1996 Ferrari 355 on 2040-cars
Arvada, Colorado, United States
If you have any questions feel free to email me at: hollishansard@juno.com . Ferrari F355 Spider, 1996, original owner, 7001 miles.
I have either owned or driven many more contemporary 8 cylinder Ferraris, the F355 is still the purest
of the breed. It’s the last of the cars that was designed around the engine, the way Enzo intended rather than
around the driver (and no, it won’t carry a golf bag). The engine of the F355 is by far the best sounding of the
8 cylinder cars. With its lower displacement, high revving engine, it’s the one that has that primal shriek most
reminiscent of a Formula 1 car of its era.
This car is a manual 6-speed version. “Classic” Ferraris should not have paddle shifters, they have a slotted
aluminum shift gate that clanks when you change gears. That sound is half of the fun of driving a Ferrari. The
leather is as clean, supple and new smelling as it was the day it left the dealership. Every time I get into this
car I still get that “it’s my first drive” feel, most of that due to the familiar aroma in the cockpit. The
nose has a few small chips in the gel coat, otherwise the paint is flawless. All books, manuals, tools and
purchase papers are included in the sale.
This is a low mileage example, but the car has never been a trailer queen or garage fixture. It gets out 1-2 times
per month, at least around the neighborhood weather permitting, and for other events when they are appropriate.
Recent maintenance includes the 15k major belt service less than 500 miles ago. The Ron Tonkin Service department
in Portland Oregon (America’s oldest Ferrari dealer) mentioned that this was the nicest 355 they could remember
having serviced on. Except for the occasional warning light, this car has performed flawlessly and has been
essentially trouble free.

Ferrari gives employees record $5,600 bonus on strong year
Thu, 10 Apr 2014Ferrari has got to be a great place to work. In fact, it's named as one of the best places to work in Europe year after year. Add to that the pride of making some of the coolest cars in the business, running one of the winningest teams in all of motorsports (even if the Scuderia isn't doing so well thus far this season) and all around standing for the best Italy has to offer, and you've got the makings of a dream job. And it just got a bit sweeter.
That's because Ferrari has just awarded each and every one of its employees a bonus of 4,096 euros - the most the company has ever paid. That's equivalent to over $5,600 at today's exchange rates, and represents a whopping 20 percent of the annual salary for a recently hired young employee. Following two advances of 1,000 euros each, that means employees will find an extra 2,096 euros in their pay checks this month, which may not be enough to buy a new California T or 458 Speciale, but should finance a nice shopping spree of t-shirts and paperweights at the Ferrari Store or a family vacation to Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi.
The bonuses are part of a deal signed with the union in 2012, but are enabled by record profits reported by the company over the last couple of years. After 2012 emerged as Ferrari's most profitable fiscal year, it moved to reduce production, thereby increasing the value of each new car it sells to drive profits up even higher. Nice work, in short, if you can get it.
Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]
Tue, 19 Mar 2013This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
Ferrari recalls 458 Italia because its trunk is a dangerous place to stow kids
Tue, 23 Sep 2014Ferrari is recalling 3,000 458 Italia and Spider models and, believe it or not, it's not because they may catch fire. Nope, instead, the issue focuses on anyone that's unfortunate enough to become trapped in the Ferrari's perilously small frunk (front-mounted trunk).
Apparently, should someone find themselves trapped in the car's nose, the interior release handle only lets loose one of frunk's latches. That means that while anyone held captive by the V8-powered supercar won't be in danger of suffocating and will still be able to call for help, the cars are still ultimately in violation of federal safety mandates.
According to Uncle Sam, should someone become trapped in a trunk, like a child, they must be able to open the trunk from the inside and escape. That can't happen in the 458.
