Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferrari Maintenance [Digest, Vol 35, Issue 18

A V12 400i has plenty of room for a service dog.  Finding a good one  
without deferred maintenance issue is the challenge.

No, its  not really one of those "mine is bigger than yours"   competitions.

My biggest issue with the 348 is that there isn't enough  room for my  
service dog to travel with us, which means if we want to  take the Ferrari  
anywhere I have to trailer it behind the Excursion.  Other than that I love 
the  
car, and realistically, maintenance on  it, according to the mfr. specs. 
should 
(not is, only should) be less  expensive. And, of course I am an open top 
car  individual.

It  is just that I'm not really into the Mondial, and most of the Ferraris  
 
that I know of that will accommodate Blackhawk and that I like are 12  cyl. 
 
cars. I don't know if I will ever sell the 348 as it is a lot  of fun, just 
 
wish I could take it more places and I might add an  Aston Martin to the 
crew 
rather than let go of the 348.

My big  problem is that when the economy is down and these car prices are   
more reasonable, investments are down as well so the resources available  
for  
acquisition suffer as well.

Hey Dr.  Steve: Move 'up' to a 12 cyl.? LMFAO! It  sounds as if Capt'n 
cLyDe 
has you  brainwashed enough to think that  if you bought a 6 cyl. Dino 246, 
it would be  a 'downward' move from  your 8 cyl. 348. Am I right?

6, 8, 12. What's  the difference? The  last time that I looked, they're ALL 
Ferraris. Please  correct me if  I'm in error.

Up, down or sideways, they're all the same  to me.  The important thing is 
to possess and drive the car that I have  lusted  for, for over a half 
century. When I'm driving it to my  limits, I could  give a flying f**k how 
many 
cylinders it has. It is  just pure joy for  me to be able to test my 
abilities 
and feel and  hear what Enzo gave the  world.

I think those who are wrapped up  in the number of cylinders  their car has 
are the same kind of people  who wear those wristwatches  with the big 
faces. 
And you know what  they say about those people. "The bigger  the watch (or 
the number of  cylinders) the smaller the schong."

Are you  listening,  cLyDe?

Yer pal, Shitbox Bubba

Clyde:  
Now being blessed  [cursed?] with the ownership of one, a '95 348 Spyder,  
which being  the latest version of same, I'm curious as to why you have 
reached   this conclusion, and what to look out for in owning this car 
[leaving  
it 
in the  ghetto with the keys in it is not an option so please  just omit 
same 
and give me  some practical advice].

Right now that means a timing belt, and any parts that are worn enough  
that 
they probably won't last until the next 5yr/40k mi.  service to save on 
the 
labor  of removing the engine etc. twice.  It also means locating a good 
independent to  do the work in  Nashville or Louisville, or a two car round 
trip 
to Atlanta to   FOA for this service to be accomplished. Not being lazy, 
just not  being  physically up to the task myself right now and probably 
for  the 
foreseeable  future.

I'd like to keep it around, at  least for a while, until I can move on up  
(?) to a 12 cyl. one with  a back seat and AC for Blackhawk. That is the 
only  
downside for  my ownership right now and it is a Spyder problem, not a 348 
issue.   We don't travel much without him and I haven't convinced Audrey 
that  
the front  trunk was kind of first class seating for her so she won't  let 
me 
pull the right  side out for him to ride in.

Regards,

Dr. Steve
