Love it, love it, love it!!! Ive got to have one someday. There really isnt a better sounding car. Not for the money anyhow. Glad to see the joy of driving it. Its what Enzo had in mind all along.
Holyyy mother of god.... didn't expect a McIntosh hifi setup in there. That's almost cooler than the whole Ferrari itself. You couldn't and still can't get a better headunit for you car than one of these McIntoshs :O You really did make a bargain with this Ferrari this time
Hammer Smith I've been around them and driven several of them. If you can't appreciate a gated manual Ferrari from an era that has passed us, then you simply aren't a true car guy. The sound of this car alone is worth the price of entry, who cares that newer stuff is faster or more capable?
Hammer Smith - Good for you. Yes, I've been around several supercars as well as driven them. Don't believe me? It won't affect my day one way or the other but my videos would obviously show that I've "been within a mile of a supercar".
Hammer Smith - If you can't stand the brand, why did you even click on this video in the first place? Go outside and enjoy your day, life is too short for this kind of nonsense.
That McIntosh amplifier with the VU meters is worth $1000 plus alone! Head unit is expensive too and I'm sure you most likely have upgraded speakers in the doors too. Need to show some video of the meters moving on the amplifier....very cool!
Don't listen to them, Tyler - I love those rims much more than the stock star ones. You'll LOVE this car until the first couple of REALLY expensive repairs. I still say enjoy it until this Fall, store it for the Winter, and sell it next Spring when convertibles start going up again. Get out while the getting's good. Have fun til then!
Love your enthusiasm for this car. After dozens of headache inducing Hoopties you've had over the course of your experience it's about time you hit gold! :)
Super jealous! Love the 355 and I'd have the Spyder over the Casa Bonita. That sound... Of my. I love Magnum staring over your shoulder too. Enjoy that thing!! Congrats! F
I guess it's something American - putting wheels on every car, even an old Ferrari. IMO, nothing wrong putting rims on a new car (lets say max. 7 years old). After that you should bring back the old rims, because I think rims on older cars give the car a 'trashy' look.
I love how you managed to get one of the most (considered) "unreliable" cars ever. Fitting for the hoopty fleet no doubt. But then it was a cheap fix, and now it's awesome! I hope it lasts awhile with minimal trouble to put the rumors of nightmare 355 ownership to rest.
The Mondial would actually hold that title. Depending on where you're at, you can pick up a Mondial / Mondial T for around 20-30k in decent shape and less for a sketchy one.
Please make a parody with a riced out car looking like the supra like fast and the furious. Like a cavelier with a cardboard body kit... i wonder of theres any cavs or sunfires left... gotta love a 4cyl with dual exhaust! Murrica....?
well, like many exotics, you might be able to afford to buy one, but the repairs and maintenance will kill you. In the 80's I had someone approach me with a 911 turbo carrera that (if memory serves) was worth about $80K and he HAD to get rid of it for $35K. I had the money but it needed brakes and tires ($10K) and insurance was $8K a month....(10% of the value of the car was the going rate then).
No wonder the second gear synchromesh breaks on these with that kind of sound! It's impossible to not keep your foot piled in to the carpet!! My dad had a 1996 355 Berlinetta in Yellow back in 1998 - 2003, it was awesome! Hearing yours brings back some fond memories!
To anyone saying he's going to go bankrupt, consider this: He bought this car for $48,000. Assuming this car is in decent shape overall, this car on the normal market is worth probably $60,000-$75,000. That means he can spend up to $27,000 in repair bills and still own it for free.
How is that free? Wouldn't that come out to be him paying 60-75k? Lol. He probably paid a little less depending on how much he bought and put into his nsx, but that's hardly free. Haha
+bjorn Olson - I think the point was, it will be "free" usage when he sells it for market value and it cost nothing to own, even if he has incurred repairs. But you're right, if he keeps it and ends up putting it $30k in repairs, he will be into it for $75k, which is NOT free.
The farthest I go with exotics are corvettes/Porsche/bmw/Mercedes but yours is kinda growing on me. Love the wheels and the look by the way. Just make sure you dont die in it. I have had friends die in them. Number one rule do not die in the Ferrari!!! Its so hard to tell when your going to fast sometimes. I think your seeing that or I hope so. Congrats again that is a special ride.
I love taking people to Casa Bonita when they visit. It's kind of troll-ish, but the look on their faces when they realize how ridiculous it is exceeds their expectations is too good.
It's nice to see someone actually enjoying their toys. You're as excited about driving it as anyone would be who could never attain a Ferrari. Your humility keeps you likeable. Keep it up Tyler!
Congrats on the Ferrari--sweet ride for sure...could you please make a video on the silver Mercury Capri in the near future?--that slight peek was a real tease...thanks in advance.
Good for you man! Your Black Beauty there is one of the best deals I’ve ever seen. The 355 is probably the most beautifully sounding Ferrari ever made and I’ve always thought the “Casa Bonita” haha or Berlinetta as my favorite. Mine will be a red coupe and it probably won’t be as sweet a deal as yours!
Best sounding production V8 ever, it's unfortunate that the F129 Ferrari engine was only used in the F355, which are prone to being lit cars like yours was 😂😂
Honestly, I prefer the body lines of the spider. I typically hate convertibles, like I will sometimes disregard a car if it has a drop top. But the 355 spider has such a perfect shape, it's like one single movement without much interruption from a roof. 9/10 hoovie
Tyler when you get tiered of her, which may take longer than usual. and you sell her and make a decent profit, can you please try for a lamborghini diablo? thanks buddy
Cory Spears a ciggie and coffe is always the answer in Italy and France. 8 years ago (this week) i was in france, between Nice and Monaco, a small village with a historic church, as we was there a school coach trip pulled up, off jumped the teachers and the kids, 13 to 16 yo, and almost everyone of them lit up a smoke. It seemed bizarre, considering in the UK smoking bans was coming in, and everything was turning anti smoking, then all these kids and teachers all having a smoke together, on the school trip. I'm my day we played cat and mouse with the teachers to have a crafty smoke.
I'm glad to see you finally happy with a Hooptie car Tyler! :) This is such a great experience, shame you probably won't drive it across the country to experience more of its cruising capabilities. Enjoy the car my man!
Please put a towel in between the clear back plastic window to reduce scratching upon lowering and raising. Also use good plastic wax thats used on Boat tops for further protection
I’m not sure how much you know about McIntosh Audio, But if those subwoofers are also Mac, that system is worth the 10 grand cash you gave on top of the NSX. Total score. Well done.
Was thinking negative about the whole deal until you went through the tunnel and the clink of the gated shifter interrupted the godly exhaust note. Pure awesomeness.
Love the car. Maybe not the convertible, but then again, best way to hear that soundtrack. Wheels are great, just paint them gunmetal. Your best buy yet hoovie!
You should connect up with Big D Wiz and do an old school stereo showcase. I'd love to see more detail about that old school stereo, those McIntosh components are worth some serious coin if they're functioning.
Something else to love? It has enough HP strike the balance between fun and usable. You feel the speed in this car AND you can be on the throttle without being at full on lose your license speeds (just really expensive ticket speeds). The new cars are just so fast I wouldn't trust myself to not lose my license quickly.
In the first few videos I got the impression you could not afford this car if/when it broke, and the anxiety you always had while driving it, made it not worth it! But clearly this car makes you so excited, it's definitely worth spending whatever money you need to "invest" in order to keep it on the road!
Damn... That car is FIRE!
Box Friend weird that box looks like Tavarish
Too soon!
yeah about that...
Love it, love it, love it!!! Ive got to have one someday. There really isnt a better sounding car. Not for the money anyhow. Glad to see the joy of driving it. Its what Enzo had in mind all along.
Yeah wizard its FIRE
5:55 gave me chills... always been one of the best sounding cars in my book. Congrats sir, well done!
The Tom Selleck picture is the perfect touch.
Hoovie’s Garage making a great buy? Impossibru!
iLupi great Ferrari buy?!? WAT?!
I Think the Wheels look decent they're not completely riced with stretched tires
Holyyy mother of god.... didn't expect a McIntosh hifi setup in there. That's almost cooler than the whole Ferrari itself. You couldn't and still can't get a better headunit for you car than one of these McIntoshs :O
You really did make a bargain with this Ferrari this time
That setup totally justifies the backwards negotiating job he did on the price of the car.
jonnda was just thinking the same exact thing
My audio dudes up in here! Yeah that Mc system is DEFINITELY a "W"!
yeah i loved the mcintosh setup... so analog.
I didn't even know they made car audio.
The finest V8 sound mated with full McIntosh Audio. Wow, Hoovie smashed it.
This car is legit. Enjoy in good health!
Hammer Smith I've been around them and driven several of them. If you can't appreciate a gated manual Ferrari from an era that has passed us, then you simply aren't a true car guy. The sound of this car alone is worth the price of entry, who cares that newer stuff is faster or more capable?

Hammer Smith - If you can't stand the brand, why did you even click on this video in the first place? Go outside and enjoy your day, life is too short for this kind of nonsense.
Nathaniel vanDeursen Lol. 😂
Hammer Smith stepping stone? So to read between the lines, they let you go and now you hate them? Makes sense.
Nothing beats the sound of a Capristo equipped Ferrari F355😍
A really, really good catch. Happy for you!
That McIntosh amplifier with the VU meters is worth $1000 plus alone! Head unit is expensive too and I'm sure you most likely have upgraded speakers in the doors too. Need to show some video of the meters moving on the amplifier....very cool!
*Hoovies Garage* Excellent video, thank you. I watch them all and your channel is in the top 5.
No, those wheels are absolutely perfect. There is no reason to change the wheels at all, who the hell said they were ugly?
Don't listen to them, Tyler - I love those rims much more than the stock star ones. You'll LOVE this car until the first couple of REALLY expensive repairs. I still say enjoy it until this Fall, store it for the Winter, and sell it next Spring when convertibles start going up again. Get out while the getting's good. Have fun til then!
+Hammer Smith Fortunate for me then that you're just an internet pissant without the power to disallow anything.
Those are nice aftermarket wheels. Not cheap or ricey looking at all.
I like the rims, as well.
Yeah, I usually hate rims but these really look good and fill the wheel wells visually very nicely.
pff
Are you planning to put a protective wrap on the car to prevent the black paint from getting chipped?
The paint is a bit more that chipped now
that sound is pure symphony, especially through the tunnel
Yeah absolute FIRE
Love your enthusiasm for this car. After dozens of headache inducing Hoopties you've had over the course of your experience it's about time you hit gold! :)
*HAS ANYONE TOLD HIM IT'S AN MR2 UNDERNEATH YET ???*
DEAN IS HERE 😂😂
Hihi funny
Dean, is that you man?
It really is me man yeah... LOL !!!
Thank GOD, you're HERE!
Super jealous! Love the 355 and I'd have the Spyder over the Casa Bonita. That sound... Of my. I love Magnum staring over your shoulder too. Enjoy that thing!! Congrats! F
Berlin Spaghetti
You are right. It does sound amazing.
Those wheels are perfect. Go with your gut.
i wish we cold drive something like this in china...
honestly it's pretty cool looking rims
I guess it's something American - putting wheels on every car, even an old Ferrari. IMO, nothing wrong putting rims on a new car (lets say max. 7 years old). After that you should bring back the old rims, because I think rims on older cars give the car a 'trashy' look.
Just rip the F355 now.
Doug would disagree
What? The rims are looking so sick on the car😍
Everytime you say "I traded my NSX for" I die a little inside.
But a NSX sucks ass
Hahaha reliability wise you’re right but everything else Ferrari is better
That car is so sick. It will never be worth less than you paid for it, either. Good feeling. That stereo and install alone was probably $5-10K.
Except them repairs won't be reimbursed and they're not cheap
I love how you managed to get one of the most (considered) "unreliable" cars ever. Fitting for the hoopty fleet no doubt. But then it was a cheap fix, and now it's awesome! I hope it lasts awhile with minimal trouble to put the rumors of nightmare 355 ownership to rest.
I'm here from the future. Hoovies F355 lived up to it's reputation.
Wait a few months
One thing you forgot is you can pull up to anyone and say "you CAN actually afford it pal, its the cheapest ferrari in America! "
ng jason he literally talked about that in the beginning of the vid.
amv12vantage there we go
The Mondial would actually hold that title. Depending on where you're at, you can pick up a Mondial / Mondial T for around 20-30k in decent shape and less for a sketchy one.

Idk what people are compaining about? I fucking love those rims.
It should last awhile with Hoovies driving style. AKA 10mph slower than the speed limit in the right lane.
Sorry but SOMEONE had a bit of a different driving style...
I'm glad you came out on top with this purchase. The sound of the engine had me smiling just as much as you.
Man, and I thought I got a good deal on my 2002 Prius. Scoreeeee 🙌 you did great!
I don't think you can get a good deal on a 2002 Prius
I think I did. 💪 I'll do a 6 month report on my channel. Gonna do the transmission fluid and drop the pan when I get back from Dubai.
This comment wins the Most Irrelevant Bullshit award for trying to make a Ferrari video about yourself.
thecollegepicker there is NO good deals on the prius only loss of manhood
MR Islandtime 😂 it's for my wife so it'll be doing great wonders for my manhood.
No wonder the second gear synchromesh breaks on these with that kind of sound! It's impossible to not keep your foot piled in to the carpet!!
My dad had a 1996 355 Berlinetta in Yellow back in 1998 - 2003, it was awesome! Hearing yours brings back some fond memories!
You buy a Ferrari cheap and it's an easy fix. Who are you and what have you done with the real Tyler?
You’re right about the exhaust, Tyler.
And the looks.
And the wheels.
And the gauges.
Capri RS in the garage?
To anyone saying he's going to go bankrupt, consider this:
He bought this car for $48,000. Assuming this car is in decent shape overall, this car on the normal market is worth probably $60,000-$75,000. That means he can spend up to $27,000 in repair bills and still own it for free.
Also, I think with his family owning a franchise, he will be alright. Also Tyler makes jokes at himself for being an idiot, which he isn't.
How is that free? Wouldn't that come out to be him paying 60-75k? Lol. He probably paid a little less depending on how much he bought and put into his nsx, but that's hardly free. Haha
+bjorn Olson - I think the point was, it will be "free" usage when he sells it for market value and it cost nothing to own, even if he has incurred repairs. But you're right, if he keeps it and ends up putting it $30k in repairs, he will be into it for $75k, which is NOT free.
Omgwtflol: ahh. Got it. Lol. I think he plans on keeping it though.
Erik how is it free if you spend more 💰 money
The sound of that exhaust is sublime! Congratulations man, good for you!
I think it needs a tissue box holder judging by the effects of the tunnel.
Congrats Hoov! Glad there was'nt anything wrong with it. Super sweet ride. Always thought the 355 had the best V8 Ferrari sound.
Is that a 79 Capri with TRX?
Oh yeah, nice Ferrari.
yea what the hell!! where is that video?
I noticed that right away also
I wonder if it was purposely allowed in the shots to tease us. Consider me teased. :)
The other cool thing is it's an RS.
I know right I was like when the hell are we gonna see a video on that??
The farthest I go with exotics are corvettes/Porsche/bmw/Mercedes but yours is kinda growing on me. Love the wheels and the look by the way. Just make sure you dont die in it. I have had friends die in them. Number one rule do not die in the Ferrari!!! Its so hard to tell when your going to fast sometimes. I think your seeing that or I hope so. Congrats again that is a special ride.
When someone says "pop the hood bro" u should reply saying "It's empyty bro" sincr u have the Motor in the trunk 😂
I love how excited you are every time you drive it, like I would be in my dream car a ‘66 427/425 vette. Enjoy!
5:13 ok now I need to eat at Casa Bonita tonight!
FAST Food Pit Stops I should go there pretty soon myself.. It's been a while
Is that a real place? I only know it from South Park.
Casa Bonita Denver. The South Park episode is based (loosely) around the actual restaurant.
I love taking people to Casa Bonita when they visit. It's kind of troll-ish, but the look on their faces when they realize how ridiculous it is exceeds their expectations is too good.
FAST Food Pit Stops I love your channel man!
It's nice to see someone actually enjoying their toys. You're as excited about driving it as anyone would be who could never attain a Ferrari. Your humility keeps you likeable. Keep it up Tyler!
The wheels look great.
Congrats on the Ferrari--sweet ride for sure...could you please make a video on the silver Mercury Capri in the near future?--that slight peek was a real tease...thanks in advance.
OMG that stereo!
Hadn't even heard of McIntosh. A good head unit is like $2k... what an amazing combination, someone mated the finest V8 sound with perfect audio. Wow.
I've been following a while. I'm glad you've found something so great. (I love the wheels and audio system btw)
That Capri RS i the background @4:40 is what i want to know more about!!!
Cool car, Hoovie is a legend for getting this Ferrari! @ 0:49 sums it up well.
It’s heartbreaking seeing how genuinely happy he is while knowing this car’s fate😢
Good for you man! Your Black Beauty there is one of the best deals I’ve ever seen. The 355 is probably the most beautifully sounding Ferrari ever made and I’ve always thought the “Casa Bonita” haha or Berlinetta as my favorite.

Tyler when you get tiered of her, which may take longer than usual. and you sell her and make a decent profit, can you please try for a lamborghini diablo? thanks buddy
I got good news and bad news for you my dude.......
Before you even mentioned it, I actually made a mental note that I enjoyed the wheels! They help modernize the look!
A cigarette is needed after that tunnel scene.. 😀
Cory Spears a ciggie and coffe is always the answer in Italy and France.
8 years ago (this week) i was in france, between Nice and Monaco, a small village with a historic church, as we was there a school coach trip pulled up, off jumped the teachers and the kids, 13 to 16 yo, and almost everyone of them lit up a smoke.
It seemed bizarre, considering in the UK smoking bans was coming in, and everything was turning anti smoking, then all these kids and teachers all having a smoke together, on the school trip.
I'm my day we played cat and mouse with the teachers to have a crafty smoke.
Glad to see hoovie finally winning on a purchase. Well deserved!
I dig the wheels 👍
I'm glad to see you finally happy with a Hooptie car Tyler! :)
This is such a great experience, shame you probably won't drive it across the country to experience more of its cruising capabilities.
Enjoy the car my man!
Have this race tavarish's supra to remake the f&f scene
5:29 Best sounding V8 on a Road Car
5:59🔊
7:17 Love the pop-ups
Change those US spec amber lenses to clear ones!
Hoovie make that exhaust part of the intro ! It sounds great even on camera !!!
Its gorgeous man, very nice pick.
Love the wheels. Love the color
Solid Casa Bonita reference. Clearly you've been to Denver and Colfax a few times.
I actually like the wheels.
Was feeling conflicted when I heard you got rid of the NSX, but I have to admit, you did good Hoovie. You did good.
Hoovies with a black joke...#priceless
Where? I didnt catch it.
SonnyGTA Hallie Berry reference
mixed
i dont think that was a black joke in the slightest
Please put a towel in between the clear back plastic window to reduce scratching upon lowering and raising. Also use good plastic wax thats used on Boat tops for further protection
Salutations, and Congratulations.
You did great purchasing this bad boy! Well done sir! 👍👍
That Amp, wow looks expensive.
Dave Spooney Macintosh are all of that, VERY expensive!
I’m not sure how much you know about McIntosh Audio, But if those subwoofers are also Mac, that system is worth the 10 grand cash you gave on top of the NSX. Total score. Well done.
How much was exhaust system?
Vedad More than you can afford pal
when the first comment has more likes than the op
I think hoovie said it was 5.000$ in a past video
A fart can
He said it was a $7000 setup around the 3:15 mark.
Was thinking negative about the whole deal until you went through the tunnel and the clink of the gated shifter interrupted the godly exhaust note. Pure awesomeness.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love the car. Maybe not the convertible, but then again, best way to hear that soundtrack. Wheels are great, just paint them gunmetal. Your best buy yet hoovie!
But are you gonna slam it on tarmacs?
Rafael B not even gonna lie tarmacs would look pretty dope on the rarri
You should connect up with Big D Wiz and do an old school stereo showcase. I'd love to see more detail about that old school stereo, those McIntosh components are worth some serious coin if they're functioning.
them rims are nice mate nice lip these folks has no taste. keep the rims
Great video, super car. Your audio has really gotten good, somebody on the sound crew give you some tips? Lol, kidding aside great video.
Those are gorgeous wheels
Oh my god!!! The sound is so amazing 😍 Nice catch!
1:18. 2008??? Man Tyler, you're WAY off.
ok I’m not loosing my hearing. LOL
Congrats on getting this running well. Looks great!
At 8:15 the temp gauge sure moves a lot.
Something else to love? It has enough HP strike the balance between fun and usable. You feel the speed in this car AND you can be on the throttle without being at full on lose your license speeds (just really expensive ticket speeds). The new cars are just so fast I wouldn't trust myself to not lose my license quickly.
Higgins
Very happy for your purchase and how you seem to have a dream just come true. Congratulations!
Are your rear tires on backwards? (wrong side)
Saw that too at 4:44
In the first few videos I got the impression you could not afford this car if/when it broke, and the anxiety you always had while driving it, made it not worth it! But clearly this car makes you so excited, it's definitely worth spending whatever money you need to "invest" in order to keep it on the road!
I like the wheels.. keep them :-)
Well played Hoovie! Hoping there are no surprises coming.
My 1999 Audi S4 has 5 valves per cylinder.
BionicSammich my A4 did too, yup.
Yeah think they were hitting about 260 bhp aswel
My freaking 1997 Skoda Octavia 1.8 had 5 valves per cylinder
BionicSammich I'll gap ya
Do you want a medal?
That 355 is dreamy .Will you do a video on that Foxbody Capri sometime?
keep the wheels, they look fucking awesome
Sounds like you're going thru the tunnel at Monaco:)
And did I see a rather minty looking Mercury Capri in the corner of your garage???
