I have an 11 year old F355 and it's the best car to drive, but not everyday. A Ferrari does not stand up well to the wear and tear of frequent use because they tend to be wide, low slung and highly stressed. It's the sort of car where, after 20 miles, you're asking yourself "aren't we there yet?"

I have taken to using it on trips to the supermarket recently, to the bemusement and annoyance of other people when I park it across two parking spaces. Otherwise, can't open the doors to get out...

My car is meant to have its belts replaced every three years but it's really a kind of insurance policy against the belts letting go and wrecking the engine. I stretch it to 4 years.
