    Cold, crisp and sunny day here in Seattle. Out for a short drive after work, and look at my speedo! ;)

    19,000 miles in three years of ownership. I have not regretted putting one of those miles on the car either!
    I would have put more miles on the car, like I have my two previous Ferraris, but I have found myself busier than in years past, and my most recent girlfriend lives in Seattle area, rather than up in Canada. ;)

    Ahhh...it is nice to see an F355 with real mileage on it and being used. The cars are happier that way. ;)

    Good stuff. Here in the bay area it has been 75 or more every day this last week. I put 300 miles on my 355 in three days, all with the top down and tubi screaming. I only drove the 360 one time!! Just can't get enough of that 355 sound!!

    Nice mileage! 'Bout time someone drove these beasts rather than left them in stalls afraid to saddle 'em!


    We've been having rain for the past few days (and we need it!), so I've had the top up. Well, the weather cleared up today just in time for locals at my lunch restaurant to give me grief about not having the top down!

    Ouch!

    It's usually down. Not today. Should have been.








    ...but at least I had her out driving.

    Same here. I went out for a drive in my 355 F1 spider too yesterday. It was cool, crisp sunny as well. I have had the 355 for 1 year now and put on over 5,000 miles. Hard but fun miles. I was looking for over 2 years before I bought this car. Never regretted spending a little more and getting an F1.

    Congrats!

    I did 5300 miles in the one year I have owned my 348. Hope to continue doing between 3-5K miles every year. :)

    :eek: I thought I was the king of 355 miles :). Congratulations!!!! I put over 5k miles in my first year of 355 ownership......:D

    I think if this happened more often and more focus is put on condition, maintenence and care. The incentive for unscrupulous people to roll back odometers would diminish.
