If I can sweet talk my bank manager I might be able to get a loan for the number 4 lug nut on the rear left wheel.

it has the sex appeal of an electric shaver.

I'll take one of these over the modern vehicles any day.

I dont like the Ferrari either, but i would easily pick it over those lawn movers above.

The Cobra is beautiful, though.

I can only afford its 1:18 and I believe you would too

Personally this one is more my taste, the F430 Spider

Meh, if I were to get a modern sportscar withing that price range would look towards Ascari.

Living in the United States, I have to consider two questions when dreaming about such cars

1. Where would you drive it? Our roads are crowded with unskilled/undisciplined/inconsiderate drivers and the roads themselves are not often high in quality. Driving a Ferrari only in first gear (which will probably get you a speeding ticket) is probably not good for the car.

2. Where would you park it? You park cars like that in a US parking lot and when you come back it will either be gone, stripped, vandalized, or at the very very least scratched by some jerk.

But they sure are nice to dream about though

Thats a horribile chassis. Ferrari lost it many years ago as far as design goes. The last great Ferrari was the 1985 Testarossa. Although my all time favorite is the Dino :

Now this is a concept car I would love to drive. Nothing comes close to this futuristic design, ok flying cars from Back to the Future 2 maybe.

Ferrari forever.

Id rather have the one of the flying cars from back to the future. lol they fly...

HunterICX · 10-11-09, 06:35 AM

If I would pick a car for it's design..I would go for this one:

Ferrari? Okay, but why travel so far to get a sports car if the good stuff is so much nearer to me. Porsche for me, one from the 911 line of cars. Simply classic in lines and looks.
