    Looks like a very nice Modena.

    I made the same move as you did just a few months ago. I sold my 90 348ts and replaced it with a 99 Modena. I find myself missing the 348 a lot. It's hard to really say exactly whats different about the 360, but it is a different driving experience. Do you ever find yourself second guessing the 360 purchase?

    I recently bought a 2004 360 Modena myself. Can't say that I regret it at all!

    I also have a Porsche 997TT heavily modified. Very different cars. Love them both!

    Here is a pic of mine. Enjoy your's in good health brother!

    How could anyone like the "no shields" on the car?
    I see that comment from time to time and just don't get it.
    I do understand it's just a matter of personal preference but i had to say it.
    BTW congrats on the new car.

    different strokes for different folks
    I like shields but personally think they look better when recessed into the fenders :)

    It is a 1999. I definitely wanted the 6 speed and not the F1. I think the F1 shifters lose there "charm" after a few weeks of city driving.

    My only problem now is I can't find enough time in the day to take it out again and again. It is fantastic to drive and in regards to the two, I like the drive of the 360 much more than the 348. Maybe because it is 8 years newer?

    Just got the car back from Wynn Ferrari because I needed the variator and OBD II campaigns done to the car. Rich out there did a fantastic job. Even threw in a few coats of wax. Best of all, he actually came in under the original estimate since I needed belt service as well.

    He replaced the previous guy about 18 months ago and I was originally leary to take the 360 there because the old regime gave me and my friends such a hard time with my 348 and their ferraris, but I must say, Wynn Ferrari has really turned it around to satisfy the customer.

    Some people don't like wearing a Calvin Klein shirt that says "Calvin Klein" in big letters on the front. Besides, the shields don't make the car drive any better--they really have no purpose. But most guys seem to like them, and I can respect that.
