    Im only 20.. I'll probably never own a Ferrari, or any exotic for that matter... but I come here to tell you that the 355 (as if you already didn't know...) is the nicest looking Ferrari ever. Better than the 360/430... i'd say the 458 is #2 for me.

    I fell in love seeing this car in person when I was 9.

    I am extremely envious....

    Just because you are 20 doesn't mean you wont own one. Im 27 and i just bought my 1st Ferrari (just happen to be a F355 ;) )

    I know another member that is on here and he bought his at 28. Just work hard and make smart choices.

    Good luck and keep dreaming!!

    Holy ish! I didn't even look at that pic.

    Click my profile. That's my color combo!!!

    Tour de France Bleu with Cuoio leather....

    TdF/Cuoio is one of the best color combos on the 355 :)

    Congrats. Got mine at 27 too, and I'm a hippy-dippy artist, so even a dude working at a gas station can have one someday.

    Here's an old pic of my car that's currently being put back together slowly.

    I see a trend! I bought my first 355 when I was 26, the second when I was 30.

    Don't sell yourself short. These cars aren't too expensive, and you're right, they are the best looking Ferrari ever made.

    Kid, if you're not in a hospital bed breathing your last breath, then you still have a chance at getting your FIRST Ferrari. Do what you gotta do to make all of your dreams and aspirations come to fruition and you will find a Ferrari in your driveway quicker than you can say ENZO!

    YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

    You must be a bright kid, for you knew at 9 years old that the 355 is the best looking Ferrari... EVER!

    I bought my first Ferrari (355) a couple of weeks before my 53rd birthday. If you saved $10 a week with a 7% return over the next 33 years you would have over $67,000, more than I paid for my 355. You are young and have no excuse not to get a Ferrari if that is what you really want.

    Your 20 years old, enjoy your life, don't think that owning a ferrari is everything. That said, it is rewarding to purchase one, and enjoying the experience.

    Don't every give up on your dream of owning one.
    I bought my 355 just one month ago on my 49th birthday.
    As others have said, work hard and make smart choices.
    I could have bought a 430 or 360 but I agree with you, the 355 is the best looking road going Ferrari ever. And I love its smaller dimensions.

    Stick with it!

    Motivation comes in many forms, but do yourself a favor - never, never, I repeat, never be envious.

    One thing that I have learned in life is if you say that you can't do something your right, you never will. I hear people say "I can't, I'll never, that won't happen for me", ect.ect. without really thinking about what they are saying, this may seem silly but people who use these phrases don't usually achieve greatness and great men don't say "I can't". Just something to think about. Now write down and tell yourself your going to own a Ferrari!

    I got my first one when I was 46...and I'm still 46! Good for you young ones! Tell you one thing, I never thought I'd own a Ferrari. 355 is a great way to get into the brotherhood. I'm just afraid that it's going to be a sickness and I'll want a 458 eventually! Ahhhh...what would it be like to own a Ferrari with a warranty! Something goes wrong (and something always will) and bring it to the Ferrari dealer and let them pay for it...I can only dream.
