I would not mind getting that model, when I have the money. That is a F355 GTB F1. The F355's are the most finicky to own, lots of maintenance. I originally was looking for a 355, but then started looking at something more wallet friendly, so I looked at 308's and 328's. Those I physically do not fit in, so scratch that. Then I took that nice long ride in the Testarossa, and was very pleased with every aspect. The early ones are tempermental, like the one I rode in, but the later ones are better. The early ones also have single hub nuts, rather than wheel bolts. Wheel bolts started in 1988 1/2. I think the hub nut is cool, but I can imagine it can be a pain. We'll see, wife is not on board, and I would love to keep the Mustang. Maybe a few more years.

so do they have seperate wheels from hubs with the single nut, or is the wheel actually the hub as one piece that contains wheel bearings and the like?

I had planned to go. I believe Brendon said that he was thinking of going and I was going to hitch a ride with him, but I haven't talked to him about it since IHOP a few weeks ago.

Looks good Aaron! Now you just have to be able to drive it, haha.

In light of all the videos, I thought I would throw one up myself. I remember back in the day my buddy and I used to play this racing game on the computer and I always drove this...and won. I think it was in the early Need for Speed games. Crazy space age 90's cars!

I'd go if I could somehow get time off work for it. Money takes priority right now.
