Is it sad that I am walking around with a smile from KEYS???!!!

Life is good.

 

the "stare at the keys thing", this will grow and fester into the blank "stare at the Ferrari's in the garage " thing, which will happen. now that you are bitten ( smitten?) its too late. having the little prissy pony on the key chain makes it worse, i have a really beat up original '70's Ferrari keychain i use on my house / daily driver keys. friends and co workers have accused me of daydreaming with the nissan keys in my hand, because it has the Lorioli ferrari keychain on it. wait till the car gets here, you take parts out of the ferrari boxes and papers, and you hesitiate trying to throw the empty boxes and ferrari papers away .

 

Yup, you've got it bad alright.

Congratulations, Bill! Drive it in good health.

I had the same feelings! I couldn’t sleep for two nights before I purchased my fcar. CONGRADULATIONS! and definitely give thanks! Also give thanks for a supportive wife,, they are as rare as a 328 

 

Maybe I'll just get some Ferrari keys. Maintenance has got to be less than if you actually get the whole car.

 

been there!

Better than using them for the F-car keys -- especially a 328.

Hint: Get a keychain that lets you separate the keys -- you get frustrated when you can't open the console box because the key is on the chain with the ignition key -- in the ignition. Rather than shut down the car to get to your garage door opener (you don't want to leave it on the visor in a GTS), ...

 

You are very pathetic.

Congratulations on all three counts!

 

I can't believe that you didn't buy the blue one.

 

Cool. Enjoy.

Congrats !!! The feelings won't go away, they only get worse after you get the car. Only they may change a bit. Having a supportive wife...priceless. I have totally the opposite. Makes things very difficult at times. Its difficult to decide on which one may have to go. ENJOY!!!

I have a Titanium gear shifter from Hill Engineering, but no car yet to put it on! I've recently had several 328s fail inspections. Oh well, it still feels good in my hands and it makes a great-looking paper weight on my desk...

 

Bill...sounds like a great day. Enjoy and congratulations.

 

Hey Husker, It's just a car!
At least that's what a guy I know told me while I was waiting for my boxer!
Heh heh, no ride for him. I'll just leave him with his taurus with the busted out side window!
And don't worry, the sleepless nights will slowly desolve into looking out in the garage just to take one last look before bed (yes, it's actually here), and then poping out of bed again about 3am just to make sure that it really is here (Oh My God it Really is here)! (Wonder if anyone would care if I take it for a quick blast?)
I don't know if this, ah, problem, really gets any better, (And I'm not sure you can call this a 'Problem', or if it Can get any better!) because after only 3 weeks of owning mine, I had to go back to the ship I work on for 60 long days! Couldn't bring the car, so I loaded up my laptop with about a hundred pics, and a couple videos I'd made, (Yeah, throttle punched, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear, Ansa howling, Carbs howling, Me smiling) just to keep me company!
So for now, I can't pop out to the garage at 3am to check out the car, and I can't take my red rocket for a ride, but I can play the video, and do, at 3am, (Yeah, Full Blast Volume) so enjoy the thrill of expectation, and enjoy the great rides to come!
Can't say if the excitement ever fades away, but really don't care if it doesn't!
Congratulations, and Enjoy!

 

Husker,

I too am waiting for my 328 to arrive..& I don't have keys!..
It was shipped from North Carolina 7-22-05,to Colorado....I can't wait! so I have much empathy for you!
Oh well when they do "get here" for us we'll both be able to enjoy our "red heads".

 

have ferrari keys on Lorioli keychains that are in great shape. i was going to get a "Dino" one for the Dino, but i really want a break form the V8's for a year or so and get a Lambo, just because i want one for a short time! i had the Dino sold to a guy in California this week, but its titled as a 1975, even though the data plate says October 1974. that means its not exempt from Cali's new draconian emissions laws. i would rather be honest and loose the sale than have the bad Karma come back on me later .


good advice about the keys!



also as time wears on, the cars will stop you dead in your tracks from time to time when you see them from funny angles and under different lighting. you notice different lines on the car over time that you never saw before, i swear!

 

Please post the photos!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!! Oh, and to both of the new 328 guys in this thread, what are your serial numbers? I want to see if I recognize any of them...

 

I think so. You should be happier with the performance of a 328 compared to the QV.

Enjoy.

 

Black and Tan 328. Thats absolutely perfect. I'm still learning and looking for mine.

congratulations.

now drive it like you stole it...
