The guy who had one down the street from me. He had a yellow F car and XJ8 parked in the grass on the side of his house rotting for 8 months, both just got covered in leaves and snow and sat. The F car had flat tires after awhile.

Mine does live in the garage. I don't drive it in the snow because it's not safe. That's what ML's are for.

That is sad, if he wants, he can store the car at my house, I will put it to good use...

Yeah, it wasn't new but it was a very clean 328GTS when he first parked it, bright yellow. The Jag was blue, and he finaly sold it for damn near nothing, it was an 03.

I just don't understand the mentality of letting good cars like that rot. I don't know what happend to the Ferrari it disappeared. I should have knocked on his door and asked if he would sell it.

You should have told him that you would take it off of his hands, if he paid you $500

Well I was thinking $20k-$25k since it needed work. My uncle would have probably bought it for that price, a good deal is a good deal.

They are cars and need to be driven. If you have the antique type insurance though you really can't leave them on the street and be covered.

I dunno.. for $20k you could get a pretty nice one( needs some paint chips touched up though)

Friend of mine has a 328 GTS Targa in Red.. its a concourse winner and he drives it as much as he can.

The only trouble with a cheap ferrari is the service is really expensive. I think there are a fair number of folks though who do most of their own work. Then its probably not too bad but the parts make mercedes parts look inexpensive.

Visiting inside, gettin' some. Man will lose all reason when new sex is involved. In a year he'll have a keyed Ferrari and be tired of that nagging *****, wondering what he saw in her.
