    Why do I suddenly feel like I have just made a huge mistake? Man I am depressed. There really are very few words in the English language that roll off the tongue as sweetly as "My Ferrari". I actually almost cried on the way home. This is a really unhealthy obsession I have. I tried to give the wife away with the deal and the guy said she was cute but he saw that big pregnant belly and said the next service was going to be horifficly expensive so he passed.

    That's it, I am going to the Lake Travis to drown my sorrows in Corona and bikinis on my Sea Ray this weekend. It's such a cruel cruel world.

    I am putting the money into business right now but I see one the first of next year in my future. I'm thinking Stradale.

    Cool. I used to wakeboard and kneeboard alot. One of my biddies used to hang out with Darin Shapiro and his brother during the summer. He's one bad dude.

    Alan, bro, glad to see it finally sold. I am suprised it took that long. But sorry to hear of your emotional state. Have fun in Travis. Was there last summer, it was a blast.

    Hope the wife and pregnancy goes well. :)

    That guy is not very smart if he took the Ferrari and not the wife. You know what I would have said ;) Your wife is stunning, and much curvier than any 355 ;) :D

    Yummy mummy....as Brasilian wives go :D

    Hope the practice is going well, doc. Take care. :)



    Your friend

    -Ryan

    Thanks for all the good wishes Ryan. I'll tell her you complimented her. She needs it lately. Feeling the fat belly blues. Cheers.

    Sorry to hear! Just out of curiosity since I'm in the market currently, do you mind letting me know what kind it was and about what you sold it for?

    Best Regards,

    It was a near perfect example of a 1999 355F1 Spider. Yellow/black with yellow stitching, sheilds, tubi, HREs, McIntosh amp. 13.5K miles all records and 30K service for 105K.

    If your business is or can be profitable, I can't say that is a dumb move and you may be a man of prioritirs in regard to your family. You are a smart man in my book!

    I felt seller's remorse both times I sold my cars that I liked. When I sold the 2001 360 F1 I was relieved.

    Hey man.....don't stress-out about it. Ferrari's come and go, what's important is that...

    WAIT, you did what? YOU SOLD YOUR FERRARI? DUDE!!!!!????


    Just kidding. Sorry to hear it. Think of it this way: better to have owned a Ferrari and sold it...then to never have never owned a Ferrari at all.

    Hmmm...is that supposed to be soothing or something....cause it seems rather devoid of any real calming or emphathetic meaning. OH, got one:

    Roses are red, Violets are blue....one day (soon) Ferrari ownership will come back to you!!

    See....all better! :) :) :)

    Alan - when the 355's cash pays off to buy it back along with a 550 and CS, you'll be feeling a lot better!

    --Dan

    Pete: don't you mean a good judge for characters? or a good character to be judged? i speak can engrish, leally

    I dont know where the guy is from actually. Lambo Dallas sold it on consignment for me. I dont think I want to know. I may start stalking it if I did.

    I saw your car numerous times before it sold. I'd be sad too. The good news is, there will always be another.

    I'm not sure if I should offer you congratulations or sympathy?
