I've only got 4 of them. I feel like I need to go out and better my position. Second job here I come.
Yep. I actually really enjoy driving the pickup, loved driving the jeeps too, just a different feel to them.
So I stumbled onto this story about a guy buying a salvaged F 360 in my boredom the other day. I get it, he thought he was stealing this one but what he actually got was a nightmare of a Ferrari. Watching the entire series had me wondering why anyone would buy a used Italian car. Look up "my Ferrari cost me everything" on youtube. Riding high in a Chevy Silverado since 99
There's certainly no rational reason to buy one but I bought mine because it's ridiculous fun. That's it. I joke about the build quality but the engine is a jewel. 8500rpm redline but it pulls (gently) from idle, revs like they forgot the flywheel, and my exhaust sounds insane. 400hp/3.6l in 1999 was legit and they run to 100k miles if you take care of them. I sent a C6 Z06-owning buddy out in it one day. His Corvette was a beast and objectively better in every single measurable way. He came back just lit up. "JFC, that thing is awesome". I'm told others buy them because they have little pee pees. Those guys buy new ones though. I couldn't find the series but YT is filled with breathless videos like that. Yeah, buying poorly and not knowing which end of a wrench is which can cost but think of the sweet, sweet YT income rewarding your poor decisions! OTOH, there's a guy in the UK, 'Ratarossa', who has made a YT career out of messing with various sad Ferraris and does a pretty good job of getting by w/o spending lots of cash. Personally, last year I probably could have sold mine and come out even on every dollar I ever spent after 13 years of ownership. Free Ferrari!
I put a Capristo in my Stradale and perm disabled that valve to bypass the cat. JEEZUS that thing sounded amazing at red line!
I remember thinking when I first read that a few years ago, man the Germans sure know how to screw us.
But this F 360 must have been built on Friday and every person who drove it must have neglected the routine maintenance. Once he put it back together with new cam belts it started spewing oil from the rear main Then he overheated it due to a stuck thermostat. I mean c'mon...the thing was green but the thing must have lemon yellow under that F paint.
