The S2k was getting lonely . . .

I had to pull the motor from the Viper again to rebuild it, so the S2k was getting lonely. My father and I have always wanted one, so here she is

A 1998 355 Spyder

This car is just amazing to drive. It already has a Tubi exhaust, so it also sounds amazing. I've never driven another car that is as effortless as this one.

Nice! I've always wanted one of those, and loved them ever since I was 5.

One of my favorite cars of all time. I LOVE the F355.

Great taste. Congrats on the newly acquired ride.

Is the Ferrari car cover made out of silk and lined with some super exotic, soft layer?

I don't know what it's made out of-but it sure is silky smooth! It's like no other cover I've seen.

It's called NART Blue (North American Racing Team). And of course, it's a six speed-no F1 for us.

Great looking car!

Many Ferraris look better in colors like NART Blue than in red, too.

Congratulations G! Excellent choice, the first F car I ever drove was a 355. Short of a Carrera GT, I don't recall ever hearing a better sounding car. I can't imagine what it sounds like with a Tubi on top of that. Enjoy her in the best of health.

I was going to ask the same thing. Just not asking what he does though.

awesome car. the one thing that would deter me from buying one is the engine out service and the cost of replacement parts.

Unless he got an especially good deal, I'm guessing he paid $66-70k for it.
