It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

I had a blue one once.... but I gave it to a friend
Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project. 

So I went solo.  -Me

I'm surprised with all the negative press as to its looks.  I love it and having the kiddie seats in back just makes it more of a dream vehicle for me.

I like what they are doing on the website too.  Ferrari was allways bad at not having a place where dreamers could really explore their cars on the net.   I want to sit over coffee in the morning and build and paint my own net car while wishing I didn't have to go to work to pay for the ford ranger.

I love the old Ferrari California 250GT's --- stunningly beautiful especially with the covered headlight iterations.  I helped in restoring one years ago that won at Pebble and other concours.  Fun cars to play with as well and still reliable for daily use.

The new California?  It looks like an intermixed breeding of a Ferrari tail, older BMW roadster door / front fender and Lexus windscreen.  It leaves me cold.  I'd buy the Alfa 8C spyder (below) long before I'd ever consider the Ferrari.

The 8C is what dreams are made of!!!  Especially owning the first new Alfa an US soil in almost 14 years....  Have you seen the new MiTo?  The poor man's 8C.  The size of a mini cooper and you can upgrade it to 230bhp. 

I think this is my favorite angle of the Ferrari -

abby normal

i think its stunning.

but even so ... ferraris are like pizza.  even when they're bad, they're still pretty good.

The real 8C2900's of the 1930's are what dreams are made of (along with the P3 Alfa) -- the new one is just stunning and a continuance from then.  For those at the upcoming Pebble Beach concours d'elegance this year -- stop by and say "hi".  I'm with the 8C2900 that will be on the lawn this year.

Also they are having an exhibition of the real Ferrari 250 California's this year -- there are a few nice ones coming down in the transporter.

I like the looks of the California, but it doesn't look like a Ferrari to me...
