Todd - I'm quite familiar with the rule. They beat you over the head about it at the vehicle registration office in Gricignano. That's why I...
Figure it's time to update this thread. Bought a very clean 1999 318i to use as a beater. Wife has managed to run into an inanimate object with...
I've seen those. Great series. Too bad the prices have jumped; tough to find a Urraco or Merak for under $30,000 unless it's been wrecked. Can...
Arrived in Naples on 1 July. So far, so good. Have been focused on buying some temporary transportation for now. Don't want to rush into buying a...
Anyone have any experience with the Maserati Merak? These just hit my radar screen. Fairly rare, but I should be able to find one in my price...
David - I'll arrive 1 July. Was headed there sooner, but boss didn't want to have any underlap here in Korea. I'll be working at JFC-Naples....
What about the 400/400i/412's? Those aren't outrageously expensive. I'm not a huge fan of their looks, but they're not that bad. Here's one on...
Onno - Appreciate the feedback. I realize that buying a bargain Ferrari might not be the smartest way to go about this, but I will have a...
Todd - Are you going to buy something nice or something for home protection? I've always wanted a nice double barrel, but I prefer the look...
Mark - Yes, I've done some research and I'm tracking the burglaries in Lago Patria. That still happens. If I live in a gated parco I should...
Mark - I'm already hooked up with someone from my new office. A few of them, actually. Just need to find someone local who is familiar with...
I do value my marriage, but that doesn't mean I'm going to take the easy road here. Wife knows I have a car problem. I know my wife has a...
Thanks, Todd. That's very helpful. Pretty good chance that we'll end up with 3 cars. Scott
I'm 6'4", 230 lbs, work out 5x a week, and can handle myself. It would take someone with a lot of guts and not much sense to try and shake me...
I'm quite familiar with impractical cars in big cities. I went to grad school in New Orleans in the late 90's. Was bartending in the French...
As mentioned earlier, I'll be living and working outside Naples -- 35 km N/NW. Don't think it will be as bad as Naples proper. Thanks Scott
I can do without power steering. Not fun when parking, but do-able. I'm ok with sh*tty gas mileage, too. Plan to do my own service, but...
The prices on 308 GT4s are all over the map, but I do see some that are within reach. Didn't know that's how the road taxes worked. My GTO...
Still looking, but have narrowed things down a bit - -Fiat Dino Coupe, preferable 2.4 -Alfa Romeo GTV 1750 -Dino/Ferrari 308 GT4 Think I can...
Yes, I'm likely too big for the 208/308/328. Actually, I can afford to keep the 348 that I would buy for $30k. Don't mistake my budget for the...
