Ferrari Automobiles

[cleveramerican]

Its so great that there are companies and products like these wonderful automobiles. Put aside the staggering cost of these cars for a moment($174k for the lowest priced model)and just marvel at what wonderful machines these are. Ferrari has a killer lineup thats includes several different models, each one as beautiful as a piece of sculpture, as exciting as a race car to drive and as exclusive as any car out there.The pride of Modena.

I appreciate their beauty and their overall excellence.

tell me your thoughts on Ferrari as a car and as a company.

1. Here's a Ferrari that serves a useful purpose -- entertainment:

go see them at Indy every year and the impossible dream of driving one.

[Pierre.Suave]

3. And if I want to go racing...

Seriously, could a car get any better looking than the two above?

[Lost4words]

4. Yes, a 275 GT4

[Pierre.Suave]

5. Well,

to each his own, I personally dont think that one is so great looking, but I still would drive it. ;-)

18. Chances are you wouldn't

Ferrari is an Italian word. It means "In the shop".

Back in the "day", I owned two 308 GTS i's. Wore out a clutch in under 8,000 Miles. This was not a result of poor driving habits. I took first in class three years in a row in the Porsche club, Redwood region, autocross series and you don't do that if you can't handle a car well. They are simply very expensive toys that break easily. How expensive? I could have bought a decent economy car for what they wanted for a new clutch.

Joined the Ferrari Club. Went to one meeting. About 40 people in attendance. # of Ferrari's present, two. Mine and my wifes. All the rest were you know where. This NEVER happened with the Porsches. I don't remember one PCA meeting where everyone present didn't get there in their Stuttgart vehicle.

10. think "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"

the song that played in the background while Cameron introduced his father's Ferrari to Ferris.

...chicka-chickaaaaaaaaaa

[Pierre.Suave]

11. AHHH

[EnviroBat]

15. heheheh...

I knew it would come to you eventually!

[aePrime]

12. Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Cameron: The 1961 Ferrari 250GT California. Less than a hundred were made. My father spent three years restoring this car. It is his love, it is his passion.

Ferris: It is his fault he didn't lock the garage.

[Pierre.Suave]

13. truly

[cleveramerican]

" a man with his priories so out of whack doesn't deserve such a car"

[kwassa]

14. I got stuck in traffic behind OJ Simpson in his red Testarossa

on Wilshire Boulevard in Westwood about 20 years ago.

I was feeling envy for that car.

[cleveramerican]

17. I tend to prefer the 12-cylinder models also

It was actually built by Enzo Ferrari for Pirelli as a gift.

This is the other

Mind you - we are now allowed to even breathe near them, they don't go out in the rain and...well you get the picture.

Sometimes I wonder if it is even worth having them, but when you turn them on - WOW - even if you are not into cars, the purr of that engine will get ya.

21. That 365 is gorgeous

The front end reminds me of my favorite the Dino 246. I know its a Dino and therefore not a true Ferrari but I love the curves on it.

[malta blue]

22. The 365 is my favorite

and heaven forbid you get too close to it...my dad will come after you with a vengeance.
