Well, it took awhile, but another Ferrari model took the 550 Maranello
off my mantel as THE Ferrari I would own. It is lamentable; I never
thought this would happen. I feel like I am abandoning a lover. My
newest paramour d' Italia?

The 575 Maranello Handling GTC

What can I say? Such a breathtaking change in direction! I am
welcoming any and all comers to purchase this beautiful, exciting new
automobile so that I may relieve you of it in the coming years.

You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane.
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me

FFS ...It's the same car, only riced-up.

I wil not allow myself to see it that way. To me it's like when the
Israelites were all hungry, and they were casting about and unsure and
angry. They lifted their head to the Lord to cry for salvation, and LO!
Bread fell from the heavens. At all times I seek an ever better
Maranello, and LO! I receive the news.

Laugh all you want. Escapism is all I've got.

Bah, I don't see it as riced up.

Riced up would be like the non-effective wing used
on the Lambourghini Diablo.

Scuderia shields are ricey too, especially on something
like a 550.

My 2 cents...

Just trying to make a point...

Larger brakes, larger wheels, and a bees-nest exhaust system hardly
constitutes "a breathtaking change in direction".
