Up late on a Thursday
I like to stay up late Thursdays. House is quiet, wife and kids asleep. Glass of wine.
I usually end up on Pistonheads looking at the classifieds. I swear, if it wasnt for school fees I would add a 355 to the garage. I usually find I have a passionate desire for a car. I wanted an M3, I wanted a JCW. I want a 355, I want a Peugeot 205Gti 1.9 (had one when I was 19) and I want a Ford Escort RS2000 and a Mercedes 300SL Gullwing. The question is, do Children really need that much education?

I too like the look of the 355 and really like the sound, but unfortunately the maintenance costs are killer. $10k for a major service is pretty typical and that is just too much for a car that is worth less than $50k. 360s are not that much more money now and maintenance costs are less than half compared to the 355. They are more reliable and just a better all-around car. If you're set on a Ferrari I'd recommend waiting until a 360 or even a 430 falls within your toy budget.

Yes they do. It's a car who cares.
Education is priceless! Respect comes hand in hand w/t education. If a person isn't educated why respect them?

eh, you should put the needs of the family above your own. But that's just me... don't get me wrong, you should get things for yourself if you aren't compromising other important goals.
