Reading the article about the cost of ownership, all I could think was how you could reduce most of the repair costs by a factor of 10 if you did all the labor yourself.
I'll probably hold off on Ferrari ownership until I have a garage with a lift in it. Once I have the ability to do my own engine-out service, I think I'll be all out of excuses not to do it.
I wouldn't sell the Boxster if I bought a Ferrari. I'd have to have something to use to bring home groceries.

TR is one of the Ferrari models requiring engine out freshening although I don't recall the intervals. As for DIY Ferrari repair, with a 500.00 washer tank the parts would still be a kick in the ass.
