Default I really miss my car!

So this year I decided to put the 355 in storage away from the convenience of my garage. I have a friend who owns a warehouse where he keeps a few other cars, and I locked the 355 away there in late November.

In the past three months since, we've had some incredible weather. All the while, my car sits unused. This is killing me!

I want to take it out, but I know that as soon as I do, snow and salt will follow and I will be unable to get her back to storage.

I was planning on shipping her to Competizione in late March for major surgery, but now, I don't think I can wait that long. I think I'm gonna send he in in a few weeks, that way we can reconnect should winter end early.

Anyone else have a similar situation? I can tell you one thing, this makes me sure that I don't ever want to not own a Ferrari!

Battery unplugged, over inflated tires, stabil in the tank.

Plus, I think there are about 6 cars lined up behind her.

IMO - it's worse to store a car no matter what the process vs drive it when the weather breaks ... especially a Ferrari.

I know how you feel - hang in there. I put my TR and F355 in storage and skipped country. I definitely miss them and can't wait to get back to the US to give them a proper thrashing.

BTW, the person storing them for me takes them out for exercise every 2-3 weeks.
