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.

or

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

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

Like any classic or expensive car, road trip on Sunday and car shows.

Ferrari's have never done it for me. Gimme an Aston Martin DB9 anytime.

FIREWALL · 10-10-09, 05:10 PM

If your going to worry about where and when... You can't afford it.

Well, that'll keep me from ever wanting one.

Is not like most could afford any of the mentioned cars, but I suspect there is a border discretion going on here.
