"All They Said Was Pull Over The Red Ferrari" πŸ€£πŸ˜‹πŸ˜†

    There'd be nothing left of a cop but bones and his rusted out car if he was waiting to pull over a Ferrari of any sort around here.

    Greatguns? Is that you??

    Beautiful cars, if a bit limited in color selection. I'd never have any use for one of those fire breathing monsters but I'd love to see (and hear) that procession flyin' down the interstate.

    Probably just a group of highly paid ballplayers trying to get to the stadium in time......πŸ˜€

    The Ferrari Car Club in the past has used Watkins Glenn International track on Labor Day weekend for driving schools and generally wailing the tar out of their cars in a controlled environment with instructors.

    Seeing the NYS plate leads one to believe that this " traffic stop " may have been in conjunction with that event.

    Those cars will run through some brakes and tires in one weekend.

    If you want to tick off a Ferrari owner at a gas pump, just ask him " what year Corvette is that ? "....I do it and it is fun.

    New Corvettes, I believe are faster Then most Ferrari's ! πŸ˜‰

    Not to mention about $100K cheaper πŸ˜†

    I was in my hometown a couple of years ago going to the barber shop on Main St.I had to park about a half block away and as I was walking towards the barber shop,a new Ferrari came down Main St..I noticed that I was the only one to look at it.Nobody else gave a crap that we had what was probably a $400,000 car in town. That made me look at what kind of cars were parked on Main St, There were old pick ups,old cars and most of them were clean and well maintained and there was even a Chevette there.So I will never have to buy a Ferrari to fit in around here.

    Actually I owned a 1973 DeTomaso Pantera. They were sold at Lincoln/Mercury dealerships, and had a 5.8 L (351 cu in) Ford ClevelandΒ motor, and a ZF transaxle. A lot of horsepower for a mid-engine 2700 lb car.

    '73 had the last of the chrome bumpers ('74 had the black crash adsorbing bumpers). The bodies were made in Italy and liked to rust.

    To much work to keep it running, I sold mine after storing it for 10 years.
