    “One of my all time favorite cars! I had two kids and one on the way. At the time minivans were the big thing, SUVs hadn’t replaced them yet. I couldn’t afford a minivan, but could afford almost this exact car, then 10 years old.
    Those kids were 5 and 3 at the time, but they still remember the car, and watching The Iron Giant with my wife at an Indiana drive in with pizza and popcorn. The way back seat held all of us comfortably on a rainy summer night. I knew even then it was going to…”

    “A huge thank you to @pkatzakian (previous owner) for kindly getting these period photographs over to me. Following the discussion in the comments, Phil was able to send them through, and I’m delighted to be able to share them here with everyone.
    These photographs show RT3-468 during Phil’s ownership wearing its California Cooler livery and add another documented chapter to the car’s history and provenance. It has been a real pleasure reconnecting with Phil after all these years and…”

    “What a great story, thanks for sharing…
    Also great to see these old cars getting used, dirty and maybe a rock-chip memory or two…
    That Gulf Livery 911 was spotted by me on Fathers Day coming down from Pinecrest last year.
    It was my first time taking my daughter on an annual camping trip my wifes family has been doing for years. Wife doesn’t like camping so after years of declining the invite, I decided my daughter was old enough to give ‘glamping’ a shot as an entry into another…”

    “Back when BMW Car Club of America was still young and Hoffman Motors was the sole U.S. Distributor, it was the club members who offered guidance to BMW owners regarding things to watch out for. One such piece of advice was to avoid purchase of BMWs with two-stage metallic paint due to failure of the clear coat.
    Complaints ranged from dulling, checking to llifting and separation of large clear coat sections on all horizontal surfaces — hood, roof and decklid. After numerous complaints,…”

    “I made a comment on this auction before an epic 10 day trip to Italy. I’m back. The auction is still going!
    I was in northern Italy (Milan and Lake Como) and guess how many Ferraris I saw?
    One. One solitary 296… in ten days.
    My son: “Dad, where are all the Ferraris?”
    Me: “In the USA.””

    JpRocketship commented on Lot #250,000: 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO

    “Mezger engine block was literally built to be wailed on at redline for 24 hrs straight, it’s nearly impossible to destroy it, you have to be intentionally holding it past redline for probably 1 hr+.
    Reminds me of the old cash for clunkers video where they emptied the oil pan on an 80 series landcruiser, put it in neutral, and floored it. It took like 20+ mins at past redline for the engine to give out with no lubrication.”

    “I have and would drive any 200 cross country. Bring a couple spanners 10mm 13 mm pop into advance grab some coolant and oil, bring an extra thermostat and you should be good to go.
    If coming west stay off 80 at night when rainy lol. 200’s are the best when on point.”

    “I owned SN 5077 many years ago. The 4-liter engine pulls like a locomotive. There is comfortable seating for 4 adults. I think it is the best of the 2+2 classic Ferraris. You will never regret owning it. – Keith Martin”
