Calm down gramps.

I see that, and all I can think of is this:

shoulda brought the wagon.... its nice

Stick? Check. Brown? Check. Old and quirky? Check and Check.

Early Z3? M Roadsters are expensive but I think there’s a not-the-smallest engine option Z3 that’s supposed to be decent. I would say “early Boxster” but everybody will reply that they are too expensive to take care of. (I think you could do one under budget if you don’t put a ton of miles on it.)

I cannot applaud you enough for shopping for a fun convertible and having the good sense to say no to a Miata, the pumpkin spice latte of convertibles

Well, if you don’t want a Miata, I can’t really help you, but this might:

Judging by the front quarter, if they lowered it, they’d have a 2012 Mazda3.

You know if you lowered it, that would be pretty good looking. It’d also probably handle better. Get a bit better gas mileage too.

He’s wrong of course. It looks like a Honda Accord Coupe.

All I see is a Focus on stilts, with the ass of a RAV4

RIP, Escala.

The Z in Z/28 Z06 and ZR1 are already for Zora, as is the Z in DZ302.

Prediction: Someone is going to steal a car from the show because the security companies probably have a geo-fence around their cars. With the alarms consistently going off, they will shut down the geo-fencing alarm and someone will take a car.

No I think it’ll still be a Motor Show

Prediction:

Design-wise this is an upgrade from the 488 in my eyes! Still not quite as elegantly beautiful as the 458 Italia, but definitely looks more sorted and less busy than the 488 design. I love the return to the 4 circle rear lights as well. Great throwback to some of the best, and prettiest, Ferraris ever.

Am I alone in thinking Ferrari hit their high point (in the past 20 years) with the 458 and the F12 and now they’re getting increasingly uglier?
