    I had an experience last night that Id like to share. I might ramble a bit, but I hope you guys can appreciate. I was out to dinner for my 30th bday with my mother, grandmother and cousin. It was down on the water here in southern california, and on the way home I thought I would take the long way and stay on the coast as long as possible. While driving I spotted a beautiful 360 waiting at a light to pull out onto PCH. I love seeing any fcar, so that made my long way home worth it. Quickly after I had to take my turn to head inland, up a wide but still only single lane canyon road. Sure enough after I get about a quarter mile up the road I see a shape approaching from behind which could only be a ferrari. Now Im in a 4 door cadillac with my 80 year old grandmother in the passenger seat, so Im going slow. I rolled down my window, waved my arm out, and pulled over enough to give him room. He quickly (but nothing crazy) passed by and right then i was hooked. the sound, the yellow color, the looks of the challenge grill he had, it was all perfect. even all 3 women with me were impressed. by the time we rounded the next corner he was gone. nice ending on my birthday. amazing what a simple encounter like that can do. i always figured when the time was right, id sell my 308 and upgrad to a 360. now im certain...

    Ross- Same thing happened to me, only in a different generation, and the car was a turquoise 250 LWB California in Palos Verdes in 1963. With what looked like the widest wheels I had ever seen (probably 6"). Times change and cars change, but the impressions and first love remain forever.
