Dear Ferraristi, I sooo appreciate the responces. What a wealth of information from all you fellow owners. A couple of points, -The grass is a little high as there is NOOO snow to stop it growing -The milage/resale value comment was in reference to my 308 not a 348-355 vs TR issue. -I in no way put down the 348. I am actually considering a 348 GTB. If you notice my picture, bald head and Florida/Georgia sun do not mix. I will be buying for sure in June as my registration/tag ad velourem tax expires in July ( My "B" month ) I will keep everyone posted. ( anyone interested in a 308?
