I have been drooling over the Ferrari Dino GT since I was 5 years old and had a little yellow toy Dino. I've seen a couple on the track and a couple in car shows but I've never seen one on the road until today.
I was walking home from the streetcar stop when I saw it parked down the street. The somewhat crappy photo is from my 19th floor apartment. I didn't have time to run down to take some street level pictures before I heard it fire up and blast down the road. It got me thinking again. There aren't many cars I'd trade the teener in for... And any of the those select cars would eat the teener as a down payment only... But is life really too short to not drive a Ferrari?  |

I have begun to really appreciate the sexiness of the classic Ferrari. I wouldn't trade a good 914 in for one because 1) You'd still have to come up with several 10,000 more dollars or so and 2) Even the Ferrari guys admit that the Porsche is the more reliable car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
BTW, there are many Ferrari guys out there who do try to do their own work and many more complain about the silly high prices they gotta pay for parts. But just like we have our passion for Porsche they have their fever for Ferrari. The classic Ferrari guys appreciate all older cars and are fun to chat with, many have owned a Porsche and/or currently own one...which gets driven more than the Ferrari (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Just my observations/experience based on FerrariChat.com BTW, my favorite Ferrari is the 4 person, MID-ENGINED Dino (later badged Ferrari) 308GT. Although, the Lamborghini Miura is one of my favorites as well (think 928 does a 914 doggy-style after steroid injections and Chianti)...
