I know there's not a lot of Ferrari fans on this forum, but...

I'm going to need help selling off a fraction of my gun collection so I can buy this bad boy. This beauty has a balsa wood shift knob where every attempt was made to keep the car as light as possible. I will provide a replica balsa wood shift knob soaked in authentic replica Steve McQueen shift hand sweat to anyone who contributes financially to the cause. C'mon @Bassbob, I know you're in. I'll take a picture of you with the shifter knob. I'll call it One Famous Knob Next to Another. I just need a paltry $20,000,000. C'mon Cretins and Curmudgeons, you want in just so you can complain about how much roomier your Buick LeSabres are - and lets not forget the gas mileage...

I'm in for $5 but if his Huer Monaco or Submariner are in the glove box or under the seat I got dibs lol.

Not really a fan of the man or the car. More of a Gator Mcklusky kina guy.

A fraction of your gun collection? I'm totally envious of your armory.

Don't worry, I’m taking good care of them for you.

Can you get it painted Ferrari Red?

 

[KillerFord1977]

I got dibs on your Porsche when you get this one

 

[Shibadog]

McQueen was the real deal. He competed a lot on motorcycles as “Harvey Mushman”. He was a member of the US ISDT team. Plus auto racing. Cool stuff

That would be called the Ferrari 330/P4, the car that Ford built the GT40 to beat. This is one of the most beautiful cars ever built.

Yeah, I’m going to need it to drive over to the secure, private climate controlled facility where I’ll be keeping the 917.

Oh, thats we will call Grand Theft Auto and the Fast & Furious take it away from you facility

Wait until I tell the insurance company that my 917 was “stolen.” Even Jerry Seinfeld won’t be able to afford it after that.

 

[BarryinIN]

This Porsche 917K would probably be a solid Number One on my wish list.

 

[Shibadog]

if I ever somehow got a hyper expensive car before the week was out some clown in a clapped out 30 yr old Chevy pickup with no insurance would run into it

I get that with my Porsche. I’ll park it off by itself and when I come back there will be a dually parked either side of it.

 

[The Night Rider]

Am I missing something? The vehicle in the OP is a Porsche.

Either way I just can't see the point of owning a Ferrari or a Porsche unless I was making regular trips between the say Colorado Springs and Omaha.

Speaking of which, some of you may remember the song Red Barchetta by Rush.

When I was a kid I mentioned to a friend of mine that a Barchetta was a real car. He told me that I was full of it. Accident looked it up a Barchetta is a type of Ferrari
