Now I still want one VERY badly.
Guess I have to get out of college first and become
a Nanophotonic Engineer.

Plus, Ferrari needs to start a new Testarossa model.
I just do not like the Maranello.

I do suppose it is level journalism, but it is very difficult for me
to be objective, as I positively loathe the car; heralding, as it did,
the end of an unparalleled history of superlative integration of
unadulterate beauty into the design of automobiles, on the part of
Pininfarina and Ferrari.

246 -> 365BB/512BB -> 308GTB -> Testarossa?
<voice=elmo>
One of these things is not like the others.

The F-50, the Enzo?  Something out of Anime or GoBots...  Not Italy.

The 456/575 replacements?  Those front ends would make lovely
Bugattis, but Ferraris of a modern idiom?  No friggin way...  Again,
not Italian.

....And it all falls to the feet of the %$@#*^& 512TR, with its
Pontiac wide-a.s unbuttressed cheesegraters, and that insipid TV show.

Jeez - all you need is your hand around a champagne flute, little finger out
and up, and an ascot, and this guy will run back to his momma faster than
Carl Lewis ...

Does anyone wear an ascot any more?

Seems to me that by the time you're ready to buy one, more and more of the
models available will be older and require more service (allow me to state
the obvious - doh!).  I have always loved that car, though not in white, but
it has been known as an expensive car to own since day one.  So you have to
figure that the kind of car you'd want to own is going to set you back close
to 100K.

The article was a good one.  They seem to rely on their own "experts"
exclusively, but what the hell - T308 was probably busy.
