In all my travels, I had only been to Italy once, so I was excited to finally spend some meaningful time in the birth country of my beloved Alfa Spider. About two years ago, our friends invited us there to join them.
But our friends’ focus was on another Italian marque. That marque was…
Welcome to the "Stable," Tim. I've got bit by the Ferrari bug about a decade ago, while getting my masters in Monterey, CA, and it has been the best car purchase I've ever made. (1985 308 GTS QV) The mid-vintage Ferrari community is fantastic bunch of car nerds. Most of us are true multi-mark enthusiasts; like you, I'm a big early Mustang and Cobra fan.
Owning and working on my car has even led to a small business designing and fabricating little bits and bobs to further enhance the motoring experience. Most of the stuff I'm selling right now is for 308s and Testarossas, because those are the cars that my partner and I own, but I have at least one neat new item that will fit in your new car: a USB charger that fits neatly and out-of-sight inside that ashtray. (Assumption: you don't plan on smoking in the car. I certainly never have.) No drilling or cutting required, so easy to pull out for a show. Happy to send you a prototype.
Congrats! I love these v8s and they are pretty straightforward to service and live with but if you ever get the urge for more power, I can confirm an STI engine does fit in the back of a GT4. 
The 308 GT4 captured my heart and soul decades ago now, and every time I see my car I swear my heart still palpitates. Mine was red when I bought it, but I'm the odd-fellow who never wanted a red Ferrari. So I repainted back to its original shade of green. These cars bring so much joy.

I'd be very interested in this USB charger… I've been trying to find a good solution for that, and it's not easy!
