    Well I have to say goodbye to my baby. She will be missed....

    I'm selling my 308 after having lived my Ferrari dream for a little while. I'm heading once again overseas (Kosovo for a couple years) and just don't have the time to drive her. So hopefully the next person to own her will appreciate her a little more than I can. I probably will be checking out the OT section from time to time but I will soon no longer be able to call myself an owner :( but who knows, maybe someday in the future I'll try it again but it sure was fun while it lasted.

    Take care everyone and be safe out there!!

    Sad to hear, if I could I would buy that car in a heartbeat. Hopefully the next owner is a responsible, but still fun driver.

    It's too bad you have to get rid of her. She's beautiful.
    Even though the ownership of the car will soon leave you, you will always keep the memories and in some way she will always be with you.

    Jesse... Sorry you have to sell your Ferrari... What are you going to Kosovo for...? Hopefully you'll be able to get another one some time soon... But not owning is no reason to leave FerrariChat... Be sure to keep coming back regularly...

    Hi Jessie.
    Sorry to hear that.
    Just a qusetion, a silly one probably. Why do not you take it? Put it in storage for a couple of years and, when you are back, drive it again. I did just that with my 328. I moved to the Philippines and left the car in Italy. She is now waiting me to be back...
    Ciao
    Eugenio

    Eugenio, is there someone in Italy driving the car for you, as a maintenance precaution...?

    Carbon, you will not believe this...
    I had to litterally beg several people (my brothers, my in law etc.) before finding a trusted friend who every two weeks takes the car out for a short spin.
    If only anyone asked me something similar, I would have grabbed it immediately :)
    Ciao

    If it doesn't sell, bring her to Muncie and I will garage the car and have my wife or I drive it for you on occasion. Maybe she will fall in love with it and buy it from you!

    Hello from Germany! Had an overnight here in Stuttgart and this may be my last chance depending on whether or not I can access Ferrarichat from an Army system..may be blocked. Anyways, I just bought a new house (being built) in the States and am planning on working in Kosovo until it's payed off (less than 2 years). So I'll have no time nor money until I get back :( I just hope someone else decides to buy her instead of sitting around wastefully. So storage here or anywhere for that matter is not an option at this time.

    Until I return, take care all!

    Thanks for the offer. It's actually parked at my parents garage in Daleville right outside Muncie. Is that your Boxer I see around town sometimes? I usually drive thru campus around the Village area. Take care.

    Yup, that's me. You take care too. Tell your Dad or Mom to take her out for exercise every now and then (1x per month). Jim
