Default is a ferrari good as a beater?

yes boys and girls,used ferrari prices here in calif are so in the toilet i was able to get a mid-70's 308 for considerably less than a well-used s2000 ....it's red, runs well and the power windows still [barely] work..so as the silverstone s sits patiently under it's flannel car cover, i'm driving the shit out of the 308 while it's still running....as i'm an older gentleman, the local po-lice don't pay much attention, but it drives the kids in their eurasian/rockets crazy....believe me, it's not that fast [a soccermom in a minivan could probably take me] so i make a lot of noise at stoplights and sputter off as the thirty-something in his wrx lights everything up...great fun!!..oh yeah, as any good beater, it leaks a lot of oil and smells a bit funny inside.


btw; ORIGINAL black plastic 5-speed shift knob....sooo cool.

I've always dreamed of having one as a project car, but as a dailly driver I was afraid it would nickle and dime me to death.

Must be a blast to drive tho.
