    Some of us have more cars than are driveable. It's that simple.

    It's so typical today - "Why isn't everybody else like me?!?!?!" If they don't do like I do then they're wrong! If they buy their cars let them drive them, or not drive them, maybe they stay in their climate controlled garages and are starred at like a piece of fine art, maybe they're bought thinking if they're not driven at all for many years they'll appreciate greatly (like the 993 Porsches did)... who knows it's not for anyone else to judge or criticize simply because they don't do like you do. The average Bugatti owner has over 40 cars think those get driven? These aren't Prius cars or work trucks . I guarantee when Ferrari makes their SUV those will get driven and when they do you will see some serious depreciation like you've never seen before. There are MANY here that have no issues with money, buying cars then flipping them in 6 mo's or less good for them, the loss they feel is acceptable for ohers it is pain they can't deal with

    exactly. i have 30k miles on my FF cuz it was driveable in many more circumstances than the other cars i have.

    try leaving your house at 6am in a 512tr that wakes everyone up and hope it makes it to the train station and leave that there all day. thats enjoyable.

    Honest question for "Ferrari 308", why would you prefer carbs over EFI in your dream car?

    I was thinking in terms of it being a 'stick' manual tranny,which goes with carbs like peaches n cream.

    The induction sound as air sucks in,although on very high powered cars nowadays with equally loud exhausts,it might be difficult to hear.

    Carbs are easier to tinker with ,if you are so inclined,in theory should cost less too.

    Of course they lose out on economy,emissions etc etc

    e,g 308GTB or 308GTBi ,512 BB or 512 BBi each one has its followers
