    All good, Michael Schumacher is one of my heroes. It changed recently after this thread.

    What keeps me up at night is the fact that given Schumacher can have any car he wants, yet he decided to drive a SUV and Wagon as his daily drivers.

    oh the humanity.

    I used to respect Schumacher, now I know he’s just a faker poseur and impure, no wonder he crashed in the alps. Also, I noticed this months Ferrari magazine repeated many things I stated in this very thread…they must have drank my cool-aid.

    don’t be so mad man, you’ve convinced me! We are in full agreement, I, actually think of starting an Oldsmobile appreciation forum. I just wonder if we can convince Ferrari Spa of adding juke boxes in. a car, that would be soooo retro cool. Not digital either, like full vinyl mechanics and all.

    Uh, ok. That’s good for you?

    I have no idea what any of that rant has to do with me but you do you. :) I’m not mad in the least. I think you might have me confused with someone else here. BTW Schumacher is also one of my heroes.

    You do know I’ve owned an SUV and currently drive a truck right? Why so much anger?

    Well 'Ross' will no doubt sign up as a charter member... :D

    if Dr. Oldsmobile can throw off those chains he may be able to 'free' another recruit to.

    Surely your local dealer who must have it 'available to share' could have answered you in the past week since you first asked here !

    As Marcel pointed John Elkann, current president of Ferrari, recently showed his Purosangue in St Moritz.
    Although Rosso is a color that identifies with Ferrari and suits well a Ferrari big boss, honestly I don't like the gold wheels and it seems to me that he could have opted for another color that would have worked much better.

    Is this Rosso Scuderia or a one-off color? Do you have any reference data?

    At least he didn't get shields. This car has no business ever wearing shields. Ever.

    You can always put me on ignore if these 'rants' bother you my friend. I've been here a long time, and if you ask folks, I'm extremely petty, and have a long memory. If you want to play, I love mud, so up to you if you enjoy slinging with pigs. I always do, and you're right, it's a sickness of mine.

    ****
    Lamborghini set another sales record in 2022 and is sold out into 2024

    Delivered 9,233 vehicles worldwide, a 10% increase over its previous best set the prior year.

    The Urus SUV accounted for more than half of the sales with 5,367, followed by the entry level Huracan sports car at 3,113 and top of the line Aventador 753 in its last year of production.

    What I don't understand, is how/why folks say this would hurt the next Aventador/Huracan?

    It's been my experience the Ford F-150s success *helps* not *hurts* the next Corvette's prospects.

    ****
    But I yield, I saw this ad this morning.

    The humanity, can you believe Enzo sold out?!?!?!

    Oh wait, this advert from Enzo is 50 years old huh? but but but...purity, passion, focus... uhgh

    Nevermind, won't stop the revisionist history buffs from spinning their own reality in their minds.
    Why?
    Well, purity and all.

    Only one current production Ferrari races, and that's the 296. So should the others not have shields as well?

    I have no problem with you or any of your rants. I wouldn't put you on ignore as I appreciate hearing contrarian thought and I find you quite entertaining. Differing opinions are the spice of life! Although I'm still not sure why you sometimes like to single me out and call me a "luddite" for not agreeing with you but perhaps I just don't get your sense of whit yet. :)

    Like I've said a thousand times, if the Purosangue equates to more F1 Championships and possibly a LeMans victory they can make all they want. Hell, they can even sell a special Kardashian edition for all I care. :D

    That horse has long since left the barn! :D IMO if people want to pay for shields they should get them on any model they want.

    Marcel Wulms has lost the battle against the Dutch dealer, the 80,000 Euros in compensation and has been ordered to pay legal costs, for which he will have to pay just over 1,692 Euros. And Ferrari has gotten away with it, it will not sell the Purosangue to any client that does not meet its requirements, and presuming that its will is a law that is truly fulfilled.
