I've owned 2 Italian cars in my life (Ferrar 328GTS and an Alfa Romeo Quadrifolgio), and both were mechanical nightmares.. To the point where if I was taking a long trip, I'd take my regular car for fear of getting stranded far away from home.
I actually found a mint Ferrari 355 for $69K on the DuPont Registry (8000 miles!), but reliability and maintenance have scared me away. I've been daily driving my Porsche for about 2 years now, and it's never once let me down.
