    Well I went and bought my second TR.....in grigio metallizato/tan. I drove 2,000 miles round trip to buy it and haul it home over 3 days....what a rough drive it was too! The color combination is very striking in person, pictures do not do it justice. As you can see from the wet and snow it's just a great time to be here in Michigan! My nero black metallic TR is sold and the new owner is picking it up soon. But I couldn't resist getting some pics of both cars in my driveway. In our small town of about 10,000 pop. this is a pretty rare (like.....never...!) occasion and I had to record it for posterity. Traffic practically stopped several times as people drove by the house....gawking at the cars. As you can probably tell I'm just a average guy with an average midwest house, nothing fancy. But at least I do own a Ferrari...so you can see I have my priorities straight.

    Wow, those are great pics. Looks cold there! Love the new TR, what year is it? I guess if you drove it 2000 miles you know you got a great working car. Congratulations!!

    Awesome color and wheel combination! As for being an average guy... If for nothing else, getting people to get these fine cars out on the roads rather than cloistered away in dark garages or out-of-the-way dealerships improves the very appearances of our streets.

    Ferrari's are rolling art, after all. Art is to be seen and enjoyed by all, owners and admirers alike. I don't care if Joe Average makes $30,000 or $30 Million per year...but I'd prefer that in either case that he drives something that improves the looks of our roads.

    Warren Buffett can make and spend money by the armload, but he drives a clunker pickup that detracts from the looks of Nebraska roads. That sort of aesthetic disrespect for our environment is deplorable, especially for someone of means. He may be wealthy, but he'll die without knowing beauty...a waste.

    The opposite side of the spectrum might be the military kid who goes on a 6 month submarine cruise where he **can't** spend any money...comes home and pays cash for a pretty Ferrari Mondial...reads F-chat...does his own maintenance...and enjoys the beauty of the marque each day.

    That kid is **alive** in a way that Warren Buffett will never know. His world is prettier than Buffett will ever experience. More fun, too.

    I want to see more of those kids and fewer of the rich types who disdain beauty in their lives. Do you want more Leona Helmsley's in this world, or more Xzibit's?!

    Who is having more fun?!

    Both cars look fantastic. So much better than red. Why the change, if you don't mind me asking?

    Jeff,
    I love that color combination. You must bring it out to some of the MI get togethers'. In what part of MI do you live? We have a good group of FCA members on the east side.

    Ditto on the rims, I wouldn't have thought that would be a good combo but I was wrong. Nice to see an F-car in my type of neighborhood. "Salt of the earth" people need fun cars too.
