, a 01' 360 will be worth $350,000 in no time. It's like that comendian that crashed that enzo years ago. How many idiots are we going to let drive these cars until we relieze they will become a dying breed. I wanna drive my 360, not park it because it's 1 of 100 in the world.

    Well said brother! Don't forget that we are generally smarter than to hot shoe on a rainy day especially with ego-maniac late model owners with more money than ability. As I recall, your car doesn't even have wipers! :D

    6. 348 drivers are such. . . ahem, narcissists that they will only accept invitations to drive with other 348 drivers?

    (Kidding, you know! :) I wish I had a 348, too!)
