ACTUALLY it’s rosso corsa, not red

Who’s the lucky Cadillac owner?

Congratulations.

All you need now is a Tom Selleck mustache.

That’s easy! You don’t “own” it. You are solely the keeper of it, burdened with the responsibility of preserving it for future generations, much like a museum curator.

That being said, cars are meant to be driven and standing still does more harm than driving them like they were intended to. So enjoy hooning it like a mad man to keep it young at heart.

Funny enough, when I went to drive it I happened to be wearing a Hawaiian shirt. Randomly. So I figure it was kismet.

P.S. what is the best fleece full-zip vest to wear while driving this car

Granted, a red Italian car is somewhat of a cliché but if it came like that from the factory... it gets a pass.

“Resale red”, however, is totally unacceptable. Even if the original colour was marrone Dino metallizzato.

I remember a designer for Alfa Romeo saying their cars have to look gorgeous in red. If not, it’s back to the drawing board...

Maybe . Hmu next time you are in LA though. A ride along is totally possible

I would not doubt that!

What part of LA? I’ve also got an offer to go to Laguna with another Oppo. The Father in Law lives 8 blocks off the pier in Santa Monica

One day I hope I can say the same. Currently the 308 is my absolute nr1 dream car. Congratulations to a very nice car!

If you end up in Nashville definitely let me know. I’ll let you try a car with 30 more hp hahaha. Does not look or sound as good though.

04/26/2018 at 16:57

You have like 100 more HP than me. I’m an even 300 HP / 3000 lbs. I really love the IS-F. I’ve always thought they were cool, but then I heard one with straight pipes in the canyons. I’ve been sold ever since haha.

I went to school in Memphis and we ventured to Nashville more often than we should have so I’m semi familiar with the area. I would love to go back soon though!

04/26/2018 at 17:03

Ah i thought you were at 375. Were actually very close in hp/lb though because I’m 416/3900. I want my car louder, but I am scared to straight pipe because I hate drone.

I’m just down in Brentwood so super easy to get up to Nashville and back down.

04/26/2018 at 17:10

375HP is the 355. It’s amazing they made a 25% jump in power between models. Without forced induction and only increasing displacement 0.1L

A cutout valve would be perfect. Lexus quiet when you are just trying to get to point B. Fire-breathing monster V8 loud when it is time for shenanigans

04/26/2018 at 17:14

Ohh you have a 348. Got it. Yeah someone else told me to do cutoff valves but I’m still worried. No clue what to do.

04/26/2018 at 17:21

Yeah, I’m now the middle child of oppo Ferraris haha

I think you would be fine with valves. if you hate them, exhaust is pretty easily reversed.

I dropped the ball. Could have had 3 posts in a row! Now we just need someone to get a 308 or 360. We are slowly building the v8 siblings haha

I meant to send you a message earlier, but you should totally drive down for the spring Stoogefest next month. I think a few Bay area Stooges are coming down.

Chan - Mid-engine with cabin fever > SPAMBot - Horse Doctor
04/30/2018 at 19:48

There’s more than one? I only know one Bay Area stooge and he did the major service on my car.

Unfortunately I won’t be able to take that much vacation anytime too soon—just came back from a 2-week Asia trip! I’m sure it will be gobs of fun.

SPAMBot - Horse Doctor > Chan - Mid-engine with cabin fever
04/30/2018 at 22:14

There are a few! And I totally get the vacation thing. I think I saw pictures of a few cars from that trip. It seemed cool!

I’ve offered all of my rides to Doug over the years. So far, no uptake. I was sort of surprised he doesn’t want to do a video on an E9 but he says the videos on newer cars do a lot better.
