there aren't a ton of mechanics for them in the PNW.

I dunno, Portland has the oldest Ferrari dealer in the US, there's bound to be at least a few techs in the PNW who know their way around one.

Also if you want lots of close up details about these, check out the Harry's Garage ep with the Testarossa: http://youtu.be/1XlPUQjmJyk

He also does similar in depth episodes with a Countach and several other iconic super are.

I've noticed the same thing about AI membership. Is the entire demographic of SA staying stagnant and aging?

It's sad how most of us started as late teens early 20s assholes, now we're all bitter late 20s++++.

And that this forum has had very little turnover in 3+ years.

I dunno what you're talking about, I started here in my late 20's and now I'm about to turn 40 and IOC is the only regular poster I still remember from the early 2000's.

drat young whippersnappers. :bahgawd:

I dunno, my son is 7 yrs old and he loving LOVES cars, and it's not like I'm encouraging it either. Whenever he sees a 911 or any kind of Ferrari he freaks out. He begged me to take him to cars and coffee after finding out about it all on his own.

I guess my point is you can still love cars even if you can't afford them.

Anecdotal, and tainted by your own tastes and likes being a large influence on him.

Young people these days don't need cars as much because they can chill with their friends on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Snapchat (as opposed to older generations who could only hang out and chat if they physically could get places), and most of them aren't working/earning enough to afford a beater, so aside from kids whose parents don't start exposing them to cars and racing at a young age, they just don't care.

From what I've read, the handling improvements in the 348 are really noticeable over the 328.

Apparently the 348 chassis was used as the test mule for the Enzo prototypes.

And you better take back that comment about the 308/328 looking dated, those and the Dino are the best aging vintage Ferraris. It's the 512 and 348 that are perpetually stuck in a decade (the 80's). :bahgawd:
