Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Maranello 575

Larry,

I was messing around, watching things on YouTube the other day, and came
across a collector, who had most exotics in his garage.  He said he
preferred them to art you hang on your wall and enjoyed going into the
garage after work and just walking around amongst them.  He had a Porsche
CGT, that he said he's never drive in yet.  I'd hate to be the guy the buys
one of those cars 15 years down the road.  I bet half of them wouldn't make
it back from a drive with all their fluids intact.
