    I am glad to be a member on the forum. I have been reading through some of the threads the past couple days, and have really enjoyed the site.

    I don't currently own a Ferrari. I have a 2018 Civic Type R. I would like to learn more about Ferraris and owning one. I am really interested in the F355. This would be my first Ferrari. I'm not looking to purchase immediately, I just want to do some homework.

    So far what I've learned is to budget about $5,000 a year for maintenance for one.

    Its great to be here. I look forward to meeting everyone.

    Welcome! There's a wealth of info in the 348/355 section. It was a tremendous help and influence when I became an owner about 6 months ago. If the F355 has your heart, then learn as much as you can about everything that goes right/goes wrong/you need to know about when making your purchase. Read all the forums on all the other models too. There's an amazing amount of knowledge here.

    The #1 thing I learned: Learn as much as you can, and make an informed purchase. It's never been so important as it is here. The cheapest Ferrari is often the most expensive one...it's not a lie.

    I bought a car with a strange clutch noise, and knew it going in. I DIY'd the service on the flywheel and clutch, and it's been great so far.

    Thanks for the info man. The quote about the cheapest one can be the most expensive makes a lot on sense.
