Totally dug free wheelin trans. Had to not use free wheelin in my uncles v4 sonett cause power on off too quick would blow it. I also had a model 95 nicknamed "pickle" by h.s. Classmates.

got to bomb around part of a summer in a Ferrari Mondial cabrio that my lawyer bro in law repo'ed from a client.
Even tho the Mondial isn't one of the best-regarded Ferraris, have to admit it was a pretty durn cool car, made all the right snarling V8 noises, drove incredibly well (powerslides on command) , rode pretty soft at same time, and yes indeed it WAS a genuine chick magnet. Not much more groovy set o wheels for stylin down Bay View Street in Camden on a hot summer night.
:wub:
:wub:
BUT BUT BUT there was always this overriding sense of impending mechanical doom...and yep stuff not workiing, w/ prospect of horrific parts costs. like $500 window switches, or $400 to replace a latch for the cabrio top (soo we just left top down all summer) and several grand for timing belts to stave off a $20k motor rebuild etc etc. Eventually Dave sold it to some sucka thru Uncle Henry's (like who da fark would buy a used Ferrari in Uncle Henry's??!!)
good car for Miami Vice wannabes, bad bad for normal Mainers.
