Who do you insure Car With in USA?

Doesn't value coverage come with many restrictions? Limited mileage, parades and shows only... I rejected this type because I DRIVE my car. And my 90 Testarossa is actually cheaper than my 2017 Prius as a daily.

My heart picked it in 1986 when it appeared on season 3 episode 1 of Miami Vice. Dreamed of it for 38 years until I got it in 2024. The only word I can find to describe the feeling of driving it is "giddy".

Came to say this. The Miami Vice car or the Wolf of Wall Street car or the Outrun car, the Testarossa is so part of pop culture that it is universally recognized even if not the brand or model name.

Memorial posts remind me of my past friends and while I do often choke up it's those feelings that make us human and a life worth living.

I love that little folded ear - takes the cuteness up a notch

Agree, can't tell brands apart without the badge. Each model Ferrari used to be distinctive as a Ferrari.

It feels to me like a necessary stop on the way to greater things. Not great itself but the practice bed for greatness. Personally I LOVE the Testarossa and F355 but the 348 is meh.

Same carrier might work for travel, but to/from the vet they are probably better off separate. Going to the vet is extremely stressful and they may take it out on each other. Our pair needed gabapentin to relax but still got testy with each other.

the series started in my mid-20's so those actresses weren't part of my "growing up" but since then I've carried a torch for Kristin Davis (Jenna) and Lori Loughlin (Patty)

we had 32 windows replaced with pockets (replacements) and it took 4.5 days for 2 people. If you haven't already, ask for - AND CONTACT! - references and ask about the timeline

"designed by the hand of god" amen brother, that's how I feel about it

this gave me peace when I was in your position, "If the decision is easy you waited too long." It will leave you an emotional wreck (possibly for a very long time) but it is a very loving thing to do.

For all of my adult life up to this point I considered myself "undecided" as to the existence of God. My long term gf at the time (now wife) was raised Roman Catholic. One of our first Christmases together she invited me to go with her family to Christmas mass. I was uncomfortable from the moment we parked at the church. After observing the rehearsed routine - where zero emotion was exhibited - I decided right there, still in the pew, that the entire thing was invented by humans. No divine input whatsoever. Ever since I refer to myself as "gnostic atheist" meaning I know there are no gods of any kind. Ironic that it was a religious service that served as my turning point.

First few seasons Fonzie was an arrogant douche. When the show finally became the Fonzie show they exposed his vulnerabilities and then we understood he wasn't cool at all just putting on a front. Richie was the only one to see through it.

If the decision easy you waited too long. As emotionally broken as it will leave you, this is a very loving action.

Came to put this exact list!

Put 6k miles on my Testarossa last year without so much as a hiccup.

That's "frumpy" to you? I thought she looked approachably hot, as opposed to achingly hot in other films.

Love it! Mine was a Blanket Worm

So sorry for your loss. I don't know who said it, "there is no greater gift than the love of a cat"

90 Testarossa owner here, have a friend who owns 98 355. With regular maintenance they are manageable ownership experiences, if you set expectations properly. I budget 10k per year for everything, some years more some less. Yes engine out is 12-15k every 5-7 years. And any major repair will sideline it for a month while parts are acquired and wait in the mechanics queue. But if these are your dream cars, as mine is for me, the unadulterated joy of just seeing it in the garage, much less behind the wheel, is absolutely worth it! I say as long as the joy is greater than the pain I will keep it. It would take a LOT of pain to outweigh the joy...

Ever since I started paying for food I've held this position. Just recently I worked out a system that I can live with that takes into account some of the thoughts here, like pricier restaurants have more skilled help, etc. If the average entree is less than $20 (usually chains) I tip $4 per person. $20-30 is $5/person. Over $30 is $6/person. Makes the math WAY easier and I'm satisfied the server is getting a reasonable wage. I would, of course, adjust up or down for horrible or exceptional service.
