    Unless it's stop and go traffic and your clutch is taking a beating, I don't see anything wrong with it! I mean, come on, it's not every day people get to see a real, live Ferrari. It's going to draw some attention. I know I'd make a big deal of it.

    Yes or when you have to use your fire extinguisher or when you are pulled over beside the road waiting for either a tow truck or your friend to pick you up.

    (1) Service intervals and part(s) cost.

    (2) Worrying about it getting damaged.

    Getting Flashed by some young co-ed standing on the side of the road just there to ogle.
    I mean, really, does one HAVE to put up with that sort of offensive behaviour?

    Who wants to see a young, healthy woman with firm, round. . .?mmmmm

    Wiping the drool and ( . ) marks off of her everytime I park her in public.

    P.S. for those that have never noticed ( . ) is the mark people leave when they press their cupped hands and nose against the window - trying to get a better look at the interior.

    .......trying to change lanes to pass a slower car in front of me with that car to my left who's been there for miles just wanting to look. I should stay in the left lane at all times, but here in New Jersey you can get a ticket for that. The extreme left lane is a passing lane only.

    And Replacing Blinker Fluid when it gets low... Really a pain :) :) :)

    I hated it so much - I bought a Lambo instead - they have blinkers that don't need refilling - kind of like chains instead of belts... (well pre-430 anyway)... :)

    Worst thing about owning a ferrari is matching $$ for $$ to my wifes habits on what I spend on the car.

    PS. I am having a shoe sale 40% of all items we have over 300 pairs in stock, large selection of size 7.

    Your Ferrari die in the middle of the traffic jam. and you have to get out and push the car to the side while your wife steer it. Everyone else looking and feel sorry for you. trust me this happens to every owner if you own long it enough.
