Remember when Ferrari made attractive cars?

:(

All of these new Ferraris just leave me feeling flat. I'm sure they're amazing to drive, but part of the appeal of a Ferrari was that it was a sexy beast to look at.

And it's gettingt worse. Just look at the brand new Testarossa.

Yeah, just like with other things in today's world, esoteric car manufacturers (and even large regular passenger car manufacturers) have jumped the shark.

I see this kind of thing all around me. Do we really need 20 varieties of Oreo cookies, not even counting all the "Limited Editions".  Or dozen flavors of Coke or Pepsi? seems that every time I go grocery store, there is a new variety of something available.  This extends to other product ranges too.  Sometimes too-much is too-much.

As regards the first post.  The Amalfi is a just announced, so no kit yet.  An F12 TdF may be available from Alpha, but otherwise just a Burago diecast at the moment.  Alpha also has a 12 Cilindri GTS, but I did not get that.

I saw these in person and was not entirely excited. They looked ok but I like the old pininfarina designs. But I grew up with the old designs. This was the first time I saw millionaires working for billionaires. I’m just a mere peasant. One guy not even 40 years old said he will buy 2. One for him and his wife. Cool 1 million. Had the money wired transferred in a second. So you may not like it , but the billionaires like it so Ferrari caters to them , not us. The Ferrari p3-4 is what I like but it’s not 1967.

Another crazy thing I saw was the bill for all of us ( the team) at the reserved restaurant in Monterey. I thought it was $3000 at cringed at that but Ron the mechanic said look again. It was $30,000  a very different and unique lifestyle.
