Fabryce from GMG gives me a call, and say it will cost $4100 to fix the leaks/parking brake/rear hatch struts on the F355.  OUCH!   I ask him if that includes labor, and he says, "No, that is parts only".  They have to drop the motor, replace the F1 tranny seals and seals on the motor.   Since they are dropping the motor, he suggests that they also do the timing belt, blah blah blah.  ARRRGH!  Labor will be another $4500 or so.  I might have to get financing from Brett to get my damn car outta the shop!  Dammit, it is going to cost the equivalent of two new Tony Krypton chassis to fix it properly.    Or another way to look at it, about 50 sets of shifter kart slicks.  I can't take it anymore.  I tell them to do the service, fix it real good, and then that car is outta my life.  I'm finally going to sell it.  I don't car if it is a cool looking car, and that the exhaust note is even cooler, this is ridiculous.  Messley sent me an article, "Can You Afford to Drive a Ferrari?".  The answer for me is no.  After this major service, it is costing me at least $7 a mile in maintenance costs to drive the car  for the past year.  So a round trip drive from my house to Moran costs about $1050 in maintenance.  I could probably fly back and forth in a helicopter cheaper, or maybe even a Lear Jet.
