Anniversary Gift From My Wife!
This year my wife gave me time in a Ferrari 360 at the NH Motor Speed Way on an AutoCross event. She took a couple photos, I hope you enjoy. I brought my Sub as always.

It was very cool. I enjoyed every second of it. I would recommend this experience to anyone that wants to get it in one.

Love it! Someday I want to get a used 360 or 430. You want to talk about service costs?! Luckily Dave Helms is an awesome independent Ferrari mechanic in Boulder otherwise I would never even contemplate such a purchase.

Oh and happy anniversary!!

I've driven both and I was surprised how much better on track the 430 was. If I wasn't tracking it I'd save the $$$ and go with the 360. I have very limited experience with the true exotics though. I'm a guy that loves to mod my cars and it's really very rarely done with F cars. I'd love to have a Ferrari one day but as you stated the service is a huge issue for me. I'm poor so I'm stuck with a SCed Vette.

OP congrats as that's an awesome gift. I love driving the exotics. Not as fast usually as some of the cars I get to track but SO much more elegant. I mean what else needs to be said but it's a Ferrari.

Ahh phewy. That yellow tuna can can't hold nearly as many groceries as my Caravan...and then where the hell would you go to fix the weekly recalls?

Just kidding of course. Wow, happy anniversary! I love how she got the Rolex shot. Looks like she knows you well. GREAT gift. Best to you both.

Great present and great fun.
Wiping the grin off your face will take some time.
