    My baby finally arrived! 1995 F355 Spider, Nero on Tan with 37k miles, 6 speed, Capristo Stage 2 or 3 exhaust(any way to tell? It's loud and simply awesome), and hi flow cats. Overall condition is driver quality with some rock chips, a little wear on drivers seat, vents need sticky fix but mechanically very solid. I spoke with the Ferrari shop that maintained the car from 2011 and it has been well cared for but driven only 1700 miles since the start of '11. Major was done in early '12 so I'll need to visit that in a year or two but overall I'm thrilled! No warning lights, power top actually works and the driving experience is just incredible. I see why you guys keep these cars, I've never experienced anything like it. I look forward to learning all the ins and outs of the car and am excited to get that last mess behind me and start my Ferrari experience :) here are some pics:

    SoCal... Very vague ad that most would overlook but I did a ton of research on the car, previous owner and shop that did the work for the last 5 years so I felt comfortable flying out to see it in person :)

    And thanks!!

    very nice congrats.
    always loved Black/tan on the 355.

    indeed. those 19s match car well.
    I don't know the make but I've seen them on several 355's here.

    and a local in my area has them on his 348.
    completely changes look on the 348.

    may want to look into lowering rear suspension, seems very high.

    enjoy all the best.

    That's a gorgous example! So glad it all worked out for you. The black / tan is a stunning combination. If you get out this way I'd like to see it. Cheers

    Beautiful car; recognize that it's normal to experience the urge of opening the garage door just to look at her while she is parked. :)

    Congrats on the car- looks great! Normally I prefer stock rims on Ferraris, but those wheels look great, and I'm a sucker for deep dish rims- those rears look great :)

    These guys came highly recommended when I needed a PPI on my 355 which I purchased in CA last winter and had shipped to NJ. Michael seemed so trustworthy and well-versed in ferraris that I negotiated with the dealer to have the items addressed, and since the car was already at the shop had Michael go ahead and fix them before the car shipped out to me in NJ. I then had my mechanic do some other things in the spring once the salt was off the roads.. I was impressed with Michael- your car was in good hands with them!
