    Just got my 348 tb 1990 home today. I´m like a child at Christmas day, shivering and trembling with my starting key in my pocket, the car in the garage (or is it a dream, is she still there, I have to go out and check if she´s still there) and smiling all the time. Am I the only one that fell this way?

    My 97 355 got delivered on Dec. 18th and I still go out to the garage everyday just to look at it and remind myself why I go to work. It snowed 3 days after I got it and I probably won't be able to get it back out on the road again for 3-4 monthes, but I'm working on all the little things every weekend to have it ready for spring.

    I've had a lot of cool cars but this is the first Ferrari/exotic. It really seems like a different feeling to own.

    Congratulations Per. I too have had my share of, "cool," cars in the past, but I must admit that my Ferrari has affected me more and in different ways than any of the others. The good news (beside the fact that you have an awesome car in your garage) is that the smile never really goes away. Hope you enjoy your new car and welcome to the forum.

    That car looks awesome!!!!

    But we have to warn you:

    Ferrari's are like eating peanuts. Once you have one, you cannot stop. :)

    Enjoy it and drive it often as it was intended!

    Congratulations! I may just put a mattress in the garage when I get mine. Just for the first week or so.

    Congratulations on your new Ferrari.
    It’s been a year since I got mine and I still think about it every day and sometimes head out to the garage just to look at it.

    Thanx for your support!
    I had to go out and have a last look before bedtime.
    I feel like Jaques Lafitte driving through Masion Blanch when I here the noise behind my back. She leave me breathless!

    Just met the previous owner. He gave me the original steering wheel and a work shop manual. Beside that, he gave me the history and all the explanations to all the records and invoices. That´s what friends are for!

    Wonder if my family like if I´m sleep in the garage? BTW, I am really happy what my wife said after swopping the Porsche into the 348: This is something really different! :)

    Certainly not the only one that feels that way. I remember getting my 308 GTS QV (my first Ferrari) home and doing the same thing. Same thing when I got the 348 TS home. My childhood dream was to own a Ferrari at some point in my life. Now I own two. Still can't believe it. :)

    Congrats on your first Ferrari. She looks like a beautiful car!

    Don't just brush by The Mayor's words of wisdom! These things are so addictive they should be sold by Rx only and regulated by the FDA.

    I tought I was the only crazy one....finally pinched enough pennies aside and bought a 355 which I always dreamed of.

    Instead of being satisfied and enjoying it, I'm now obsessing over buying another...I want a V12 456 so I could bring the wife and kids with me (but still keep the 355).

    Addictive you say? Someone needs to do an intervention on me....it's like incurable at this point.

    Congrats on the car!!! Looks awesome, even with an iphone camera!

    I have had mine a 1994 348 spyder for almost a month, and it sits on carpet in the garage under a bright red car cover that says FERRARI. The only problem is that I keep going into the garage and taking off the cover so I can look at it. I waited a long time to get mine and I dont think the thrill is ever going to wear off.
