    Both my cars have soul that stirs emotions everytime I think I'm going to drive her. The feeling so far does not diminish but gets stronger.

    And my Porsche is faster than either of my Ferraris. But I still want to replace it with a 308 that has intermediate performance to my other two. Yet this makes perfect sense to me.

    I work on and drive Ferrari's every day. While there are many great cars out there now, for some reason Ferrari's are the ones that always make me smile.

    The story of Enzo Ferrari not meeting with Ferrucio Lamborghini at his Ferrari factory because Ferrucio wanted to talk about somethings that he found was not happy about the Ferraris he owned and that then he left and decided to build his own exotics is completely false, it never happened, Bob Wallace talked about that story and he said that it was all a marketing stunt.

    Some Ferraris and exotics may well be overrated, but mine certainly isn't. :)

    Sorry it doesn't make sense to you. I have read everyones comments
    and I agree with almost every one. And yes I should have replaced
    the words unreliable with quarky character, But it was just a point
    of interest, something to ponder, please don't take anything I say serious
    ever.

    Say you're driving 35 mph through a 25 mph zone on a dark, narrow street in a densely packed, urban neighborhood where both sides are just jam-packed with sleeping cars... somehow there's a reason to do a double-take... stop if traffic allows... if not, perhaps even turn around to make sure your imagination wasn't playing games... to confirm that is indeed mid-70's Italian rolling art. "I'll be damned. Here? Hope nobody fncks with it."

    While out and about, the aforementioned happened tonight in East Hollywood where Thai Town meets Little Armenia.

    A non-"exotic" wouldn't get that reaction. Same deal in 2-way traffic - "is that a?... there it goes... "

    Nope, Viper is the next best thing. Drive one and you'll know.
