Alright, stupid question, but why does everyone seem to dislike the Koenigsegg so much? Besides the fact that it's not a Ferrari.

What a f.cking idiot you are. Do you even listen to yourself, or have you already decided that your mouth is an open arsehole and you don't care what comes out of it? You don't deserve to even appear in this group; alas, the Internet is an open forum. Good thing you're in Russia - nice and freezing cold most of the year. I hope you get hit by a Testarossa, owned by a Russian gangster, of course, tomorrow morning. f.cking moron! MC (back after a brief psychotropic sojourn) > What a f.cking idiot you are.

No reply from Gorbachev ... it's probably a fake ID anyway - but perhaps he's PLOTTING REVENGE against me, trying to figure out a way to knock me offline, maybe pump me full of spyware (with a Trojan chaser). Ah well ... live and learn. Nobody wins in a fight with a crazy man. MC (putting the finishing touches on the newest installment of the SAGA ... 15 pages now and counting!

Has their service gotten any better? You might consider engaging in normal conversation first, before shamelessly trolling for an argument with lame insults. Don't get me wrong, plenty of people dislike the Testarossa, considering it 80's excess at it's worst, but you're coming across like a total tool... -Matt- "..." >>>>Mostly newer cars. I cannot ever begin to calculate what the insurance bill >>>>will be... [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > Ask your MD for a pill that will help you see the TR for the steaming > turd that it is. I take too many pills as it is. As it is obvious that your opinion of the TR is quite deep-rooted, I won't pursue the argument. But I can't retract my lash, sorry. There are Ferrari models I don't particularly care for, but considering my feelings about Ferrari I would never go into the sewer to serve up an opinion. You are probably a troll, certainly not a Ferrari owner or not likely even an enthusiast. A real Ferrari admirer just wouldn't go there, no matter how much they disliked one model or another. Even my first, quite negative, opinions of the Enzo carried themselves with a bit of class (compared to your spew, anyway). MC  SignatureApe! Apes wearing clothes! It's a madhouse!

Even my first, quite negative, opinions of the >Enzo carried themselves with a bit of class (compared to your spew, anyway). It is a false admiration which admits no faults. The TR is emblematic of several non trivial illnesses resident in Ferrari at its time: A loss of engineering sharpness, a lack of design focus, the loss of corporate vision and purpose, excessive influence of FIAT's political and financial turmoils, and by no means least, it was the harbinger of a lamentable period of styling mediocrity which to no small extent still pervades the company even while their engineering excellence is renewed and unparalleled. What it is, is a styling and design abomination, what it represents is far worse. > What it is, is a styling and design abomination, what it represents is > far worse. Intelligently written, all of that. But just remember, it's your opinion - and only that. Sonny Crockett sure liked *his* Testy. All of us here, at one time or another, have been slapped down for trying to force an opinion down everybody's throat as if it were the Ten Commandments plummeting from heaven. Remember that, Grasshopper, and if you want you too can enjoy a long and fruitful career here as an AAF regular. Even though I believe I recently called you a f.cking idiot (and the same type of moron, to boot), I must admit that I like your style. (And anyway, some folks would call that simply a form of baptism ...) In fact, on those days when my own style deserts me, may I borrow yours?

I'm very proud of my title, actually. It opens lots of interesting doors, and closes most of the ones I didn't give a sh.t about anyway. Plus, it means I can make faces at people whenever I want and there's nothing they can do about it! The liberation of insanity, whatever the level of affliction and even taking into account the alleged effects of prescribed medications, is a gift not to be discounted. I mean, I could've been born the son of a Yangtze River fishmonger - or a NASCAR-loving, no-job-having, married-to-his-sister Alabama tobacco-chewer who gazes at my a.s with thoughts of the woodshed. It can always be worse. But maybe I won't feel this way in a few days. That's why dey ain't no firearms at my pad and all my knives couldn't cut hot butter. MC SignatureApe! Apes wearing clothes!

You are truly a master baiter. When will I ever learn? Am I always the last one to get it? And you're laughing, too. I hope you spill your beer. :-) MC SignatureApe! Apes wearing clothes! It's a madhouse! A madhouse! >>>>What [the TR] is, is a styling and design abomination, what it represents is >>>>far worse. [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > >:-) A pattern *has* developed... These are however serious and cogent questions. To pretend the TR is not a steaming turd is to devalue the beautifully crafted designs which came before (for the record I was absolutely livid at the time when the TR was revealed), to ignore the stunning engineering excellence effected since (the 288-on drivetrain configuration is vastly superior in a mid-rear engined car, as is the 275/365/550's in a GT), while acquiescing to the mundane and even somewhat revolting styling executions of today (the 550/575's Supra nostril, most of the Enzo, the 430's headlights and tail, the general blandness from nose back of the 612). If the '80s and '90s can teach us anything, 21years without a championship being paramount, it is that Ferrari are not infallible, despite their recent triumphs. Remember the Series I 330 GT 2+2, the Ferrari "Percheron"? ...And $120/ea for a freaking lug bolt is just obscene: We're not talking space travel here. > ><eyes to the sky ... face reddening ... realization a left hook to the chin> > > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > A pattern *has* developed... You gotta be shittin' me. -Matt- "Dude, double-yew-tee-eff is two papers?" <<Yeah... Not so much slapped down for forcing a contrary opinion as for even stating one which didn't genuflect deferentially to the priestesses and their dogma.>> Wrong again, mister. It was noted that your opinion was stated in an offensive manner. One doesn't have to have a personal preference for a vehicle or a relationship with the owner to appreciate the loss of any Ferrari. And since you're new and are obviously ignorant of my view of the various iterations of modern day Testarossa, I will enlighten you to the fact that I am not a fan. I've done what I could to discourage the addition of one to the family and I tell anyone who asks that it's one of the ugliest cars ever to be graced with the Prancing Horse. However, I would never proclaim that the world is better for having lost one. It's not about me, it's about the history of the marque. C. > <<Yeah...

Ahhh, I feel so much better. Your old (and wiliest, though you would disagree) adversary once again is the chameleon. I swear to God I won't be taken in again.

How anyone who's been here for more than a month could miss my aversion to the styling cues of the TR is beyond me. << I swear to God I won't be taken in again.
