The maintainance costs would kill ya if the kidney sale didn't.

I just wish it was possible to buy a street legal Wiesmann in the US.

How many kidneys do you have?

How many low mileage testarossas do you have?

Do the maths.

(I only say that because of the tan interior).

And besides... Ferraris are supposed to be RED!

Just don't.

They're silly cars and they break constantly.

Besides, Missy Elliot will come and beat the crap out of you. It's probably hers.

And besides... Ferraris are supposed to be RED!

It is acceptable that they also be black with tan interiors. (Some people regard these as superior).

I'm just saying.

Testarossa sounds like a delicious Italian dessert. Yum.

Aesthetically speaking, black and tan isn't a bad combo, but Italian racing red has a long history. It's akin to british racing green, german racing silver, or french racing blue.

I guess I'm a bit of a traditionalist in these matters.

Wasn't green (or was it white?) the original Italian GP colour?

I probably don't have the self assurance to drive something red. But if you aren't racing for your country, I reckon you can drive whatever colour you fancy. I'm not Italian. I do like British Racing Green, and those silver Audis (or whatever they were - the power-sliders) always looked good. French blue? I'm being serious here; who were they?

Testarossa sounds so much like you are driving a substitute for testosterone.

I'd be happy if I could snag me a low-mileage redhead!

Nope, Italy was all red with white numbers. Nino Farino drove a red Alfa in the very first F1 GP in 1950, and I believe the Alfas that dominated the Mille Miglia in the 20s and 30s were all red as well.

I agree that you can drive whatever color you like, but I can't help quelch my inner traditionalist. Though I must admit that I have a soft spot in my heart for a BMW M in Laguna Seca Blue.

As for Franch race cars, Renault is the big one for GP racing, and they're still out there today. (In fact, they're leading the 2006 drivers and constructors chapionships.)

Bugatti, Matra and Talbot were also French Blue.

The ferraristi consider the last Testarossas to be awfully naff, and the styling has not aged well at all. The prices for those cars has been stuck around $80K for a decade, while most other comparables have risen steadily.

I grew up on Miami Vice. I have no choice but to want a Testarossa. Fuck, I'd probably buy a pastel sport jacket too.
