Okay, so it's late at night. I can't sleep. Why? I'm anxious. Can't stop thinking. Is this all worth it? So, I will present this query to you all (whoever takes the time to read and respond, that is...) Most of you have at least one Ferrari, whether it's a 308 or a brand new 430, and therefore have experienced some level of prior success---financially, that is. Well, if you care to know, I am 24, never went to college, nor had the money to even think about it, and work constantly. I manage a small company, run an even smaller business of my own, buy and sell anything I can get my hands on, and am now fixing up a foreclosure to flip. All in all, I stay busy about 90-100 hours a week, have some bit of freedom in that no one tells me what to do, but dang, should I have my head checked? I can't even remember the last six years of my life. I am after money harder than anyone I have ever known, and the only real reason I can offer for my irrational state of mind is this: All I want is a nice-sized house and a 360 Modena or even an F355 F1 Spider to just park in the garage and drive every few weeks. I wouldn't even consider spending the $1 mil+ it would take to acquire an Enzo or a McLaren. That seems a little ridiculous to me. Should I be after another model, though, say a 456, or perhaps a 550 Maranello? Is that distantly obtainable $95k pre-owned 355 F1 going to break down on me every 500 miles? I hear about 360's breaking down every now and then. Do the drivers just suck or what? Is it all worth it??? I feel like to me, it doesn't matter whether it is or not, it's the obsession that drives me every day. Were you always passionate about the cars you drove, or did you all just buy them because the money was there? I am very interested to know. If nothing else, you can just point and laugh at the 5-figure guy posting in the big boys' toys room.
