It's odd, but there are scarce few Italian cars or motorcycles built after 1998 that "do" anything for me, Ferrari included.

I'm partial to the Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio but then I keep getting lusting after a '74 restomod Spider or GTV.  because in California -- no bi-annual SMOG checks on '75 & newer where I live.  The good news is lighten the transmission gears and add a Carbon Fiber driveshaft you'll have a really nice, light car.

I have to agree.  In my case I figure it's my age.  I remember when Ferraris, Aston Martins, etc. cost $10,000 and not far from my parents house in Orange county not far from where Anaheim stadium is for baseball and Supercross racing now used to be an orange grove......there was a Ferrari tuneup shop that would test their cars after tuning them and I could hear them then coming towards our house.  :cool:  :thumb:   This was back in the `60's.  Back then the fastest car was the Lambhorgini Countach (190 mph)  :bow:

3.8L Jaguar XKEs would do 150 mph.  Knew a Highway Patrol officer who told me they didn't have any car that could do that then.  :evil:

When it comes to Ferrari I love them all.
I was lucky enough to have a ride in a 275 Columbo V8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not to mention a Bugatti Boat Tail and a BMW M1 when they were first out.

One of my tenants is a very high end collision shop and I get to see all kinds, makes, and years of exotic cars.  Not to mention the unique planes (in parts) they work on.  Way fun.

Everyone has a "Prettiest Automobile of All Time", and (likely) all different.

This one's mine.  (Not MINE, my favorite!)   



Probably 7 figures (8?) to buy one like this, but dreams don't cost a thing ...

Good choice, Lannis. 1958 Testarossa. The "pod" fender design was to channel air over the drum brakes. Here's another view:

I really like the Giulia, too!  Maybe one day I can luck into one of those or one of these.  Full-sized Ferrari will likely never happen.

I am a fan of the vintage models, saw this one at a shop around the corner from where I live.

Click on the picture and it will show the whole car...

Photos can't quite capture the beauty of this car.  It is the prettiest Ferrari I've seen in person.



this one takes a better photo but is perhaps the 2nd best looking one that I've seen.
