I miss the days when Ferrari took race cars seriously.

Speaking of 308s, I'd personally like to get a Dino GT4. Totally not sexy by any means, but it has that late 70s early 80s wedge sports car vibe that some of us (cough) old (cough) folks (cough) grew up lusting after. I've seen nice ones in the $20K range. Plus, it has a back seat, which is also a bonus for us old folks.

Speaking of 70s Italians ...


The Montreal is such a yacht, it's cool to see in rally trim.
