No no 😊😁
After I got it out of my system, went through a G Wagen Phase, AMG Phase and Porsche Phase, since the 90s early 2000s is my favorite Era of design language to protect the local automotive industry the problem is there is a silly rule cars older than 3 years can't be imported 🙄
This had to be sacrificed
My Niece loved this car, when it was sold my Sister and Niece cried, Very Emotional
Agree, IMHO Giallo Modena is truer and sexier than Rosso Corsa
completely shows every curve and kink.
Yes Sir the 550 was manual, the 575 and the Superamerica were...
Paddle shift but manual cars were also made but in very low numbers ...
Yup. I say "generally" since I can't account for any one-offs that were built with the F1 transmission.
Just like I would say generally all 575 Ferraris are F1 transmissions. That 550 is a nice car. I've never driven one, but I always liked the shape of the 550 and the 575. My favorite design. The F12 is a near second!
Why Frontin by Pharrel was so cool

I'll take your word for it!
I have driven the 612, nice machine, similar powertrain to the 575. The 575 probably feels similar to the 612. Never owned a V12 Ferrari though; it is a privilege that I haven't sought out yet.
If you get the chance, try a 456 Manual, also came in an Auto
Makes sense they feel similar, the 575/612 were those transition models, I like all cars 😄 whether a Suzuki 600cc or a Mercedes V12 and everything in between
Good to know that you like all cars!
I have an aversion towards front wheel drive cars. But they do seem to be getting better. I rarely rent cars anymore after the pandemic. But in the rare cases when I do - I am sometimes given a FWD and it's not too bad.
Summer was too hot to drive it..
So for 4 months it would be stored, when you'd open the door after that time a rush of sweet Connolly Leather smell would overwhelm your senses.
Sounds cool in a days gone by sense 😊👍🏻
And can fully picture the feeling from your description. Was it already from the relatively reliable era or still somewhat temperamental?
Temperamental but felt more rare/special and a connection with the 60s/70s, after that everything changed 430 forward
The period 1976 to 2000 was an Era
No no 😊😁

That is unfortunate 🤷🏻♂️
So the rule also applies to vintage and high level cars, for which there is no domestic industry? 😱

So True! And Road Rage and Conditions also

To be honest…
Even nowadays most cars don’t do well in extreme climates. Apart from the Japanese 🤷🏻♂️ Remember how German cars were considered nice toys for the city in summer back in the day when I was living in colder climates. And this characterization was not that...
Indeed they do…
Likewise the Range Rover. But it’s either for the wife or for oneself as a summer city runabout. It’s appreciated for the nice leather, decent infotainment (that was some years ago) and for the style - not for anything to do with reliability. These cars w...

When he would see his car's suspension drooped over in one corner or the other.
