Indifferent

Few years back I had a Ferrari, nothing else but misery.

Bought it brand new, after 14 months (of which it spent nearly 3 months with the dealer for service and repairs) sold it with less than 9,000 km on it and was glad it was gone.

If I can have any Ferrari my choice would the model that can be traded in fastest for any more reliable cars like Mercedes or Porsche.

I’ve learned it the hard (read expensive) way: beautiful cars may come from Italy, dependable cars from Germany

No offense meant to any Ferrari lovers because they are gorgeous and driving them is a feast provided it will drive.

A true classic design.

Grin!

Classically beautiful, certainly one of the most beautiful cars ever made. Reflects well upon your tastes, my friend!

If only one could have a Ferrari... It would be the 250 GT Lusso for me - it has such a feline shape... irresistible. Elegant, powerful, refined. As for colours, silver with deep red leather or burgundy with tan interior. McQueen had a brown one but it de...

I loved it in the 1990s when it was lambasted as a "Supra" and insufficiently extroverted for a flagship Ferrari. Now it's an acknowledged classic. I wish I bought one when they were at $70,000 in 2011. Photo by internet dealer "BAC Monaco" Best, Tim ...
