I have never seen the FF but would love to. It's an interesting design; not sure if it's for me. In June I plan to vacation in Italy. We (wife and I) will drive through La Terra dei Motori, Emilia Romagna; specifically to Maranello, Modena, and Sant'Agata Bolognese (Ferrari, Maserati, and Lamborghini). I would love to test drive a Ferrari!

I visited Ferrari and Lamborghini some years ago and I also included the Imola race circut (I watch F1). I would recommend the Ferrari factory and track tour. It is a bus tour around the factory area + Fiorano race circuit. Interesting. Saw a camouflage LaFerrari inside the factory area back then + numerous FXXs at Fiorano. I think you have to be a Ferrari owner to visit the factory and see the production line. Pushstart and others offer affordable test drives (488 GTB, F12berlinetta, Huracán and so on).

Not really interesting, just old. A 60s Chevy Corvair 2 door hardtop, non-rusted, but clear coat completely gone for the most part.

Honda minitruck, with the right hand drive, tiny wheels, cab over engine, etc. Cargo looked like a motorcycle engine and exhuast pipes.

Why not? The GTC4 Lusso is now avaliable with a turbo V8 and RWD. Still, a proper Ferrari should have V12 in my opinion.

A 2nd-gen Toyota Supra, very clean and very crisp. (Like this, Web image)

And very fast. I was on the freeway doing 65MPH in the right lane and he almost blew my doors off as he passed. Musta been doing about 100.

Very cool.

If the 288 GTO and F40 aren't "proper" Ferraris, then nothing is.

Saw a DeLorean DMC-12 on the other side of the highway this morning. If I didn't have work, I would have honestly turned around just to have the opportunity to take a picture. They only made roughly 10,000 of them so they're extremely rare.

Yesterday was a bright and sunny day here. We have a break from the heavy rains and flooding. My wife and I said hello to a guy driving his nice white 1988 Porsche 911 Targa with the whale tail on Treasure Island in San Francisco. He's owned it about 3 years. It was very nice and clean.

A half hour later we saw another Porsche 991 with the duck tail driving on the freeway - nice.

We also saw two (two!) JGC CRDs (that's my shorthand for the Diesel Grand Cherokee: Jeep Grand Cherokee, Common-Rail Diesel). I am surprised I do not see more out there, and yes I am very biased. I own one and love it - essentially you get V-8 gas performance with better than V-6 gas fuel economy and range. I go weeks and months without seeing another JGC CRD on the road. America is averse to Diesel, for many reasons. When I pull up to people they are often surprised to hear the engine. They greet me with, "This is a Diesel??!!" The 911 Targa guy said that too.

There were other cars too, like a nice 3rd-gen Chevy Nova, vintage late-1960s or early 1970s. Yesterday was a target-rich environment day.
