I guess I am kinda surprised at the resistance here to the Classiche 
idea...It may be a chunk of money to burn but it is on a hobby and if you are 
going to 
keep the car than maybe its worth it. Look at the people on this list 
(including me) that spend a fortune on a garage, buy new cars that depreciate 
6-10k 
dollars a YEAR and all the other dumb ass things we do. Never at any point was 
owning a Ferrari anything but a big pile of money down a bottomless pit...(But 
a lot of fun to do it)....kinda like marriage I guess....
