    Indeed. Ferrari ownership has actually helped save me money on my daily driver though. I have learned a great appreciation through Ferrari ownership for preservation. I take very, very good care of my daily driver which is a 2006. I smile every time I drive my Cayenne Turbo S, every single time. And it's because I've lovingly restored the paint to new and maintain the leather. As a result, no new car payment and low property tax. Ferrari will definitely help you appreciate a fine automobile. But you're going to spend a lot to lovingly maintain a ferrari. If you can't, or won't, I'd personally rather you didn't buy one.

    If you really and sincerely appreciate all the help we provided then kindly share with us please one question I'm certain most of us wants to know as this would be a true test whether we really helped you or you wasted our time.

    What have you learned?

    1. There are no cheap Ferrari's. You pay in one way or another.
    2.A ppi does not guarantee the car won't fall a part after you drive it off.
    3. At any time you can have a 5 figure bill. That's the nature of the beast.
    4. You can't be on a budget when you own a Ferrari. You have to pay to play.
    5.if you don't like a lot of attention don't buy a Ferrari.

    Right on.

    One other lesson is that marching to your own drum can go a long way. If you can go 2+2, you'll get more car and more exclusivity for the money. Not all Ferraris are boy racers.

    Very good. Whew! Took a while but it finally sink in......

    Allow me please to add a few more. Again, I am not trying to be mean, just trying to help.

    - There is no such thing as a perfect car. Like human beings they all have their plus and minuses. Nothing in life is perfect. We all go for the best we can get given what we have to offer.

    - If you ask people question and they are kind enough to make the time to reply to you - show appreciation instead of doubting them. And dont expect everyone to say the same thing as each situation is different.

    - Dont ask the same question over and over again. You start irritating people when you do that. Someone does that to you you will be annoyed too.

    - Once you have enough information - go for what you want in life. Life is too short. You dont want to miss out on things. We only live once.

    - Its good to have a dream, but put steps in place to make your dream a reality otherwise it will remain a dream.

    - Build relationships wherever you go. Nothing worse in life than people not wanting anything to do with you.

    At the end of the day, its your life. Do whatever makes you happy.
