At my golf club this afternoon we had a get-together where folks (who have them) can bring and show their antique car. As I was talking to my friends, the subject came up about how much we spend on our hobbies (like photography). Turns out this particular car is worth roughly ½ MILLION dollars because of its design and limited number produced (about 20 made, they said). Anyway, for you Ferarri fans, enjoy!

Kindness. Compassion. Understanding. Respect. Courtesy.
I try to live up to these words. Do you?
Film? What do you mean, film?

What could a great driver really do with a Yugo? :-)

Does anyone even remember Yugos? Maybe a Chevette would have been a better example.

Unfortunately I have had to invoke the command your license plate discribes!

As an old Porsche mechanic I have to ask a question. Your car has the turbo tail but not the turbo body. Am I correct in assuming it's a mid-80's Carrera?

Enviously yours!

Perhaps not a Yugo but a good driver in a Honda Civic can EASILY beat a crappy driver in a Porsche, Corvette, Ferrari, etc. (on an autocross course at least). I've seen it happen many times. You have to be a good driver before the car starts making any difference at all. A grand piano doesn't make a beginner a virtuoso, and a 1Ds won't make a beginner take good pictures either. Powerful sports cars are A LOT more difficult to drive at the limits than one might think.

Cheers, Joe

Fantastic.... It'd be my pick as one of the most enjoyable drives I've had. Handling +++. Loved it. (On a Porsche driving day)

I wish Ferrari had such a thing.. hehe fat chance...
