Not to mention one of the best looking cars ever built. A red 250GT SWB
Berlinetta tearing up Telegraph road in the middle of the night at
135mph. Memories are made of things like that.

A friend had a 1985 Testarossa. Fun car, but it really ruined the
Ferrari mystique for me. While it sounded amazing and was awesome to
drive, the fit and finish was no better than my 86 Hyundai. The
interior finish was absolutely atrocious. I understand they are
better now, but I've not been able to drive a newer model.
I don't know about that, Christian. Ferraris, at least the old ones,
were never all that well finished in terms of upholstery and paint.
They put all their money on the mechanicals and attended to the
interior with casual "it doesn't make it go any faster" panache. My all
time favorites, the 1961-62 250SWBs, were little more than racing cars
with a couple of leather seats and a floor mat, road lighting. Forget
air conditioning, sound deadening, and all that rubbish.
But, man, they were fun to drive!
