Life is good

They don't let me touch it, but I AM allowed to be close! 

The tow hook in back makes me think that someone had a bad day. They are amazing in person though. I've only seen two in person. 

The tow hook is only there because the car is not being driven around the lot. It's only in the shop to have the hard top mounted. 

Those Alpina wheels are so, so good

I like everything but the color. I don't think I've ever seen one of those before, but I really like the look

Very pretty, but all the Alpina models were (sadly) automatics.

I must be the only one that prefers the regular wheels. I love these, they're so understated, yet so classy!

One of my tenants has or had one. Haven't seen it in a while. He put like a hundred thousand miles on it and I loved him for it. 

I always thought these were goofy looking in pictures, but good Lord, they are striking in person.

I’ve driven one!   A manual, to boot.  

A friend became  wealthy in the late 90s.  He was shopping Ferraris but the waiting list was long and I talked to him about Z8s.  It’s likely been a good purchase, since they didn’t ever seem to depreciate.

That one is valued at about $260K. 

I've only seen two on the road, and the first was on a very tight and crowded highway in Boston. They are shockingly good looking in person, and I was terrified for the guy driving it in traffic.

Crikey.  I know what he paid, all in, in $CDN.  It wasn't that.

I don't like these. I've seen a black one in a warehouse with the top down collecting guano.

I do wonder what they're like to drive though. I remember (old new) Top Gear saying the Alpina one was both slower around their track and worse to drive than the regular one. Bigger wheels and an automatic both get a resounding "meh" from me.
