    I was a C&D subscriber since the 4th grade (1984 to 2009 when all the old writers had finally left) and a recent post in the black TR thread brought back the memory of this magazine that arrived in my mailbox so many years ago. Click on Slideshow for a better view.

    I'm pretty sure it subconsciously influenced me to marry a redhead and buy a flying mirror black TR many years later!

    I'm sorry I can't resist saying this no matter how inappropriate...

    If you married a black girl with red hair....

    Get it?? Black red head for a black red head!! :D

    LOL...that would be great but I'm not sure I could talk her into getting her hair done 80s style and doing a shot like that. My birthday is coming up...hmmm.

    My intro to the Testarossa was most definitely Miami Vice. I still remember the episode where Crockett learned of his new undercover car and was raving "340 HP under the hood", etc, haha.

    Ok--that's it. I have to do this.

    One daughter has red hair....same length as in pic. She is also a hairdresser in Corona del Mar. I think she'd be up to the challenge....stick her in the black '86 TR. Now have to find a cheap pair of yellow sunglasses....I'll get on it...

    My first and third girlfriends were both red heads. I can't wait!

    People tell my better half she looks like Susan Sarandon all the time...She just doesn't have the longer hair as the pic. It is in the works!!!
