    Welcome to the board!! Yes, I do believe you may be if not THE youngest, certainly
    ONE of the youngest ever.

    I got interested in sports cars at about your age - Corvettes were my thing then. I
    didn't really discover Ferrari until I was 14 years old

    Good luck to you - study hard - do well in school and one day you'll achieve your dream.

    A big Welcome to you, my young lad

    :)

    I am 11. I have been studying cars since I was 5. I started liking cars when I was 3. The car that made me like them is a 1957 Ford Fairlane 500. My dad now owns that car. He bought it for $1850. The transmission doesn't work, so the current top speed of that car is 40 mph. For his birthday, me, my brother, and my stepdad will be buying him a new transmission. He has been lookinf for one for 8 years.

    Welcome to Ferrari Chat! I'm 18 and in the pursuit of my dream of owning a Ferrari as we speak. I've wanted one since I was 12, but have been into cars since I was about your age. Work hard in school and I'm sure you'll have one someday.

    welcome to all the new young FerrariChat users.

    I can't remember the exact age, but around 6-8 myself I was watching Magunum P.I. episodes and fell in love with the 308. I really fell in love with the Miami Vice Ferraris. About 10-12 years old my small Kansas town actually had a 328 and a Testarossa that once I saw in person sealed the deal with me. I wasn't even a car person, just loved Ferraris.

    Welcome to the boards guys. Just keep the dream alive and one day you will make it happen. Do good in school and owning a ferrari will become a dream that you achieve one day. Personally for me i started loving cars when i was about your age. The car that did it for me was the Lamborghini Diablo *runs for cover*. Although i still love that car, the ferrari just kept growing on me the more i learned about them. Like the previous posters said, if you have ANY questions just ask. The guys here are mostly a good group and will help you any way they can.

    I don't have one yet.

    The one I really want is an F40. By far, the greatest car ever made in my opinion.

    This is awesome! I'm glad to see young folks are still into Ferraris! I fell in love with them when I was about 8 or so after seeing a Testarossa and a Dino.

    Just the other day, two little boys (probably 5 and 7) in a parking lot saw my 348 and said "Yay!! Ferrari!!" I was really happy!

    Welcome!
