Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC: Camaro SS post mortem

[Brian E. Buxton (BrianBuxton]

Tom,
True, but anything you own is going to run you an average of $1,000 a 
year when it is all said and done.  Tires, brakes, oil changes, etc. all 
factor into the average.  So you spend $1,000 a year on a Camaro/M3/944 
Porsche, etc. or $5K all at once every 6 years on the Ferrari?  And why 
not do a majority of the work yourself?  If you have the free time to 
look for something as much as you do you can certainly get into 
maintenance on your own.  Most cars you are looking at (M3's, Porsche 
944's or 928's, Miatas, Camaros, etc.) are 10+ years old and are going 
to cost money to maintain.  If you want a car with minimal maintenance 
costs buy something brand new.  Just trying to help.  I know you are a 
car guy and I hate to watch you chase your tail (you'll never catch it).
