Whoopsy:Weird me, on this thread, the only car that excites me is the 1938 6C 2300B MM, everything else I don't find attractive haha. Certainly not the Ferrari.
Each to his own . Having said that how many hybrid or electric vehicles ( or should I say appliances?) do you own now ?
I know, beauty of free market, everyone can pick and choose whatever they fancy, there are no wrong choices.
3 EVs and 3 hybrids now. But the GT4RS is waiting for me and the Dakar and GT3RS is ordered. Still searching for the right 928GTS. Always on the lookout for that perfect 89 Speedster. Still in talks with my builder to build me a Ford 3 window hotrod.
I may have migrated towards the brand new world, but the oldies aren't forgotten.

. I was just teasing you. 928 on my to do list as well, and I wish I could get a 4RS allocation. I do find it amusing how all the journalists have now suddenly lost all their misgivings about the weight penalty of hybrids. I guess it’s the torque fix they get. The 296 GTB has been a revelation to me as well, but I still would not have it over a 458 Speciale.

Have you heard the story about the Corvette development team at General Motors? They originally had a Ferrari 458 as a benchmark for the new C8 Corvette. That car was replaced with a new 488. The engineers found it so lacking in character that they convinced GM’s management to get another 458. The last of the normally aspirated Ferrari V8s served as the inspiration for the Corvette Z06 which addresses any torque inadequacies with displacement.

Of everything I have owned, that's the one car I regret selling.
Josef:Speaking of old Alfas, below two oldies from my family:
Nice! I had a client who restored old Alfas, he had quite the set of oldies in his garage. But alas he was a terrible client, so when the house was done I was thankful to never have to return, vintage Italian machinery and all.
