    They look awesome. I for one love both of them. It's hard to decide which one is better as they are both great looking. Maybee do both and give owners a choice?

    What is wrong with people? I know hate is a strong word but, I hate that people cant keep their paws off of things. I can also tell it was'nt a pro trying to steal it just some punk ass kid. Are you the one who just got this car and traded in the 360 Coupe? Either way I feel for you as this happened in my 86 Lotus Esprite Turbo three days after I got it. I wish you the best and back on the road very soon. Rob

    Yeah, I just got the car 7/14, traded in a 430 coupe for it. Had it exactly 1 week and this happened.

    Like Charles mentioned about the home DVR surveillance system, you can purchase one at Costco.com very reasonably priced and if your handy easy to install. If anything goes wrong it can be returned anytime. I purchased a Direct TV receiver five years ago from Costco and started having problems, returned for a full refund. I LOVE Costco. No where else can you get this service. And yes I purchased a system at Costco.com two years ago and it protects my property 24/7. Here's their security page with lots to choose from;

    Best piece of mind insurance. Speaking of insurance, you may qualify for additional $$$ off your homeowners?

    Car is secure in my garage. This had to happen when I left it unattended at a restaurant last Sat night for a couple hours. I thought it would be fine, I guess not. Typically I will have the car in view or be away from it for a very short period of time in an area I am very comfortable with. It is a shame.

    ok wow...the more I look at it the more it fuels the desire for a truly classic Ferrari in my garage! hmmm....how much for a 'fix-er-upper'? lol

    I saw 4 real GTO's together this year at Cavallino AND got some great shots of them racing on track. stunning!

    I am guessing of the 39 true GTO's produced from 1962-64 are already near pristine, even the ones being used for racing, like they are made to do. A "fixer upper" would probably cost a mere $20,000,000 - $25,000,000. Anyone remember how much the Lime Rock GTO front end accident a couple years ago added up to? I think it was near the $300,000 mark. That's a whole 599 GTO these days. WOW

    Frank,

    Very sorry to read about this. I don't know what to say. I'm at a loss for words.

    Thanks for posting this link. I have always had lackluster results with security systems and therefore I've avoided installing one at our home. The nuisance always outweighed the benefit. However, due to recent events at our home and in the neighborhood it appears that I'll be installing the dreaded system. Will definitely be installing on the garage which houses the Fcars.

    It's a shame that we have to live like this.

    - Ed -

    PS may also be in the market for a couple of firearms for home protection. So guys post up the links for recommendations.

    Probably will stop by in one of the daily drivers. Have new AGM battery for F-car and materials to connect Guest marine charger to it... so that'll be my project afterward. Looks like 60% rain & t-storm probability tomorrow AM.

    I just looked at my BMWCCA decal and it has a white background with an outline in black. I noticed that the black disappears. I think the new ones i posted would have to have white backgrounds or white text.

    I like the shield but would prefer a yellow field and really don't like the "cars and coffee" phrase.

    I like the shield in white with the flags. Looks clean that way.
