You don't need to "continually visualize" something and put reminders and pictures everywhere in your life to be able to achieve something. It's an out of the box concept for sure that some people "claim" works. Personally I don't need a picture to remind me what I want, I don't need to wake up every morning and tell myself what I want, I simply just know.

    Lots of weird mystical stories in the book...bunch of BS if you ask me.

    But anyway OP that is one amazing car, hopefully you didn't finance the thing I would be very impressed. Nothing better then achieveing a dream.
    Good job on your achievement, such a beautiful car!

    As to "the secret", the book and the documentuary are just quick takes on the philosophies based on heremetic principlces that take a lifelong commitment to interpriet, comprehend, digest and then adopt.
    Going to one or two Psi (psy) conferences or reading this book is not going to alter your life... especially when you don't understand the undertones of the philosophy (and the philosophy) as to why these principles work.

    Its just sensationalism... may work for a few

    Going back to it... I love the car!
    One thing I love about Ferrari's are that almost every model is a classic... The 348, 308, etc... are all awesome

    Mine is to get a low mileage 993 C2 911... IMO the last good looking 911

    If I have to ask, I probably can't afford it but what's maintenance like? LOL

    What are general repair bills like? Brakes? Clutch? Oil changes etc. haha

    Good choice. The 355 has always been one of my favorite cars, especially the berlinetta.

    It's not the most intelligent book written for sure...

    People say there are "big" theories traced back centuries....on self-confidence/cockyness and having goals? No shit it's called human nature.

    Great choice, anyone with money can buy an exotic, it's choosing a true classic like this over the other more modern choices that makes you a true car enthusiast in my opinion.
    I like cars.

    Thanks everyone. I appreciate the comments.

    The F355 is supposedly one of the most reliable Ferraris built and there are cars with over 70,000 miles out there. By that number my car is not quite halfway there. If I do about 2000 miles per year it should last me until I'm 60.
