    The testarossas are aesthetically appeasing as well to me anyways, provided you are living in flat south Florida with pastel golf shirts and sports coats ;)

    I was the same way, I loved cars, particularly ones that I could actually afford someday like mustangs and camaros. I told myself that as soon as I had my own garage I'd buy either an older Mustang or Camaro for a project build.

    Of course, now that I'm older I have absolutely no interest in owning a pony car. Give me a nice handling sports sedan any day.

    Would be a fun thread to post your favorite car made the year you graduated high school.

    schlot you have excellent taste in cars! I've been a Ford nut since I was a wee kid......also loved the Porsches and vintage Ferraris, as well as Lamborghinis.

    Going to the Ford Nationals in Carlisle this weekend, I'll be checking out a couple of authentic GT40's along with tons of vintage Shelby wares in the 50th Anniversary Shelby tent....

    Thanks man...say do me a favor will you? Pick up something for me from there. I'm not picky...it's doesn't even have to be a Gt40. A Boss 429 works too. :)

    As far as attainable cars I really wanted but decided were bad ideas due to insurance.
    Every now and then I see a cream puff some middle aged guy with kids has to remove from his garage. Late 80's IROC Z black with red pin striping

    My wife's dad had a testarossa when they first came out, also a couple 911s of various flavors, and other nice toys.

    He was in San Francisco area.
