drove an Ferrari 550 Maranello
an old-friend of my father was visiting my father
I went to my dad without knowing he was there, so I parked my car... and I saw the Ferrari, and damn that thing is HOT !
So I went inside, we talked a little while, and I asked him very nicelly that I could take a small drive around the block.
He said: sure, but be back before 18:00pm (it was 15:00)... so I drove to the freeway only in second gear !

I finally arived on the freeway, I nailed it to the floor, and damn that thing's fast... that sounds is just awesome !!
You even get the feeling if you go the 4'th gear that you have wheel-spin... incredible...
I just love that car !!

A red F355 spider always has, and always will be my favorite car of all time!!!

the sound, the looks, the power, its just a perfect combination IMO!!

I don't care what I do, but I WILL get my hands on one, one day. Its sort of one of my goals in life

BTW TiemenT, what do you mean by "costs are very high" ?
