Actually, whoever said Ferraris are cheaper to buy than own is dead right; I like mine but I find it's better to get any repair bill presented while I'm sitting down. And, I have a good outfit to service it who are smart, honest and fair. If they ever closed I'd probably sell the car.
All that said, they have made a lot of progress in recent years at building reliable cars- I think the 355 (still one of my favorites for looks and performance) was the first they built which you could really drive all the time. But it's been a LONG time since they built anything as pretty as a GT40....maybe since the 250 GTO.
