Or even a detailing business, I bet you'd do pretty good.

There is a guy in my home city Melbourne Aussie Land. He is a mechanic and is very old about mid 60's and has no less than 12 Ferrari's in his workshop at any given time. He works on them just like they are a Hyundai ! He charges around $80 an hour and has a few apprentices. He tells me as long as they keep making Ferraris he will always have plenty of work. They are a pile of crapp. They break down and have engine changes with only 10 thousand on the clock. 99% of them can't change a light bulb ! They all dress in armani suites and most have Italian backgrounds. The local Ferrari dealer charges around $250 per hour and makes the fun in owning a Ferrari miserable.
So I'm sure there would be a posi over there for a good mechanic who is not to greedy and could live with around $80 per hour ..... Stewy

If somebody is earning enough money to buy a quarter million dollar car, it's not going to be an economic use of their time to change a light bulb.

Funny, to know that I'm "very old", and there may be many "very old" guys around here. However if you can afford a Ferarri Maintenance is a non issue.
