Ferrari enthusiasts on husker max?

[WestTexasHusker]

So I have owned three Ferraris in my life, but it’s been ten very long years!!!

So my hunt has begun. I’m either going to go for the Ferrari California or a 360 Spider. Which do you guys like the look of better? The first is the Cali:

and the 360

The Cali is easier to drive with an automatic. The 360 is basically a street legal F1 car with F1 manual trans with paddles

Obviously the Cali... Go Big Red

How could you possibly buy a Ferrari that wasn't red?

I saw a lime green??? one last year. To me, a non-red Ferrari is kind of like Nebraska wearing all-white road uniforms. It's just not right.

I actually prefer black on black but the solar absorption is just too much.... nice in the winter but just about impossible to drive in the summer.

Black is so hard to keep really nice looking on the paint - it absorbs heat and the paint actually softens to the point you can scratch it literally with the SKIN of your finger on a hot day.

I've always wanted a 308 just so I can pretend to be Magnum.

I had an ‘82 once. It was a fun cruiser but embarrassing sluggish. Like a Honda Accord would leave it out of a light. That’s because EPA regulations at the time on imports basically forced Ferrari to neuter the thing. Easily the most iconic Ferrari, for sure.

 

[WestTexasHusker]

The 246 Dino was the car that beget the 308. These are $300K cars now, at a minimum.

You can see some similarities. The 308 went with sharper, more angular lines. Similar set-up, however.

Well I took the plunge today.

If you have Netflix, you have to watch A Life of Speed:: The Juan Manuel Fangio Story. The auto museums they show are just incredible, as is the story of the greatest race car driver of all time (they crunched the numbers).
