Reading the comments on this; don’t get all the hate. People are talking about these cars like they universally have Yugo-level reliability. I have had mine for 11 years; bought it new in 2007. Have put almost 130k miles on it and literally can count on one hand the number of non-maintenance, non wear-item jobs…
Wow, I never noticed that before. That’s all I’ll see now! You may be onto something there.
We refer to it as “bitch fish” on my wife’s 2016 S. Can’t keep that fish happy no matter how boring (I mean, “economically”) you try to drive...
Just wait. That 240 will be worth every penny once that sweet, sweet mahogany display case surfaces.
“It has never seen rain or put on the street other than in August...”
I remember the exhausts on these things actually sounding really cool (at the time; been years, so I may puke if I heard it today...). It had an almost “mechanical” sound to it...if that makes any sense. A friend had a Pontiac Sunbird of the same era and I remember that car sounding similar. Anyone remember that?
Hey, me too. Same age and everything. Mine’s pretty easy to spot around here as well; think I’m the only one that DOESN’T have blacked-out badges. Stock muffler here too; had the car since ‘07 and never really had the desire to change it. Damn thing already sounds aftermarket anyway.
Fantastic article!
Turned my old 5Zigen GT8s into a pair of end tables about 15 years ago; been using them ever since.
Yeah, I definitely lowballed the leather.
Hey, a Twilight Zone horn would be pretty cool.
I’m laughing to myself thinking about this being a box to click on a modern online configurator.
So true.
Wow, Ferrari has finally gone off the rails with this branded merchandise.
I remember that commercial coming out, and thinking it was odd that they were featuring a car that they just pulled the plug on.
I can’t help but think that when McLaren designed the rear hatch on the 570GT they made it open sideways as a subtle “flip-off” to everyone that pined for a “practical” McLaren.
I’m thinking option 1. The more time I spent driving my dream car, the happier I’d be at checkout time. Plus, if I had a lump in my armpit that could come to life and make that happen chances are my clock is already ticking, so at that point we’re just accelerating towards the inevitable.
