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!

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.

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

Anything older than 3 Years can't be "officially" Imported 😁

Had a lot of fun together for 4 years, this thread brought back memories, was better looking then too 😄 ...  

Looking like great days 👍🏻🏁

Cadillac Escalades and Nissan Patrols trying to run you down

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... 

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...
