My 'need for speed' would be a BMW - one day! (I know, it's not the same)

yup its a 1999 ferrari F355 GTS..
..getting into one is not that costly, around 25 to 35k from the 150k+ price tag new. fixing them is very expensive if you dont know how to work on them. every 5000 miles the cam belts need changed. thats an engine out job that cost around 8k. While your inside the engine box you need to replace the clutch too as they only get around 3000 miles before they go crash. thats another 4500 bucks. Brake pads only cost about 1000 bucks after you spend the 1st 1500 flushing the system. The exhaust manifolds are well known to develop hairline fractures in them from the intense heat and thats another 10k grand to replace the hand molded sand cast magnesium parts. It goes on and on. If you drive them you will pay for it somehow someway. Its a missile with a human warhead in the drivers seat.

Thats why these cars have very few miles on them as most give up trying to keep them up and sell them. Real Ferrari owners just enjoy the ride and spend the money. My buddy has had enough after he only put 4000 miles into this one and spent 16k on service in 2 years.
