Nope, the aftermarket detracts, I don’t care who did the work.

Love the ECU just sitting in the passenger footwell...If they couldn’t position this critical component properly, what other corners did they cut? ND

So, I worked at an LR/RR/Jag dealership right out of college, and I can tell you they have a shit load of courses and presentations they put you through to teach you to spot suspicious transactions. Contrary to popular belief, most people don’t just plop down cash or checks when they go to buy a car. That should have…

If only that were true. Here in God’s Waiting Room, FL, the Cryptkeepers LOVE the damned things. The bangs and booms are already going and it’s only 2pm!

Yeah, still a right of passage though.

Yeah you say that but that very thing happened to me last year.....being a 53 year old white guy in a redneck town probably helped lol. He called it a fuzz buster lol.

That judge is both a hero and comically lazy.

Next time you get pulled over, try this, not only will it speed the whole stop up, it will lead to an immensely friendlier stop.

Beat me to it... If I have the cash to afford (buy + maintain) a $70k Ferrari from the ‘80s, then I’m going to pony up for a newer one. I guess the equation would be different if I were the one doing the wrenching.

If you can afford to own it ... you can also afford to buy a newer, nicer one. So, you would actually have to want THIS Ferrari, not just any Ferrari.

Oh, I agree completely; you have to want THIS one. If you do, then this is the right price, IMO. I also agree with you that these are just so beautiful. Unfortunately for me, the world is full of cars I can afford to buy, but not own!

Is newer “nicer” though? This car has always been one of my bucket list cars TBH, and to me, the design language, the history, just everything about this work. Like, yeah you probably could get a newer one if you could afford to own this one, but they don’t seem to have the soul or something that this one has.

Nice price, but it also raises one of the quirks involved in buying a car like this: if you can afford to own it (not buy it; I can afford to buy it, but not own it), you can also afford to buy a newer, nicer one. So, you would actually have to want THIS Ferrari, not just any Ferrari.

This. My 80 year old mom has one. It’s 4 years old and has 7k miles on it. There are 5 other ones in the parking lot at her assisted living facility. Since most of the residents don’t drive anymore, that’s nearly half of the cars.

Love that she’s so nonchalant about letting it be repo’d.  Christ.

... or AC.

Agreed. Slow car fast and all is only fun when you can row your own. Doing 0-60 in 10 seconds in a 3 speed slush box isn’t very appealing. 

Cast iron is the right cookware for most situations. Anything else is for advanced techniques or regional cuisines. If I had nothing but a set of cast iron cookware, I could still cook pretty much everything I like to eat.

Rooibos is wonderful - I got into it during a period when I stopped having caffeine.

We all have a favorite pot, pan, spatula or bowl...this is nothing more than a story about someone’s favorite and having worked in restaurants back in the day I see the point of the story.  I don’t know if it is worthy of an article but maybe it’s a slow day, and I cannot imagine what being a creative type with a…
