a Ferrari mechanic probably makes ok money... but not enough to afford one.
a Porsche has been said to be the exotic sports car entry level

I bet the guy brought his Porsche so he could be the non-conformist.

I'm more surprised that with that many Ferraris in one location they would have only one designated mechanic...

That is very funny...

Great picture for captions

"But you're not a member of the red Ferrari club, are you"

Does that Testarossa on the left / middle have a huge wing and some sort of fender treatment? Don Johnson would be proud

I think it is the Ferrari equivalent of an RSR replica. I am sure the owner likes the fact that it looks like an F40 but it is a Testarossa. I actually like the flat 12 better than the V8 but they are both very nice in their own way.

I think there was a Challenge version of the Testarosa, much like a GT3 Cup Car of the Ferrari world.

I have to agree with Flieger on that one, it's definitely a testarossa, not an F40. I wouldn't kick it out of my garage either way though...unless I needed to make room for another Porsche!

I stand corrected. I only looked at the wing and didn't focus further. Now that I have my glasses on I can see the rear decklid/window better.

Nonetheless, an F40 is a world-class Super Car. A Testarossa (or TR) is a nightclub-cruising donkey wagon.

Oops...spoke too soon. There is an F40 in the front row, 2nd car from the right. Yeah...that's the car I was talking about...

These days (living in Atlanta) it looks like a line at a gas station in Buckhead...

If you look closely there IS an F40 in there. Front row on the right. And theres a 364 on the left.
