    I have owned F355.com for about 6 years. I knew I would own a 355 one day. That day came and passed and so its time for me to cut lose of the website.

    Let's have some fun. What would you give for F355.com and what would you do with it?

    Maybe you have something weird to trade for the domain?

    Maybe you would like to donate something to a charity in trade for the domain?

    Maybe you would like me to just give it to you for free? So why should I do that? Make a convincing argument and it might just be yours!

    Maybe you are a car dealers and need it for your business? So what car can you make me a deal on in trade for the domain?

    Or maybe you would like to just pay some cash; so what's it worth to you?

    Before you begin replying, you need to know that 4-letter domains ending with DOT COM are very hard to get when they really mean something. I've sold domains for as much as $20,000 in the past. I'm not looking for big bucks, so let's have some fun!

    Correct me if I'm wrong but Ferrari will sue if you use it for anything that may be profitable I.E. car dealership, part shop, etc.

    Hmmm not all 355s are F355s.... not sure

    I know there is a help site for 348s. I guess we could build a site to support the 355 with user submissions.

    I host about 60 domains..... I could another.

    Think so, we own Porscheforums.com and they sent us a letter threatening to sue if we ever used it for anything profitable. Given that Ferrari is well known for always trying to sue anyone that uses their name for anything, I'd be suprised if they let it slip.

    Many, but the most popular one's to date have been z06vette.com, nsxsc.com, jeepoutfittters.com, wholesaletraders.com.

    I have many good domains and have good intentions to do something with them; but never enough time. :)

    I would make it into a 355 registry. Mostly for challenge cars and such, but also for fiorano cars (my favorite:) )

    OHHH... you're THAT bill?? i was nicholas421 on your site... the guy who won the brake pad raffle. it was a great site; it came apart after you sold it.

    by the way, i sent you an offer for f355.com over a year ago but never got a response. i want to do a faqs page specifically for the 355 similar to that of nsxprime.
