Those sensual curves are wasted on that blue even if it is satin.

Ferrari = Red. Done.

Car sightings, Miami style...

Blue Ferrari = no

Note that it's satin blue. Does that change your evaluation?

While I think bikes should be painted in all the obnoxious colors of the rainbow, I'm a pretty firm believer that cars should be black. Period.

I'd take one in a light metallic blue with a dark blue or brown interior. I mean any car, not just a Ferrari.

^^^^ deeeeeeenooooooo works in more colors than any other Ferrari for my money. Yellow, green, silver, blue ... even red.

[72gmc]

Even orange and white! Though I'm not really digging the white.

Had it not been the for the hanging airfreshner; this car would be completely unacceptable. Attention to detail is ALWAYS key...

The Dino is/was an amazing car but let's not confuse them with "real" Ferraris.

god i still remember when dinos were garbage and no one wanted them. same with TRs / 512s.

and now in like the last 2 years even the 308gt4 has doubled and people are seeing its fake ferrari charm.

what's next, a 355 gtb or gts ripping upward? in silver? with a black or blue interior? six speed gated? hang on, i should probably wipe the drool off of my keyboard. oooohhhh the "unwanted" 25 year old ferrari, how you never fail as an investment!

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the menacing Wrangler in the background.

Nope, not one bit

Stuff that Ferrari nonsense.

How about a Datsun Fairlady convertible with some weird-ass greenhouse hardtop thing? Way more rare than some Dino.

[NYCfixie]

Let's be clear, the 308GT is a Ferrari even if it only had 8 cylinders. The Dino was branded a Dino and is not a Ferrari.

To clarify, it's a commuter on which I will put low miles. The truck had 190k miles on it when I bought it, but it had good service records and was owned by an individual who didn't seem as if she was ramming it through snow banks etc during its previous life.

Nicely done. We got my wife's and my cars settled Monday and today respectively, just in time to turn Angela Merkel (nickname of our TDI) back in. Got my wife a 2010 Outback up in Asheville, ate dinner with her parents, and today, after determining the head gaskets were probably OK after some question but tracking the original owner down via the internet, and learning the rest of the it was tidy, I scored the ultimate party wagon for my usage: a pretty cherry '98 Toyota minvan. I turn 32 tomorrow and am not mad about a van.

Now back to Ferarris and crap.

Wasn't the Opel GT sort of a cheap riff on the Dino?





Definitely looked like an Opel with its googly eyes and not a Ferrari but there are borrowed elements. They even made a blue one.

[Matthew Strongin]

More Miami style car sightings...yes, he opened the door while driving for some added flair.

That's just how Lamborghini Diablos wave.
