    Thanks for the advice. The car is from PA where it was serviced by Algar. Last service was at 16,732 miles.

    The 348 is an excellent choice for a first Ferrari. When the economy bounces back do plan to sell the 348 and purchase the 360? I hope to hear back.

    Congrats and enjoy! There is nothing better than the first time time, hearing the scream of a Ferrari at full throttle....."Musica di sogni"

    I still look at the steering wheel sometimes everytime I'm out driving and thank God for the opportunity to live a childhood dream.

    Forza e salute!

    PS - If your front fog light lenses don't have extra clear covers over them to protect them, I'm sure you will want to buy some clear cover material to install on them. This is because 348 replacement foglights or foglight lenses are almost unobtainable!!

    Here's a thread discussing this issue. I think most people have been satisfied with the lamin-x material. FYI :)

    Late to catch this thread but never too late to offer my congrats for being able to fulfill your F dream. Many only dream but few realize theirs. AS fellow fchatters have said - drive as it was meant to be. Don't let it become a garage queen. I drive mine every chance I can find decent weather altho right now it's snow and rain! Enjoy the rush and welcome to the fraternity.

    I never turn on the radio. The engine is music to my ears.
