if you know the back story of how each vehicle got into it's current battered state, i'm sure others, and myself, would like to know. if it's too much to write then just pics is fine. we'll make up our own story of how it got in that condition.

And that has to be the worst place for the handbrake that I have ever seen. You have to switch hands and let go of the steering wheel in order to use it.

I'll remember that when I go to pull the e-brake and lose control and crash into a tree and die at 45MPH.

It's down there on the 'vette's from that era too. Having spent a good amount of time behind the wheel of one, I have to agree. It's a real PITA, especially after my accident and I lost almost all use of my left arm for over a year. From an ergonomics standpoint there's plenty to dislike about that Ferrari, but none of it matters when you look at just how gorgeous it is or how wonderful they sound.
