Speed, force, high performance, style and luxury are all the things you dream of in a car. In fact, that is exactly what comes to mind when you think about a Ferrari. One of the greatest models created by Ferrari is the F355. The sound this car makes is incredible, that makes you fall deeply in love with. No other model in the Ferrari line can make such an awesome sound when driving, like the F355. But of course this comes with a heavy price. The maintenance of this vehicle can run from 5,000 to $8,500.00 for a 15,000-mile service, compare to $329.00 on a 2004 C5 corvette per corvetteactioncenter.com. Now imagine you owning a F355, what would you do? What kind of people do you think it will attract? Will you keep the car for a long time?
If I owned a F355, I would probably sleep in it on the first day of purchase. I’m sure it would not be the most comfortable place to sleep in, but it would give me such a satisfaction to know I actually own a Ferrari. Plus, I would not want to step out of the car for one moment for at least the first couple of days. It would be my special place to go to when I’m having a bad day. In addition, I would probably take it to the racetracks, or the desert just to drive it as fast as I can, and to hear the sound of the engine. But my ultimate goal would be to out run a police officer minus being on the ten o’clock news being chased by a gang of police officers. Owning a F355 would be the best toy ever. It would be the ultimate swag-up, in other words, a rank in the class status. How many people you know can actually say they own a F355? That’s right, only those with super swag.
The F355 is one of those cars you cannot help to look because of its beautiful body and style. It is super easy to spot because it is rare to see one on the road. Therefore, due to it uniqueness, slenderness and extra ordinariness, it is quite easy to catch everyone’s attention. Most people who probable own a F355 most likely find themselves making small talks with individual they barely know about their vehicle, and mostly been asked if they can test drive or borrow their car by someone they know. This vehicle is one of those vehicles that attract everyone one because is irritable and unique.
Even though the F355 is unique, beautiful and everything you wish in a car, I would not keep the car for a long time because with a salary of $81,867.00 I would not be able to afford the basic maintenance of the car, let alone pay for major damage. Secondly parking at a rural area is not a safe place to park. People tend to be very careless when opening their car doors. I have couple of scratches and pumps on my Lexus from careless individuals. I could not bare to see scratches and bumps on my F355. Thirdly, I have no garage to place my F355. It would be unacceptable to have such a unique and rare car parked on the street. Finally, even though I know Ferraris can be come collectables, I like new model cars.
The F355 is one of man’s best creations with an extraordinary sound, speed and body. This high-performance car has everyone turning his neck just to get a glance, and makes you want to take it for a ride on the racetracks. However, this beautiful toy does come with a heavy price in maintains that not anyone can afford.
