I doubt even the factory has ever had that many F40's in one place at a time.

F40 is nice and fast but F50 is the one I'd ask for! I saw an 599GTB+F430Spyder this evening!

The fiorano makes a noise

So hard to believe the car is TWENTY years old!!! I mean.. think back to how old you were, what you were doing, what you liked.. what was happening in the world... in 1987. And this car was running around.

It was also the year "The Joshua Tree" was released.

I thought I was the only one who felt that way about the F50/F40... I'm by no means saying I would say no to a F40, I just like the F50 better.

I'm with you too. Don't get me wrong, the F40 is a fantastic car, but I think the F50 is stylistically one of the best looking cars I have ever seen.

also in 1987 - Baby Jessica falls down the well.

I love the F50 over the F40 too. But, I have to say, I think the F40 is aging better. It looks more "classic". I looked at some F50 pics recently, and its starting to show some age. imo. I think it has to do with the curves. The sharp angles of the F40 take you back to a time where that was the theme of Ferrari.. 308, BB512i, 288 GTO.. when the F40 came out, it was kind of like a "super" combination of all these cars - it had stylistic elements from all of them, merged into one crazy car. The F50 is kind of its own unique beast, and doesn't have as many (obvious) cues to prior Ferraris. Its much more curvy, still sexy of course, but I think this is a reason why its not aging as well. /rambling
