Ferrari Mailing List: Re: costs of ownership

[Jim and Cheryl Brown (barchetta]

I wouldn't roll around with curb rash on my Ferrari rims either.... then 
again.... I wouldn't have had that issue in the first place. I would drive the 
hell out of it warranty or not. You can't let them sit.

      Don't forget the money you could make "touching up" wheels!  Looking at 
it closer though, probably most of that bill are for the cost of the tires.

  To me, if you get an unlimited mileage warranty, I would be driving the 
boogers out of it...

  I am clearly in the wrong line of work with a charge like that. Now do the 
belts get changed on a 550 with a 15K service like most everything else?
