When I was in middle school (early 1980s), the poster on my wall was a 308. When I was in high school, I made a goal that within 10 years of my final graduation (whether that was college or grad school I wasn't sure at the time) I'd own a Ferrari. I got my final degree in 1993 so that gave me until 2003. I wasn't in a rush until one day in 1996 I was on a payphone at a gas station and noticed an older gentleman (I'll call him Grandpa) on a Harley helping a little boy (I'll call him Grandson) off the back of the Harley. I watched them and thought to myself, "That guy bought that Harley because he wanted it, and it's now part of his family." I decided I'd go ahead and buy my 308 but they were a little pricey for my income level so I bought a Mondial as a try-out. After a year of ownership, I sold it and a week later in 1997 I bought the 308 I still have. And it's exactly the 308 I wanted, the one from my poster (that I still have), a red Euro 308 GTS/QV.
That car has been at Classic Coach for 23 months now but I should get it back soon.

Rick asks “Why do any of us here buy a Ferrari?”
I had to. My wife is Italian and my back ground was Porsche – and the horses on the badges are the same. Sorta.
