    Ok, all I got is my Ferrari Brothers and Sisters here in FChat. I know everyone has gone through this experience when your Ferrari is in the shop for repairs, mods, etc. and the weather is fantastic for the weekend and all you have is your boring blah blah daily driver. It's like for guys being a little backed up (wink) and your significant other is out of town visiting friends and family and all you got is yourself and stuff (crickets). Folks, can I get an AMEN please?

    How about finding a Cars & Coffee? Or, call one of you friends with a cool car and let them drive for a change? Or you go to a local high-end car Dealership and act interested!

    I miss driving my 360 even for a few days. Worst time is bringing my sweetie in for a fix and missing a weekend of fun.

    I feel your pain. My car is currently in for a major service, a clutch, and a few other miscellaneous items. I didn't have my car for F1 weekend or this following weekend with absolutely beautiful driving weather. I haven't even called to check in on it, but damn I miss that car!

    I was on holidays recently in the USA for two weeks and missed my 360 so much

    I have never had a car that I felt so strongly about

    I really feel for you guys! I'm here sitting outside of Chicago waiting for the snow, ice, salt, wind, and any other crap that Mother Nature can throw at us until around April! All I can do is look - maybe touch a bit - maybe smell the leather, put on my F-Shoes and walk around the house - OMG its only been 2 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That's why you have to get another Ferrari. When one is in the shop, you can drive the other!

    Gents, thank you so much for "sharing the pain" with me. Candy should be ready sometime this week. I will keep everyone posted upon her return.

    I think that a good remedy for Ferrari withdrawal is a nice, exciting daily driver. I just had mine fully detailed and prepped for the winter (except for the tires, I haven't switched to my winter wheels / tires yet) and I have fallen in love with my DD again.

    Moorespeed here in Austin. Great shop and service. They are the only ones who have worked on my car since I've owned it and they are a fantastic group to work with. Highly recommended if you're looking for a great local independent.

    Feel your pain... I have been without my 360 for almost a month..... I didn't realize how much I would miss driving it until I was unable!! I have been passing the time with my R8 Spyder, but it just isn't the same!!

    Hopefully I will be back in business for the coming weekend sporting the new CS bumper and skirts...

    or any other number of fun cars. As well as move to a place where the weather doesn't stink for half the year.

    On another note, I can feel the OP's withdrawal 'challenges', but I think at some point that original post was a bit too much information. It's just a car for God's sakes, not our identity!

    While the rest of the world is suffering from 'global warming', here's what we are doing...

    Dino, it's more than just a car... It's an accessory (smile). I was telling my wife, blah blah blah my watch is in the shop, I've lost my cool iron cross thick bracelet (Russell Simmons design) and I have no cool car. When we go out, I look poor! My wrists are bare, my DD might as well make me invisible and common. I gotz no bling other than my wedding ring. Sigh, alas I will have my candy back soon. On a more positive note today I got my watch back (smiling). Oh and my car is at Moorespeed too here in Austin.

    Laughing, with all the time I would be driving Candy, I am looking at all these 360/430 posts and I am now spending money on mods for the car like a grandmother dialing HSN for Christmas presents! Coming soon will be LED light upgrade for both front/rear and turn signal light, CS front grills, interior LED map light and License Plate LED. Christ, if I don't get Candy back soon, I won't recognize her if I saw her with all the Mods I've ordered.

    Stuart- I feel for you. Worst is when you sneak down to the garage for one last peek before you go to bed, and she is not there.

    Hopefully you live somewhere not in the winter storage area of the US so you can make up for lost time.

    TRUE DAT! And I thought I was the only one that opened the door to my garage to get that last peek before bedtime. NICE!

    Stuart- I have only been doing that since 1975, when I got the Dino 246 GT. Missed it in England with the 308 GTS since she was in a detached garage and it was usually raining.
