My quick Ferrari update:
Hi all, after about 8 months of ownership, I am still amazed with this car, a 2000 Ferrari 360 Modena. I got it in the beginning of the year, on probably the coldest day in the northeast, but it was well worth the wait. I drive it as much as I can without making it a daily driver. The fit, feel and the sound, ohh the sound, is fen nominal, the performance as well. It's not the fastest car I had, but it's up there. Great acceleration, breaking and handling, it's got great grip. diving into a corner while downshifting and the accelerating out of it is truly a great drivers experience, The one complaint I have is I can't believe how hard it is to capture the actual color of this car in a picture, (Rosso Fiorano), but I think of all the pics I took, the first one is probably the closest to what it actually looks like out in the sun, and the second one how it looks inside........man I love this car, especially it's 6 speed manual......and the sound....and the look.....and the fine leather.....and performance.....and the ....well you get it, lol!

I think you should drive it into the ground (edit:I mean drive it until you wear it out). the 360s are great cars and i don't think they will ever become collectible due to the number of cars that were produced. I don't think they will age as well as the charger you have parked next to it.
Mike Sheehan has written alot about this and I tend to agree with him. 360 is an honest, clean sports car. congrats. |

The 360 is a classic. Buddy of mine has one in LA. It's a fine ship for sure

Both of your cars are nice (garage too ). Growing up my father had a '72 Charger. Not worked like yours but heavily optioned from the factory with the go fast goodies.

Fine leather and handling does it for me. Looks are a super bonus. Never hurts to have a totally chick magnet-looking car.
Hey, the engine compartment on the Dodge looks like you'd win contests with it! |
