Anyone remember the cool "Exotic Car" folders? They came out with a new series of like 8 per year. I had the new series every year of grade school. I remember my favorite was the Aston Martin Vantage at that time though :P |

Here is the inside!!!! Do you guys remember the plastic rings that could be opened by sliding the lever at the bottom? They would never close right either. |

I bought my first Ferrari, an 84 GTSI in 85 for 52,000. They gave me 26,000 for my 79 450SL as a trade in, so I jumped at that offer. I seem to have enjoyed the car back them more than I do now with my current 308. That was probably because I drove the car a lot more back then. I put 15,000 miles on it in a year and a half then sold it to a car dealer for 41,500. |

I don't think many of us here could afford one in the 80s, either that or they were not yet weened. I could afford one then but had much higher priorities {Food, Shelter, Clothing}. |

What was it like to own a Ferrari in the 80's? I remember the 80s but I was to young to drive let alone buy a Ferrari. I saw 308s and Testarossas on almost every trapper keeper, and lots of posters of them when I was in grade school in the 80s so I can only imagine what it was like to own a Ferrari then. |
