Ferrari Commits Major Mistake...

...by photographing some other car in front of a 288 GTO.

Excuse me sir, could you please move your car? You're obstructing my view of the GTO!

I guess all things really were better in the 1980s.

Duh.

(says the guy with the Miami Vice pastels on, playing Ratt turned up to 11...)

somewhere Higgins is looking up from fornicating with a hot tanned blonde with a look of moderate disapproval.

…that’s “say what” quality material right there.

The first rule of say what is that you do not talk about say what.

That GTO though...move the other car please!

they look the same to me..

I don't know I would take one of each. Both are great cars.

I sorta like the new one better.

You shut your whore mouth!

Back in the 80's I lusted after a 911, not a Ferrari or Lambo.

Nice cars,(the Ferrari's) but I agree with TJ...

they did stage the pics so that the newer one (the one they want you to give them money for) is in the foreground of each shot, with the older one in the background so you can see how the styling has carried over from old to new, something something heritage something something...

Not even. 911s were everywhere back then. But Ferrari? Rare, and cool to see.

All I can say is that I love the 288 GTO!

Say what one more time.

As for the Ferraris, I'll take the older one please.

How about a 308 GTS?

80's box. Just as delicious as the decade it was made....

In reply to DWNSHFT:

I'm pretty sure the 288 GTO is photographed in front of the Tiburon.

Name something that wasn't better in the 80s.

Music: The 80s had Slayer and Metallica and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts. Now we have... whiny douchebags and nu-grunge.

Cars: Enough said.

Fast Food: McDLT versus... what now? 19 cent tacos at Taco Bell versus $5 burritos? 80s wins hands down.

This is like comparing Bo Derek to Hannah Davis. Are you really going to say either is not acceptable?

Curves are fugly. Cars need angles to be interesting.

There isn't one straightish line at ALL on that car. Looks like a Tiburon. This is not a good thing, as trendy as it is to make cars look like POSes (rusting hoods to get the cachet of a base '95 Neon, etc).

And those wheels are just way too freakin' huge. I mean look at them. The tops of the tires look like they are higher than the fenders of the 288. Jack it up and paint a Snickers logo on the side.

Yes, please! But can I make it a GTB?

I'm not a Ferrari fanboy, I simply love the styling on the 308 and especially the 288.

I second the "80's were totally awesome" theme.

A-Team, Quincy ME (early 80's), RATT, Motley Crüe, 911's, Ferraris, Heather Thomas...
