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

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Sadly I travel too much to really enjoy a nice car so watches are the next best thing.

The 360 is the best looking Ferrari model IMO. Big congrats.

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!
