    Cool Plate Todd!

    Can understand why you only bought 3 tires but did you have the date code checked on the one remaining?
    Over 8 yrs and they need to go.
    Mine have a lot of tread remaining but are over 10 yrs old.

    Sorry that I probably didn’t make it clear. The dealership had put one brand new tire on due to a puncture. The others were like yours looked new but very old. So I told them to just replace the rest so they would all be current.

    I’m good with that! I still don’t think it has sunk in that I’ll actually have a Ferrari in the garage! I’m sure delivery day will be surreal! Excited is an understatement 4 sure.

    Well I bought EURO 2001 Spider at the same time as well. Arrived two weeks ago and it is so much fun. I bought to amuse myself daily while 488 spider went away and F8 is coming. Amazing deals for F1, spider necessary in Florida until F8 spider comes in.

    I can only imagine what the manual is like if the F1 is this much fun.

    Try Top Speed website for the F1 model. Looks similar to yours

    https://topspeedauto.com/ferrari-360-modena-coupe-spider-99-05-full-titanium-exhaust/

    These cars are a blast to drive. So go kart like and more raw than the newer Fcars.

    It’s amazing even in Argento the looks and comments for this 20 year old car are non stop.



    At detailer to have wheels changed to Grigio corsa and old PPF removed and reinstalled.

    Beautiful car! Jealous of the F8! I bet it will feel like a spaceship compared to the 360! Lol

    The wait must be driving you crazy. But you did the right thing getting all that taken care-of before delivery. As to that, be sure they send it in an enclosed trailer, using a reputable transport company that is used to handling exotics. Simple things like being able to start the car, or winch it onto the trailer using the tow hook instead of the control arms...
    Congrats on getting a gated. You will love it.

    Thank you. Looks like ours are pretty similar! I was lucky enough to become friends with a transporter out of Vegas who takes good care of me! Hopefully he can grab it next week and bring her home. It’s getting the front end done in PPF Monday and should be all done then!

    Consider PPF on the lower rocker panels, too. The areas around the lower cooling ducts (just below and to the rear of the doors) get beat up from road debris thrown from the front tires.

    My car came with factory PPF on the front of the car and leading edges of those ducts. I replaced the edges, but dread removing it from the nose, as I’m sure it will then need a respray.

    I already had them do the entire rockers because the factory stuff looked very yellow around the vent. I guess the front was done by the factory as well as it is yellowing and starting to pull away at some of the edges. I know PPF has gotten way better over the years so I figured I might as well get it fixed will they were at it. I know it would drive me crazy otherwise. LOL

    Not enjoying it at all as the dang car is still in California! Lol. Almost done with everything and should be picked up next Wednesday to come home!! After the sound system was installed decided to go ahead and have the entire front redone in new PPF as the factor stuff was yellowing at the edges and peeling back. Fingers crossed next weekend!

    Looks like it was a busy summer for 360 Spiders, I didn't want to wait for the transport co. and drove from LA to San Francisco to pick up mine, then drove 435 miles back on an untested car that was bought sight unseen, best drive I can ever remember, I thought it was crazy to spend that kind of money and to not look at a car in person, but it appears there is a group of "Crazy's" on this thread;)

    I did the reverse, getting mine in LA (years back) and driving up to the San Francisco Bay Area! Silver cars swapping places!

    Nice color as well! I love the look of your seats. Is yours and F1 or manual? I to have not seen or driven my car. In fact I'm pretty sure I have never seen a 360 in person at all. LOL. Should make for an interesting delivery!

    Needless to say there aren't many Ferraris in rural Arkansas.! I would wonder just how many are in the entire state?? She should stick out like a sore thumb in my town that's for sure. My old Porsche Turbo might a well have been a spaceship. LOL
