One Day at a Time

This weekend my needy '83 400i auto emerged from another extended stay in sick bay, just in time for some great SF Bay Area spring weather, and she's running great. This time it was 8 or 9 weeks off the road, and most members will laugh to hear that the reason was to pull the oil cooler hoses and have them rebuilt, will laugh that it could take this long for such a simple job. I could bore you with the details but I won't, because the point of this post is only to share happy thoughts. I was just watching a video of a collector car guy's 212 Inter backing off a trailer -- http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/vintage-thru-365-gtc4-sponsored-vintage-driving-machines/441684-ferrari-212-inter-ghia-0145e.html -- and it occurred to me how much of the very high dollar Ferrari V12 experience we 365/400/412 owners get to enjoy at a huge discount from the price of a 212 or similar. It just hit me, I also have got a V12 Ferrari in my driveway, that I can hop in at any time and throw it around the corners and wind it up to 6500 and generally scare the pee out of myself. Thank you Enzo! Thank you Fiat!
