Goodbye AMG

Well I am sorry to have to say goodbye to you guys, I bought the Ferrari 360 F1 Spider. I will drop in to post some comments since i am a previous AMG owner. (2003 S55, 2007 SL55)
I am still a Benz owner (GL450) so I will be around. I have to admit I love this forum. I was on the Ferrari forum and kind of got turned off on a post where people were downing someone because of their punctuation.
Any ways just thought i'd let all of you guys know I really enjoyed your feedback, even if sometimes I didn't agree. Here is a pic of the official Trade in.

Thanks Absent, You are right, I won't! Me and a buddy with a 355 had a blast today, we hit the highway doing about 145. the sound and the feel is amazing. I missed that from my previous 1999 360 Modena. And SpeedThrills I will always be an AMG lover no matter what other car I drive.

I am in South Easton, but you will probably see me anywhere in Boston. You won't be able to miss the car. One thing is true, the Ferrari stands out in New England more than places like Cali and Florida since most people know it's not a very practical car to own in these areas.

I didn't know if I was breaking any rules by posting pics on here but here are some more pics for you guys. Like I said, I still have my GL450, and I've been thinking about looking into the ML63 amg. Anyways here they are.

I figure out what to do.. All this talk got me fired up about a SL55. I bought one today with 30k today.. 360 + SL55 = Dragcar&indy car

I'm glad you got a 360 spider, it looks great.
Ricambiamerica.com is a great place to buy a Challenge grill that would make your car look awesome!!

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks, and Congrats to you too. THe SL55 is a great car to have in the collection. Enjoy ! just don't get rid of that 360 unless it is for an F430, you will regret it. Oh, and I had the complete front and rear Challenge grill on my previous 360, but I must admit, I have grown to like the all silver look. oops or should I say Argento Nurburgring. I also opted not to put on a Tubi exhaust like my last one had. although it sounds fabulous, It can get a little tiring to the eardrums, caio lol

Do you mind tell us what year and how many miles is on the car? Also where you purchased it and how much?? I am interested because I am in the market and want an idea of what the ball park figure would be....
