Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 550 cost of ownership?

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

Humm, are we assuming here? My old boss, George Hearst Jr.  had a 5,000 acre 
ranch in Ojai too. Plus a modest little 80,000 acre spread near San Simeon, 
overlooking the Pacific. You might have heard if it. ... And believe it or not, 
most of the roads, to and from, were paved. I took my solid rod, roller-bearing 
crank 356 Porsche up there a few times as his guest, and it never saw dirt. 
Hell, I even hear there are a few paved roads here in Baja Arkansaw! Who would 
have 'thunk' it?

Sounds like the original owner beat the crap out of the car without  
any mechanical sensibility.  None of my Ferraris have required  
anything like this kind of attention.

Was the car warmed-up after a cold start?  Probably not, hence oil  
leaks.
Ranch in Ojai?  Hmmmmm...probably drove it off-road without a care in  
the world.

The original owner belongs in a Toyota Avalon, not a Ferrari.

Like youth being wasted on the young, this is money on wasted on the  
rich.  As P.J. O'Rourke wrote:  "I say, eat the rich".
