my personal dream car

this is my personal favorite. i got ride in a testarossa twice, it was the beautiful red, the first time i got to ride in it was when i was 8 years old, a older couple at the church i went to had it, after that first cruise around in it i was in love with it, 5 years later he calls me up and asks me if i want to go for another cruise in it, finally after years of nagging him for another ride i finally got too, he sold it a few months later, :( , but still to this day if i ever get myself settled in, im gonna buy a Testerossa.

yeah, it is a very beautiful car....

So, then, how do you like the 512? Looks are almost identical but it has a total performance edge.

:flamer: :badass: :monkeypis: :badass: :monkeypis: Gah! Gotta go with the 550 on this one. More modern and more quality... BTW: Enzo, you live in Eugene Oregon? My aunt lives in Warren and has a house in Sun River. How far are you from those places? :badass: :monkeypis: :badass: :monkeypis: :flamer:

Whoa, lotsa peeing people there...

I know what it's like, it's VERY hard to like any Ferrari after going for a ride in one particular type, but personally prefer the 512TR (not 512M) over the Testarossa. It's not so...80's. Almost the same outside except for a better front air dam, basically. Main selling point for me is the re-done interior. The interior of the old Testarossa's looks cheap with the hard materials and boxy styling. 512TR interior is way better (IMO). And since you spend 95% of your time inside a car in the cockpit, you might as well like it (other 5% in the trunk). Azzuro Blue over tan 512TR for me, please....

5% in the trunk? Maybe under the hood, but I don't really plan on being in my trunk for too long.

LOL! I like the 550. More refined, better interior, etc...

I don't know where warren is, but Sun river is about 2 hours.

Cool. It is pretty nice in Sun River.

yeah, it sure is. If you're ever in the area let me know and I'll take you to dinner, or do something exciting here in Eugene. We can go test drive some cars, maybe!

I remember my first and so far only ride in a Ferrari. It was my uncles 308. It was stolen a long time ago though, so I haven't riden (or driven) in one yet ever since :(

I will never forget my ride in that car.

I have a special place in my heart for the testarossa. It was my childhood favorite. I had a whole bunch of diecast models of that car. Damn, I loved it! Still do! Especially when my girlfriend's dad gave me a ride in his one time. It was the pinnacle of my whole entire life. :smoker2:

ferraris are nice, one of you said you lived in ohio, on thanks giving weekend i went to visit my girl in college(colombus, ohio state U) and i drove from there to canton , i had never seen so much open space or roads so long ,you must have a lot of fun in your cars.

If you think that ohio has open spaces i think you should visit Utah, its bland and open. great for driving, crap on the weekends. my dream car would also be a 512TR red with tan interior please. the only ferrari i have been in was a 360 modena, but i have never been in a moving ferrari :( , but i will once i get that red and tan 512, you can check it out at www.newportautosport.com that is the car i want baby! some day...

Can I....uh...Sit on you:cwn27: :huh:

hahaha.......uhhh, sure. j/k

amazing cars the testarossa are. I pulled up behind one at a gas station. man what a day. got to talk to the owner. He traded a nicely restored packard for the testarossa. He said that the maintenance on that beast was hell. 5 years or 5000 miles and you have to get the engine serviced. which involves lifting the car off the engine if i remember correctly and costed a lot. not really a daily driver. but man. when he started that thing i felt it. that many pistons pumping was incredible.

i don't believe you wrote that...i just went to michigan and had to go through ohio to get there and it was hell. at one point we literally couldn't go a minute w/o a pig checking our speed (we had a radar detector). we hated it so much we drove back to pa through canada

then i guess i was lucky, i was actualy scared of the pigs too, im dark sckined and they look like KKK members
