New Ferraris leave me emotionally bereft. They are just another impractical overpriced poser car. Go ahead and figuratively stab me through the ear with your pens now.........

I wouldn't mind owning a Ferrari, but I'm sure all I'd do is go around saying, "Hey, check out my Ferrari."

Yep, I'd like to think I'd be an approachable, average Joe who owns a Ferrari, but the truth is, I'd probably be a total prick.

I am sure they are great cars to drive at speed.

Sadly most people, including most of their owners, will never know.

Just remember: It is more fun to drive a slow car fast then a fast car slow.l

I'd try to emulate that Loose fellow who loaned his Enzo to Road & Track for the track test and then made a point of using the car as much as possible. Before he wrecked it (nearly killed him) during a benefit event in Texas, it was documented as having the most miles of any Enzo.

I agree that new ferraris do not interest me.. now give me a 275, 308/328, or a 206/246 and I will wax poetic

I'd agree that few other cars have the soul or beauty of a classic Ferrari, but the 360 Modena I got a change to autocross two summers ago was the most amazing car I've ever driven in anger. I can't wait to track an F430 soon.

Agreed. When I make real money I am buying a Fly Yellow 355 Targa with the 6MT and driving that bitch daily until the odo rolls over.

I'd rather have a Lambo.

I would like a 308 though.

Yes, we get it, you can stop knocking it over our heads. You'd rather have the exact opposite of whatever is being discussed in any thread you post in. Soccer, Lamborghini's, Green Party, blah blah blah.

If you don't have anything to add besides opposite day, please don't post.

In my pathetic little mind, Ferrari quit making cars when the dropped the gated shifter and went with the paddle shifter. Except for the 308, nothing they have made has appealed to me since the 365 GTB.

Hell, I would take anything in the Ferrari Lineup. They aren't on the top of any of my lists but still.

Well sorry I'm crotchety today then. It just seemed like every single thread I read this morning had you posting that you hated the thread subject and wanted the opposite, which has been a theme from you for months.

I know you like to be different (just like everybody else on this board), but it does seem to be a little overkill, at least to me this morning.

Probably just a lack of hot sauce on my burrito this morning though...
