    Many great expressions here that I resonate with and would only add two *surprises* for me: how GOOD it feels to say "My Ferrari," but at the same time, the attention it draws does NOT make me feel inflated. Ferrari is one fine lover, and that can actually be humbling.

    I think of a word subsitution to Jimi Hendrix's "Red House:" [...she left me] "but it's okay, I still got my Ferrari..."

    In my 360's it was the steering and body control.

    I can't begin to imagine what any of you owners go through when you have a Ferrari at your disposable any time you want! It must be just about the best thing haha. You say it's not, I know, but I'm only 17, I have to dream for now...:D

    yes, the sight, smell and sound. and also, looking at my car from the front, it doesnt have a goofy 'face' like other cars. you know, some cars, the headlights look like eyes, the grill looks like a dumb smile, the liscence plate looks like a buck tooth etc etc. it is just plain sleek................
