He can tell you a story or two about "cheap" maintenance (I usually give him a ride for pickup and dropoff and then get the story fresh from the horse's mouth). To add insult to injury, you can get many of the exact same parts with either a Ferrari or Maserati badge, but the "Ferrari" part carries an extra premium (I guess we're used to it as many P-parts also exist from Audi)
But last not least: Don't forget that Ferraris are not meant to be driven daily, P-cars are.

BTW: Mr. Topless: Will I see you in Buttonwillow end of May?

I experienced the same thing when I owned an Alfa. If you bought Agip oil at the Alfa parts window it was $$ . If you bought the same oil at the adjacent Ferrari window, it was $$$. In any event, for the type of driving that I would do with a 360, the costs factors could be greatly mitigated .

I bet the 981 S model would spank the crap out of a 360 modena . I did see a black 360 today and it did looked real bad ass .

I knew a prominent Cardiologist who had a Ferrari, one day when I went to call he had a brand new 911 where his red super-car once sat. He loved the F car but the repairs were fierce, mind you this is a man conservatively making 600K annual in 1993. It's a shorter life than it feels like sometimes, you want a F car on the bucket list go for it Jonny. To me, the spyder is not only fast enough, it requires concentration to keep out of triple digits. I got pulled over as a younger man doing 92, not fun, officers tend to take that as a personal affront. In a Ferrari 92 probably arrives so soon it's ridiculous, you better be a real agent because you are going to need that brass pass. After all you may need to stay away from hookers till things cool off but speeding hasn't been wrecked for the boys yet.
