    I live in a small heavily wooded neighborhood in Connecticut that has about 6 homes. The cars the neighbors drive are a combination of Subaru Outbacks, Priuses, a few BMW's and the rest are trucks. I was working on the 348 in the garage all winter so I don't think many on the neighbors saw it. I made a decision a few weeks ago when I needed to get it wash, waxed and registered that I am not going to hide what I worked so hard for. The neighbors can think whatever they want, I really don't care. I just drive it like I would my other cars and I don't make it a point to bring it up in conversation...Although one neighbor seems to bring it up all the time. He is a nice guy and I think he just wants a ride. Due to the income level where I'm at, I don't believe it would be jealousy if there was a negative perception of my toy. It would probably be more of an "Eco" thing, although I will never know because the people here keep to themselves.

    All this reminds me of the old Ricky Nelson song "Garden Party":

    But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well.

    Damn, I thought my "critque" would raise a much larger uproar!?!? Must be the FChat community has caught on to my anarchist ways. I now have to find a new way to stir the "pot" and blacken" the "kettle" in order to insight angst!! Or...............stop responding to threads when under the influence!! The later probably being the most appropriate plan of action...................

    Couldn't agree more - I am totally in love with my 550. It's a stupendous car, and maintenance has been a pleasant surprise too. But it's still a V12 Ferrari, so don't try and run it on the cheap.

    The F550 is in my list as a possibility for the next addition to my garage. Beautiful styling and V12 to boot and the current prices make it a solid bargain. It's only competition for me would be the Aston Martin DB9 which is also down a bit price wise.

    Jesus Kerry! Who pissed in your cereal this morning?.
    I think you need to take a step back and look at YOUR OWN ISSUES. OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE A FEW.

    You are so off the mark with these nasty comments you sound just like the haters out there.

    I'm almost positive that if you met us in person you wouldn't be saying these things.
    WHAT AN ASS.

    Consider this for a moment, if you are capable.
    My house was burglarized two years ago. Fortunately they didn't vandalize the 308 at the time.
    Even though I have an alarm they could still return and do damage to the TR if they felt like it.
    Flaunting the fact that I have a TR just makes me a target for the scumbags driving by. I might as well put my cameras and sound system out front while I'm at it.
    Pathetic? Not hardly. It's called prudence.

    Your thoughts about this are absolutely bizarre.

    Take it easy on Kerry he is just having one of his moments-he is not really that serious. Kerry is a productive member of our TR community, so calling him an idiot is unfair. FWIW I found his comments rather funny, because I know when he gets like this, not to take those type of comments too seriously. I am surprised that you have such thin skin.

    And we'll all tell her you bought us all these cars. we're all your closest friends, going back to grade school.
    because you're so filthy rich and generous, but live pretty low key.
    I'll ask her what she got. By then she'll probably know I'm full of... s**t.
    but I'll be giggling like a kid.

    You guys been to Newman's place??
    It's not the Ferrari that sets her off, it's the fact that he's the first on the block with plumbing.
