    Ohhhh it´s a shame to hear the F355 project is no more :( The DIY videos are the best for sure; I, for example, am a computer engineer guy and I love mechanic but I don´t know almost anything about it, so these videos teach me a lot... but yeah, you´re absolutely right: it´s your time, your business, your money, your effort that´s on the line, and you guys have to make the most out of it. Here´s my like and my support as always, Dan. I hope you can feel the huge hug I´m sending you and your crew. Keep on it ;)

    good for you guys, bummer for me. I was really wanting to buy that car, after Josh finished his magic on the mechanicals. The prices are really taking off, especially on GTS's. I just saw a 6 Speed GTS go for $300K. Now that is silly money, but indicates what is happening in the 355 market

    You should not stop diy’s as that is the core of the channel plus they will always come back to the next diy. Balance it otherwise, you will lose the regulars and end up only with browsers that will not return once they move on to the next channel. Not sure if you can see who are the frequent viewers and maybe have a survey done to those.

    A 355 GTS just sold for $300,000 on BaT. I can understand why someone wanted to buy it, even in its current state. Frankly, I don't see the attraction of the 355. Its a low powered car, not particularly well engineered and is frankly mediocre in design in my opinion. But, I grew up with pop-up headlights and the kiddos today love some pop-up headlights. Probably for the same reasons those of us who grew up in the 70's felt when we first saw pop-up headlights. For me, my opinion only, the only thing attractive about the 355 is the sound it makes which is to me the best sounding Ferrari made since 1990.
    BTW, I've noticed you're super sensitive to comments. Its a theme that runs through nearly all your videos. Commenters will always have an opinion. Even negative comments increase your "social engagement" and if you look at it that way rather than taking things so personally, its a positive. No reaction or apathetic engagement will murder a creator's channel. You always want engagement, preferably positive, but negative is ok too.
