    I'm sure there are lot of F car enthusiasts here that dont actually have Ferrari.. I am one of them.. I have been a enthusiast since can't remember when. Got my dream cars of MK2 MR2, LS1 Trans Am and an NSX.. but still, I haven't fullfilled the dream of a Ferrari. I'm 29 now and hoping to get a 360M or the likes within 3 yrs. Just checking to see if this board has more F car owners or F car droolers? :p

    I still don't, had my chance 2 years ago but saved my money instead. I'll have my chance again, hopefully soon. These Dallas guys have all the fun!

    Getting closer. When I got into having an extra fun car a few years ago I have gone from S2000 to Porsche Boxster S to M3 to Maserati Spyder, Next up maybe 360

    I still don't have one. Missed my chance to get a Daytona before the frantic '80s - my wife wouldn't let me pull the trigger. I have since traded wives and am nearly back to the point of seriously looking again.

    I don't. Very nearly ordered an F360 a few months ago but was taken aback by dealership's snotty attitude and this "game" of having no cars at list (even for ordering- I was willing to wait) but plenty way over list if you really want one. Almost bought a 348 some years ago but decided against it at last minute. Currently own a Porsche 993 (used only for DEs) and a few BMWs. Considering a Lotus Elise to replace one of the BMWs and may consider a used 360 in time. But a new GT3 (in 997 guise) is more likely.

    Always wanted to own a 275 Spyder or 250 Lusso but can't afford them and probably never will be able to.

    My father was --> <--(this close) to buying a 275 GTB4 in 1971 for 11K and didn't.

    He STILL looks back on that one with regret!

    per the inflation calculator that $11K would be equal to $49,808 today which is alot less than a 275 goes for. Oops!

    This is actually quite surprising given your knowledge (regardless of your profession), and I didn't even notice lack of an Fcar in the profile!

    Me personally? Nah. Give me a few more years. I'll get there eventually, but have a few more toys I would like to get first.

    No Ferrari for me. Yet.

    One day, though... i've got my heart set on a black on black NNO... i suppose if i settle for anything less, that's what i'll get... But the NNO is what i really want, so i'll "settle" for that...

    You'll know when i've bought it; my post count will stop dead in its tracks. :)

    No F car for me either, but I worked hard to buy my dream car (within affordability) last year @ age 19, a 2002 BMW 325i PP/SP.

    None.

    In fact, I've given up on the idea.

    Not me, not yet. Had a NSX, moved on to a 993tt after passing on a few 355's. 360's if more than likley, however its no big deal....all in time.

    Just an enthusiast here.........owned 2 (e36) m3's, boxster, 91 911 c4, 2001 996, and currently my second clk-430.

    I'm looking to pick up an "exotic" 3rd car within the year. These guys here have more knowledge than anywhere else! I like to get opinions from all the owners who might have had 1 or 2 cars and can compare them to other cars from experience not opinion.

    I've met a ton of people and even gotten the chance to drive 2 348's (one was a challenge!). On top of that the people on here are friendly and helpful. Other car forums I'm on are totally different!

    No F-car for me. But reading and learning or "lurking" if you will, has made the journey a fun one. The anticipation is painful however... Someday.
