The guy I work with has a Maser... just try to get spare parts for one of these critters. Do not even think of using a normal wiring diagram to work on it as they are all hand built and may differ (greatly) from anything in the maintenance manual...

Tired of your Bimmer, Mercedes or Jag?

Personally I find them to be uninspired. The blue resembles a rounded 745 and the yellow a Tiburon.
I hear they have a set though.

Never heard one of these. Do they sound similiar to a Ferrari? Does Ferrari supply the engines? Sorry to ask dumb questions but I don't find them very lustful so I have not paid any attention to them. The rear end looks like a Maranello, though.

I saw one in Toronto on the 404 on the weekend, driven by a guy who obviously was afraid of it. I could see the panic in his eyes as I swept past. I thought it looked fat & very, very common except for the badge.

Joe Walsh Rocks!!!!!

The Tiburon is actually a very nice car for the money. 10 year/100,000 mile Warranty ain't bad, either.

I gotta say Joe Walsh is probably why I like Maseratis. Only had a drive in one.

I agree on the value that Hyundai delivers. Perfect for the hard core commuter or fleet vehicle. They go high miles with little maintenance.

I liked Maserati back in the day of the Merak SS and Bora. Although they were described as unfinished engineering projects they had a unique ad appealing quality about them. I stopped being a fan when the Bi-turbo showed up.

Joe Walsh was on Howard Stern last week. He is a riot. He had great stories to tell and told them well.

It seems he hangs out 1 town North of me in Vero Beach Florida and goes to the Dodgers Spring training a lot.

He had some great Gator hunting stories that gave me good laugh.

I used to be in love with the Maserati Bi-Turbo of years past. I had a chance to own one but, after researching further found that parts were impossible to get for them.

I grew up with Joe in Cleveland. Remember the whole James Gang band. He used to hang out in Kent at a bar called JB's. The guy who taught him to play was Glenn Swartz who left the James Gang and moved out to CA to play with PG&E. He is now back in Cleveland, totally fried and living in a van playing this little dive in The Flats on thursday nights. The Eagles were playing in Cleveland one night a few years back and the whole band showed up at the dive to see Glenn. Would have loved to have been there. Glenn can still smoke..he's just mad as a March hare.

I saw Walsh in '80, and it was a great show. The live version of "Turn To Stone" is one of the greatest tracks ever cut (yes, even with the indulgent flute solo in the middle). Absolutely amazing guitar work. I think he is one of the most underrated guitarists out there. He is one of my "holy trinity + 2" of guitarists (hendrix, clapton, allman, beck, walsh).
