The Perfect F430 Companion Car

Earlier this year while driving home in my first Ferrari, a silver on black F430, I got this sinking feeling. I was realizing that the F430 could not be my only car for various reasons. I needed to buy another car to supplement the Ferrari. So, I checked this forum for advice and found nothing good. I kept finding, "Well, I am going to keep my Scuderia because the 458 Italia is slower off the line and my wife likes the McLaren..." and "I commute to work in my Porsche GT2 and save my 599 and Lambo for the weekends." and "here is my red CS parked next to my red Scud."

Since MY wife has a "One Supercar" policy, and I have a "Try to Stay Married" policy, I derived the following test to determine the perfect companion car. I am posting it here in case anyone else is having the same issue I did.

The secret is to make the other car as different as possible, so the highest score is one where all the "yes" answers below are answered with "no" for the prospective companion car, and visa versa. I started with a few simple observations about the Ferrari to devise the following test.

Cutting to the chase, the perfect companion car for an F430 is a 1998 Honda Civic with 150k+ miles. I'll post a few pictures of the two next to each other in the garage if anyone is interested. Here is how the Honda scores on my F430 companion car matrix:

1. Turn indicator is loader than engine: F-car: N, Civic: Y

I hope this helps. Love this forum and the great advice. Thanks.
