I might perform murder for a Toyota 2000GT or an e-type.... like... it's a problem
Yeah man I remember when you could get into an e-jag for less than $20k. They're positively stratospheric now. I think if I were to pick one horrifically-impractical parade float of unreliability from that era it would be the Ferrari Dino 246. Have you ever really thought about how much fun it must have been to have been Roxette? Like being Abba but there's only two of you and you have power chords. Shit. The girl died in December. I guess I have to spend the rest of the day listening to Roxette and dreaming of Ferrari Dinos. PROTIP: if you set your sights on truly unattainable cars, you will never be tempted to murder.
that little Dino is.... cute? it makes me think of those Fiero Ferrari kit cars people assemble. It's awesome in all the right ways. the shot of the jag's mechanical throttle made my heart race. What a beautiful car.I guess I have to spend the rest of the day listening to Roxette and dreaming of Ferrari Dinos.
unattainable cars
I think without the Fiero the kit car industry would have died in '84. SO many different flavors of "almost" are based on that chassis. To me a Dino is a mid-engined sports car that isn't trying too hard. It was supposed to be like the Ferrari Lite of the era; if you truly wanted to go fast, you bought a 365 like a real man. They're stratospherically expensive for what they are, too. 2.4L of Italian unreliability for a mere $250k? Sign me up please! But they're the curviest little creatures. If I could buy one for a tenth what they go for I'd sure think about it.
