Thanks.
 
That is exactly the model I was considering changing over to when it all  
comes together.

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?

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
