kimbo305 posted:I remembered this as I was filing the shop work record -- they were able to diagnose the non-functional oil temp gauge to the sensor at the bottom of the oil reservoir. So wiring is good, gauge is good, but sender is not giving a signal. The replacement is supposed to be "not that expensive," but I'll find out what that means in the spring when I get fluids changed and an alignment. Access to the sensor is easy when the reservoir is drained. Either that or he's a good writer on SA moonlighting under an alter ego as a bad writer everywhere else.

Keep on it with the neurologist. I had chronic facial pain that escalated to unbearable for 2-3 days a week over the course of 5 years and effectively ruined half of my 20s. Everyone thought I was crazy and I spent a lot of time at a research hospital where I was frequently interesting but not fully diagnosable. MRI and CT got nothing. It turns out I had inflammation near my salivary glands and nerves got pinched every time I ate or smelled food. We didn't find this out until I demanded an anti-inflammatory steroid to see if it'd stick. Good luck, mystery ailments are the worst and often require obnoxiously persistent self advocacy on the side of the patient.

I'm too late for this but I'm actually in the opposite camp - drive the Ferrari and make it NBD. If you have a special fetish car you only use for special occasions, and you don't consider seeing her special occasion, it makes you look like an old man with a garage queen Corvette and runs the risk of her feeling unspecial. TLDR you shouldn't have to talk about your car either way and a 348 is a sign of connoisseur, not a badge snob, as long as you show you're ready to enjoy it. Also Lamborghini and Porsche are both VAG so she gets a pass.

There's an interesting ebook on Amazon called "one year with a Ferrari" or something where the author buys a 355. I forget the dollars per mile in operating costs but IIRC it cost him $80 to take his daughter out to ice cream.

If I'm understanding you correctly, this is the difference between the NA Miata and the E30 318is for me. The Miata's controls are unified in their feel and compliment the throttle and brakes nicely. Everything is light and can be done with a pinky or a toe. The same amount of input is required for all systems in the car, and the same level of output results from all of them. The 318is has the throttle and braking response of the Miata, but with heavier steering and an unweighted German shifter. I want a nice example of this car desperately, but when I drive one, it always throws me how turning requires twice as much effort as you'd expect from such a lightweight drivetrain. The whole package doesn't add up to an organic whole, it's just a more excitable E30.
